Don't be scared, it's just me, Willow.
I know it's been years since my last post.
Life really slammed me hard when my Mom died. I gave up writing and lost my
funny. I just didn’t want to think so I read a lot and played online games way
too much.
Eventually I got tired of games (a very huge surprise) and after
being disappointed in 4 new books from 4 series I had been reading, I gave up
books, too (a huge but sad surprise).
So what did I replace them with? Thanks for wondering! It’s
embroidery! First I came across posts that linked to EGA while spending
(wasting) time at Pinterest. I’m really not happy with Pin anymore. I keep
setting it so videos don’t auto play but every time I come back to the site
there they are, slowing everything down and playing stuff I have NO interest
in. The site’s becoming crap.
Back to embroidery, BTW thanks for letting me have a small vent.
Have to admit I lost interest in EGA since the monthly projects have been cross
stitch and I’m SOOOOOOOOO over it like years ago when I was a kid. Now it’s a
site called www.pintangle.com that's got my interest. There’s a weekly post with new stitches every
Tue, though since it’s in Australia and I’m in the US east coast I get the post
on Monday afternoon. It’s been fun learning new stitches and using them on an
old crazy quilt I started when I belonged to the local quilt guild. I quit when
I found I couldn’t fit in.
I’m not much of a joiner or friend maker. Guess it’s
from having agoraphobia since I was a child. Plus the older I get the less
patience I have for people who aren’t nice to others. I am, even when I don’t
like someone. You know that ancient golden rule (bible) saying, “Treat Others Like You Want Others To
Treat You”. It was one of my Mom’s favs. She really should have had it
embroidered on something. So, anyway it’s kind of been the way I’ve always
lived. It’s like karma, if you’re shitty then that’s what gets thrown back at
you. I’m going to embroider some of these sayings, maybe I’ll share them
online. I did find some pandemic type embroideries. Have a look at:
www.heislerscreativestitchery. There’s a new one each month. If you’re religious
then try www.elefantz. I’m not so much but I like her freebies, plus I can
change the text ones. Another embroidery site I like is www.pinsandneedles.com.
I will admit I did find a new game called Lily’s Garden but only
play it on my phone. If you’ve read any of my past posts you know how much I
HATE phones but thanks to Mom I did get one. Though to be honest I mostly use
it to play the game.
That’s enough for a first post. I'm working on finding my funny again. Stay safe, avoid crowds (like
agoraphobics need to hear that),and WEAR a damn mask!
