I miss everyone, only see a few sellers from the old forums.
Never wanted to join a team, no offense to anyone in Teams, just not a great social butterfly,
liked to just drop in from time to time in a disscusion ( need spell check LOL) or chat that interested me.
Thank you for letting me join here, maybe more of the old gang will find their way here.
I'm seeing lots of people I never saw before. That's lovely, so that's one plus for the new style. Pity there are so many negative ones.
Still we soldier on, and we don't give up. I love the way so many of us have come together, and keep trying. We may complain, but never without a reason. Whether you like something or not you always seem to find others on here who feel the same.
The community may have been fractured, but the Etsy sellers/buyers spirit carries on. And that is what keeps sites like this a success.
@Teddyrose54 What is there not to like? I am seeing a few familiar faces, some are new, but isn't that the true meaning of "community"...coming together for the same reasons and helping each other along....a place to share, laugh, cry, rant, tell the good stories and offer virtual hugs? This is a good thing.
@ngeorgiou That hits the nail on the head. I think we are still a community :)
Mrs. Nina,
I'm glad to see you did come back! When you said on the old forums you might not come back to the new forums, I was afraid I wouldn't see anymore adorable pictures of Moses :) (They should have put emoji face icons as an option on the new forums.)
@Teddyrose54 Without any apology.....I always see the glass more than half full in all things and when people are mean, I think, they are having a bad day and I will control the kind of day I have. I once had someone here tell me not to wish them a great day, because they were fine....guess what? I am still wishing that everyone finds joy somewhere and something to make their day great....I am alost cause I guess, but I am here.
Well I'm back to work, trying to finish up a scarf to hopefully get listed today, have to finish putting on the fringe, I don't like that part LOL
so I'm procrastinating (sp) I sure miss the spell check, I know that's spelled wrong : (
See you all later on : )
Hi MsRaine!
Old Chit Chat hanger-outer, right here, lol! I'm glad we have this place. Nice to see familiar faces (avatars). 👋
Hi Breeze, glad to see you, thank you for steering me here : )
I was more of a lurker in the forums previously. But with the transition, I'm definitely feeling the push to talk more. You might not recognize me, but I've been a community member and shop owner for years. It's nice to 'meet' you! Welcome to the team!
Hi Philo, nice to meet you, sometimes I lurk, sometimes I talk, sometimes I just listen : )
I was new to old forums. Mostly a "reader" or lurker as you say. Was just getting the hang of old forum. Then the change. Can't find any info anymore. So here I am. You all seem like lovely people.
I have no idea if I'd qualify. I mainly lurked but did post a lot as well- not near as much as a lot of people.
I write (main income) and have been running on some tight deadlines with writing, plus sick, working from home with 2 kids (so basically doing the stay at home and working gigs together, with minimal help since my husband works a lot)
I don't have much time anymore to just chat. I do pop in occasionally.
Hi New Age, no qualifing here needed, so welcome, nice to meet you : )
And I hope you feel better real soon!
hello.... I like this thread, if there isn't a proper ChitChat, then start one.... and the part about 'old' chit chatters.. I'm 61 is that old enough? :)
Hi maidmarion nice to meet you, I didn't mean old as in age, I meant people I use to chat with in the old forums,
but 61 is great, I got you beat by a couple years, I'm 65 LOL
Everyone here is very nice, pull up a chair and stay awhile : )
Well it's still freezing here and the local shop had a yarn sale. Guess what I'll be doing for most of the day? Any excuse to get out the needles and relax.😀
A yarn sale! 😍
A yarn sale that's what I need, I just started making neck scarves, don't know if I will sell any.
Hit a sale myself last week on yarn, when I went to get some more. It's very relaxing to crochet, only time I just sit still for a while.
Do you knit or crochet Teddyrose?
I posted there some, lurked a lot more lol.
Hi Abbyoaks , nice to see you!
post, lurk, all you want here LOL
well Carolinagirl, we'll all be there, what time is the super bowl and chicken wings,
sounds delious (sp, again) LOL
Sounds delicious. Can I come over? LOL.
Hubs purchased some steak and black bean chili from Whole Foods (we have one within walking distance of us) and are going to consume topped with some 5-year aged cheddar, Saltines on the side. No cooking but tasty.
sounds good psych62, we'll hit your place after carolina girl's. Sounds like good eating today : )
wanted to say Hello and welcome to twirlydelights and healing stone, were glad you stopped by,
feel free to post and chat, sorry your welcome isn't under your post, there was no reply button under your post.
hope you find this welcome in all this confusion. : )
