Greetings from the past...
 
Hi all,
not long ago a member of this group sent me an email to my private
mailbox - and all of a sudden there were quite some memories coming to
my mind. The more , as I am sorting my stash of things and magazines
and was kind of "back in the past" anyway by looking on articles and
mags of 1995 and so on....
I was kind of indulging in fond memories of the friendly people I met
here, of those who got me "started" with designing and my own
business. And now I wonder : WHO is still here from "olden times" ? I
would be glad to "see" you and maybe chat a bit to and fro.
I have spent quite some hours now looking through old posts from
"then" - and I can tell you that is a pretty strange feeling to read
one's own posts, comments and stuff which is yeeeeeaaarrssss old now.

Lot has changed for me in my life ... and in yours for sure too !

For now -kind regards from an "old" poster here ( hihi - got 50 this
year, imagine that ! and still kicking...)

G'day Martina!

Fancy seeing you here after all these years! I hope life's been good to
you during all that time? I can see you're still designing because I
visit your website from time to time. Your designs just keep getting
better! I'd love to know is how Manuela is - she must be nearly finished
school by now? My Ellie (who was a toddler Back Then) is in her second
year of high school and nearly as tall as me!

I know how you feel about turning 50. Isn't it amazing how age sneaks up
on you and suddenly you find you're not as young as you feel? ROTFL!
Congratulations on joining us over-50s: it's not such a bad place to be.

Anyway, welcome back. Looking forward to seeing more of you! ;-D

Hi Dianne,

so nice to see you here still ! (waving.... !!!)

- well , I just need a place to "go" for some chat sometimes.. and
what else would
I chat about besides needlework stuff, threads, beads,
sparklies....grin

I am just sitting here, sleepless in Duisburg to say so - and kitting
up some
older designs with updated threads ( as the "old" stuff is not longer
available, much to
my dismay !) Have some gazillions of skeins of various companies on my
desk here,
try to keep the cat away and decide on what goes for which color.

Always mostly a fun project !

kind regards,

I have your Egyptian Garden kitted up and ready to go (bought
everything a while back). *One difference is - I have been playing
with the idea of doing it on a light goldish-tan silk and using
16-count waste canvas (which will allow 32-count over one). *I just
have to finish one other project first and figure out what type of
frame to use with it. Of course at the rate I stitch, it will take me
years to finish it! LOL.....


Fran -
did you ever stitch a large project on silk using waste canvas?
I would kind of fear, that such a symmetrical design will be somewhat
out of lines later, once the canvas is removed.
My experiences with wc are very limited to some Tshirts and tricotage
stuff
I embroidered once - but I could imagine it being utterly
difficult...for straight lines and graphic elements.

I remember you from my first time on the group in the mid 90's, I don't
think you'll recall me though.

Love your stuff, wish I had the wherewithal to try one of the gardens.

Me too!! I drool over them, then sigh, knowing I don't have the time
in this life.
