Well, this is my last night in this house...

How did I miss this thread...

Mame, let me give you a big hug. After having met you in person, I can say that you are indeed a remarkable woman. You're honest, straight forward, charming and witty, and everyone who has you as a friend, can count their blessings.

Breaking up IS hard to do, yes, most of us have experienced it in one
form or another, and as a segment of your life closes with a break-up,
you mourn the shared memories, the dreams and the love, and since the two of you still love each other and will maintain a close friendship,
the doors are not shut and one day you might reconsider a new beginning together.

I wish you all the best for your future, may it include what you wish for.

Hugging you all back. Ay yi yi... what would we women do without each other, eh? Thank you all.

Freeduck - you just hang onto those sweets until we have a meet - I'll bring as many spoons as need be... And I'll bring the beverages. Wouldn't that be a great meeting?

I know I sounded dry on that post, snork, but, more hugs.

You still love each other.
Your are on the same level.

Still, you do not want to spend your life together...

Makes me very sad to think about it, but I wish you both the best of luck for the future.
And may you find what you are looking for!

We'll need at least four spoons - you, me, Freeduck and Lash.

Wish I could be there now for you. I know it sounds cliche, but it does get better. You obviously know that being active / occupied will help. Sounds like you are on the right track in that way.

What are you making for the craft market?

Here, that'll match the fuzzy slippers. Hugs, gf.

Mame, you & your (ex)husband sound so sane! I'm mightily impressed.

All the very best to you at the start of your new life. I just know things are going to work out well for you. (And I'm never wrong about my hunches! :wink: )

Now, what are all those things you always wanted to do, but somehow didn't manage to fit into your life before?

Mame:

All the best for you.

Mame--

Beginnings are always full of promise--and qualms.

You're a woman who will make her own future.

Hold your dominion.

I haven't been able to access A2K on my laptop for ages so I'm borrowing a friend's. Thanks to all...

Will try and post some pics of the sewing projects - nothing as complicated or interesting as those blankets, but my catnip mice are cute

I'm looking at 8 houses tomorrow It's kind of exciting, isn't it?!

If I can access A2K from home later, I shall post the pics; if you don't see me, that would be why.

Lovely people, women! (and men)

Mame pm me your email. Can receive pms but not send yet. I am still not a member in good standing as yet.

Looking forward to your pictures...
If I had a lot of time on my hands, I would do a lot more sewing, too!
But even so, I have eight projects to still finish before christmas.

I think, Mame might still have some log-in problems. Hopefully, they
resolve itself soon.

Some craft shots:

Sorry it's so tiny, but here's one of my favourite shots of me and Kelly:

Wow, mame, really nice work!

I love the cows.

Is that all applique/ embroidery (I think I remember that's your preferred medium), or are the thick black lines puffy paint?

I smell a pajama party at someones new house.

Ha! The pillows are appliqued... the rest are not... I see I forgot to put the bibs in...I made 18 of them...




PJ parties are the best! I've got the beverages and snacks covered.

Unfortunately I cannot open your pic.
I don't think photobucket is one of the accepted sites on here....

Maybe at home, I will try later.

I am able to see them... hmmm...

Well, update: I sold some stuff at my first craft table and turns out they serve breakfast and lunch and may need a cook. Just Sundays. So that might work.

I'm feeling a lot stronger. That day I moved was so emotional. I have had an interview at a winery...don't want that particular job but we really liked each other so we discussed potential work re: event planning.

I fell in love with three areas here and don't want to live in the 'city'. I smile because it's small and probably not even designated a city. I'm still looking at real estate all over in order to get an idea of the pricing and housing market...nothing in the areas I love yet, though.

K is back from Strasbourg - wonderful conference for him, lots of networking and really jam-packed days. He's off to the lawyer and bank this week, so that should be sorted by Friday. He called this morning in great consternation - a property developer is hoping to buy the house next door. It is on a curve on the road, there is no sidewalk or shoulder and no driveway. He wants to put a driveway in and has staked out where he wants it to go. Some of it is on our property, he thinks, and he wanted advice on how to prevent him from 'ruining' our property - he's so funny. So brilliant at what he does but so helpless in the 'real' world

I have a situation with my daughter that I need some advice on but I don't want to advertise it all over A2K... I wish there was some kind of chat room I could invite people in to ... sigh. It's in limbo, meanwhile.

Well, that's it for me. Interested in hearing about what's going on in other peoples' lives...

Mame, Glad to see you back. Glad you sold some crafts. Glad you have a job possibility. Seems like things are going well. How are you feeling?
