I'm back!

[owensmum]

Well it's been a really long time since I've been here. I've come back to cross-stitch after a long time away as I need something to help me relax. Sadly my husband Steve passed away in May after a stroke but cross-stitch has been amazing therapy. Hopefully I'll be spending more time on here asking for hints and tips!

Welcome back! I remember you from before.

Condolences for your loss, but I'm pleased that you've found stitching to be good therapy.

What have you been stitching?

[owensmum]

Thanks

I've stitched quite a bit of stuff since I've been gone! If I knew how to add pictures, I'd put them on here!

Welcome back! It really is good to see you again, though I know how difficult getting through this year can be. I found the forum after my DH passed away. Cross stitching was and has continued to be one of the activities that has seen me through. The forum is another so please spend as much time with us as you need to. Looking forward to seeing your projects.

Thanks. I really appreciate it. It's been very difficult since he passed away as he was only 41 and hadn't been ill at all. Just like that one evening he fell into a coma and one month later, he was gone.
Stitching really soothes me so long may that continue!
