Hi, everyone. I realize this isn't a "sewing" topic, per se, but I really get ticked off when someone like Mary puts in a ton of time developing and maintaining this site, and someone with nothing to do decides to go in and wreck all her hard work.  I don't usually post a lot in here, but I'm ALWAYS here reading what you ladies are up to. I get a lot of information from you all (for which I thank you), even if you don't know I'm loitering around in here!  Keep up the great work, Mary, and thanks, everyone, for all the sewing tips.

I agree with you tea. I also dont think that we tell Mary how much we love this site and how much we appreciate every thing that she does for us. If it were not for this site I would have no one to turn to for help. Thank you Mary we love you. Catherine Catherine

| I totally agree! Thank you very much Mary. I don't get much sewing done but I turn to this site quite often. In times of stress, this site takes me away from the real world and allows me to enter into a sort of dream world, a "someday" world. I can read about real people who have real problems, sewing and otherwise, and know that I don't have to be perfect, just enjoy the sewing that I get to do. There is inspiration, love, and family in this site. Once again, thank you (and you daughter, husband, ect.) for all that you do. |

I had no idea what had happened when the site was down, and NO idea of how much it would AFFECT ME!!! I was constantly checking, and it reached a point where I thoughtthe site had actually gone permanitly!!!!!! So THANKYOU MARY for what you do with your site, and thankyou to all of you who post these great tips and free classes, as a relativly new sewer its invaluable to me. Thankyou so much everyone! |

I agree with all the others here, I would be lost if I didn't have this forum to go to. Since I've found this forum, I've gotten back into sewing. kylefty, you have it so (sew?) right! When things aren't going right, sewing or otherwise, I come to this forum and "get away", then I feel calmer. It doesn't make the problems go away, but it helps a lot. I've been job-hunting for over 2 months (possibly have success this week!) and have been getting really down lately. You guys have helped me cope, it's like a bunch of friends getting together to chat and making everyone feel wanted and appreciated. Mary, we can't tell you how much we appreciate all you do for us. You're a good friend. Kelly

Wow, Mary - love the new site - but please don't change the discussion lists too much. On top of the great contributors, it is so much better organized than other sites. Thank you. *~*~*~* Nancy*~*~*~* " I try to take one day at a time - but sometimes several days attack me at once."

| I really enjoy this site, too, and appreciate all of Mary's hard work to keep it up and running. I've learned so much from the discussion boards and I, like many others, would be lost without it! Thank you, Mary! |
