I'm in a nest

[TAB]

Well either they say through you @CheerBear or .. does sound a bit familiar re trying to be offhand/loose .. can work in job interviews have found tho .. if it feels right, do it. Yes quals beat no quals .. just do something you like if you do.

Good morning in the nest ☺

Nice to see you come by @TAB - thanks 😊. I do like the idea of doing something I like and that feels right. Part of the problem is finding somewhere I could do that though I think! The qualification I'd have (that I am so close to holding) is very generic and that is a big plus.

@Former-Member - thank you for coming by and for your snuggle pillows and hugs ❤ What you said about things being for the best sometimes even though we wish they were different, is so true with this for me in so many ways.

I'm picking up in bits and pieces, how much you've experienced throughout your life. I wish life and living were different sometimes too. I find it hard and painful to think that certain parts of my identity have been shaped by some of the things I have been through, though I understand that it's inevitable that life will play a substantial role in who we are. I can only see you from here SunShower, but from where I can see you, I really appreciate the you you are.

And on that note (and I have been trying to find a right-enough moment to properly write this), I really wanted to say a huge thank you for your company over the last little while in a crafty corner of the forum. I have had a few moments recently where I have questioned 'what am I going to do' and I found the answer over there. I say that not wanting to put any pressure on you to play craft with me ever (because no-one needs craft to turn into a chore!) but more to say how incredibly thankful I am that you have and how much it has meant to me. Perhaps without even knowing, you've been a gentle voice of encouragement to just keep on keeping on. Forumland is lucky to have you and I hope you find it helpful for you to be here also 💛

I am going to clean my room today and part of that is trying to organise my yarn stash which is decorating it at the moment 😉 I hear ziplock bags are the way to go - clever and thanks! I also want to settle on a project over the next couple of days that will help me next week when I am in my pjs. I'm thinking I'll be heading over to that corner at some stage soon to ponder that. Might catch you over there (though I totally understand there's more to life than that too). Hugs to you too 🤗

Hope there's something about the day that feels right for anyone catching this ☺

Good morning @CheerBear and others. Thank you for your lovely kind words CheerBear, I appreciate you saying so very much. Sometimes I wonder if it's worth the effort to reach out to others either for my own or for their benefit, but where craft is concerned, it's such a love of mine to share knowledge and the joy of what craft can do for one's well being that it's not a chore.

To be honest, without that crafty corner over there, I might not have continued coming back to visit the forum, so thanks must also go to you for the creation of that cosy, welcoming little place.  

There are so many ways that people can be of help, (and just as many ways they can be of hindrance too), without even knowing, and often intending, where their influence has reached. 

I hope you manage to get everything you want sorted so you will not be frustrated by your pj time. If I can help in any way, information, distraction, whingeing, just tag me! I'll help however I can.

I was stuck in hospital unexpectedly one time with an infection, had nothing, nothing to amuse me. The nurses found some string and a couple of wire coathangers and I macrame covered them to keep sane! Soon they brought me other stuff just to see what I would do with it. we had fun and I eventually recovered.

Sounds good @CheerBear 😊

@CheerBear just popping in to let you know I'm here and thinking of you. 

Stuff happened today that has unravelled me somewhat, had to resort to big bomb medication, might not be around for a couple of days, if you want/ need me for anything, please tag me. 

Look after you, I'll be looking after me, leaking everywhere but still, that's a sunshower for you! 

[CheerBear]

Hey @Former-Member. Thank you for popping in. I'm sorry that stuff happened that has unravelled you today. As you said over there (I think) ➡️ it seems to be going around today 😞

I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to reply properly to you. I have half written replies in my draft email box but am feeling a bit knocked about myself now too. I'm glad you'll be looking after you. I'll be doing the best I can at that also.

Take care and will look forward to seeing you when we do ❤

[Former-Member]

@CheerBear - I found one of these in Kmart today.

Made me think of you.

[CheerBear]

Even before I see it it's given me a smile @Former-Member. Thank you 😊

It's great to see you. I hope you're going ok/okish/well 🐊

[Former-Member]

Dropping by quickly to say a heartfelt 'Hi' to everyone in the nest. 

 @CheerBear @Former-Member @TAB @Teej @Phoenix_Rising 

Hope all is moving along nicely for the nesters. 

I'm up, still numb and not fully functioning, but doing okayish. Have a couple of tasks to keep me busy. Bought some passionfruit to make Passionfruit Butter from, so preparing for future keep-me-occupied-with-stuff-I-like-tasks. I'll strain the seeds from the passionfruit, cannot stand passionfruit seeds in anything. 

*waves to everyone* good wishes all.
