I’m glad your crafting is helping you Emma, and that you felt comfortable enough to share this today. The 365’rs on this thread are a fabulous group, very caring and thoughtful, so you are in a safe place.
I hope you enjoy your walk with OH and Elsie - she sounds awesome, and we are always up for gorgeous dog photos if you want to share some.
Your listing reminded me I need a plant pot holder for my daughter - she’s staying with me to recover after an operation and brought with her a plant that desperately needs re-potting. She also finds social interactions difficult, so I thought it very apt to buy one of your gorgeous pots for her. I went for the Surface on the Moon one - again apt as her bedroom is space themed with huge wall murals she and her Granddad painted when she was still at school. I will try and track down the photos we took before we filled the room with furniture!!
Bless you Emma, as someone with quite a bit of social anxiety i can see where you are coming from completely understand. i hope this thread helps you a bit to interact more as otherwise its very lonely world we live in isnt it. sending my love xx
Morning all,
Big hug to Emma @QuirkyOwlStudio, you certainly don’t come across as rude or uncaring on here, feel free to interact when you feel like it - or don’t if you don’t feel up to it. I hope you can enjoy your walk, and would love to see a photo of Elsie
Hope hubby is feeling better soon, Kim @KBCreations.
Ouch, Max @MaxPringJewellery - glad I don’t drive!
Hope you recover soon Hilary @kokoblue
Still on the Christmas listings…
Emma @QuirkyOwlStudio - everyone on the 365 thread is so lovely, try not to worry about offending anyone with what you say (I’m sure nothing you write will come across rude anyway) We are not easily upset on here If you get a bit naughty…we’ll just send you to the naughty step with Brenda!
I wish you well soon Hilary @kokoblue how frustrating for you not to be able to ‘get on’ with stuff.
It can be an exhausting battle with social anxiety Emma @QuirkyOwlStudio but be kind to yourself and every time you push against or step outside your own comfort zone is a victory. Count up those victories and keep on going X
Today’s offering is this boy in his beige jumper …
Brenda @teabreaks Thank you so much for your kind words and offer. it is because everyone is so kind and understanding on this thread that I felt safe to be honest about my struggles. I will definitely stay with this thread and will try my best to interact more with all the lovely humans here.
Emma @QuirkyOwlStudio, I’m quite touched that you felt able to open up to us all about how you’re feeling, it shows that you’re comfortable with us lot! Don’t ever feel under pressure to comment or engage with the chats if you’re not in the right place, we’re a very supportive bunch and understand. Have a lovely walk with your OH and Elsie (Koko says hi!) x
I hope your hubby feels better soon Kim @KBCreations
That was very lovely to read Emma @QuirkyOwlStudio , as others said already, please do as you feel and take it easy. We are here for you and we understand, weather you feel chatty and want to have a laugh, or you’re just in the mood. I hope you will enjoy your walk with your OH and Elsie, looking forward to hearing how it went x
Thank you so much for your kind words, I really feel very lucky to have found this thread with such a wonderful bunch of caring people. I really appreciate your order, I hope that your daughter likes it and that her recovery goes smoothly.
Congratulations on your first sale Kirsty @crystalseahorsedesigns - may it be the first of many!
I hope your husband feels better soon Kim @KBCreations
This thread is such a warm and lovely place to be Emma @QuirkyOwlStudio , I love that we can all feel free to chat or not depending on how we’re feeling and that there’s always someone to understand and help when it’s needed. I hope you enjoy your walk x
Hope you feel better soon Hilary @kokoblue , enjoy the Christmas movies - I hope there’s not a misunderstanding or someone trying to close down a family business just before Christmas
that made me smile Lorraine @LilacDaisy, the ones I’ve watched have included a prince in disguise, four old boyfriends visiting a women ( in her dreams) who has commitment issues, a new take on Scrooge where the ghost falls in love with the man they’re haunting…… to name a few, they all include hot chocolate and gingerbread regardless of the plot
That’s a shame that eBay treated you like that, Brenda @teabreaks - def sounds like too much hassle. I’ve bought from eBay a lot but haven’t ever got into the selling side, as I kept hearing stories about people saying they didn’t receive something or that it was defective when it wasn’t etc, and wondered if it was worth it.
Hope your husband feels better soon, Kim @KBCreations
Also hope you feel better soon, Hilary @kokoblue and don’t get too addicted to the xmas movies! I’ve seen a few! (I think you’ve been watching Channel 5 if I’m not mistaken!!)
Thanks for opening up to us Emma @QuirkyOwlStudio - it’s ok to feel anxious and just contribute when you feel like it. I hope you enjoy your dog walk and it’s the start of more to come.
Here is a picture of Elsie. Not been out for a walk with her yet as waiting for OH to finish her work meeting. Elsie isn’t a typical Ridgeback in most regards, but one thing she does share with the breed is her hate of the nasty acid that falls from the sky. She will refuse to go out in it, so hopefully the day stays dry or my walk will have to take a literal rain check.
Thank you for all the support and kind words. I really do feel blessed to be accepted and welcomed by you all. I originally posted about how hard I found it to interact socially due to being Neurodiverse not long after I originally joined the thread, but with many returning/new people joining since then and the fact that I had gone back to not interacting other than to post my items or do a Folksy Friday board, I didn’t want to be perceived as uncaring or rude.
I will do my best going forward to keep interacting with you all on the thread even though it is hard for me. I really don’t want to regress to the bad place I was in before I discovered the joy of crafting.
Sorry for missing yesterday. I have no excuse other than very dodgy time management.
Well done on your first sale, Kirsty @crystalseahorsedesigns The first of many I hope
Gorgeous pup, Emma @QuirkyOwlStudio I hope you feel better after your walk and having talked openly about how you fell. It always feels like a weight is lifted when you chat about things. We’re always willing to listen without judgment and some have often had similar feelings. Nothing beats the love of a good dog, tho. Elsie is a beautiful girl. Sending biggest hugs. XXX
Not long back from the hygienist. Not my favourite way to spent 1/2 an hour, but a necessary evil, I suppose.
If you get a bit naughty…we’ll just send you to the naughty step with Brenda!
that made me smile Lorraine
