Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Hello! I'm a returning member from ages ago..not sure anyone from before is still here but my name then was as in the subject...Coffee_Freak.
Anyway..I'm back! I just wanted to pop in and introduce myself and while at work browse the other threads and hopefully this even be able to share some of my Wips! so glad to be back. Life went really crazy for a few years..bullet points below..as to why I vanished. I missed this forum badly

-dad passed away.
-husband of 13 years came out of closet..divorce..not an ugly one. we co-parent our now 13 year old son wonderfully.
-remarried my high school sweetheart
-daughter got married and now has a handsome 8mo boy
that's the gist of it

Yes Yes Yes. Welcome back!! You are more than welcome and there are still quite a few of us who I am sure will remember you! It certainly looks like you have had a few very very busy years. I am sorry to hear of the loss of your dad, always a difficult thing. And congratulations on your new marriage and on the new grandson. Looking forward to seeing what you have been working on! Hope you will be able to stick around for a good long while!

Indeed I remember you!!!

Funny thing was I saw your name pop up on the Index page a while back as a birthday or forumversary as Coffee-freak and I wondered about you then. I remembered that you'd moved and life had got in the way...as it does!

I'm sorry to learn about your dad's passing, you've certainly had a heck of a few years.
Sounds like you are back on course now though.
You will find a few changes here so you might need to explore a little.

So good to see you again!

Hello Welcome Back!

My goodness you have had a real time of it.

I'm sorry to read of your Dad's passing, it is always such a difficult time.

Although a shock about ex-husband how wonderful you have both found a way to co-parent, that in itself is a rarity, well done both of you.

Now married again and huge congratulations and your DD married and you're now a Grandmother Congratulations again

Hopefully life can settle down now and you have time to get back to your stitching, cuddles with grandson permitting.

and See! That was easy.

Can't add much to what everyone else has said, oh, well apart from

It's great to have you back with us.

I think having all these returnees this week must mean we need a Tuesday Soiree at the Stash & Grab!

Oh yes I see quite a few names I remember! Feels good to be back. Will take me time to get settled in.

Thank you all for your welcomes!

Welcome back! What with Nettie and Coffee_Freak now we just need our Threadbear back to be all lovely together again!

I was thinking about T'bear, too, funnily enough. Could always pm her... or is that too pushy? (Probably)

Maybe, maybe not. I was thinking about that also and maybe a few others who have faded away. Just to see how they are doing. But probably too pushy, like you say.
