I've just realised that it is now two years since I first stumbled across this site, just after I bought my embroidery machine. At the time, I had no idea of the potential of this new (to me) world. Thanks to you all, who have offered advice, inspiration and companionship and may we continue to share for many years to come!

Cute has been a God send to all of us. Look at all the friend we have made and all tech tips we have received. I am grateful for all your support. Kay

Congratulations!
I am new, but I like very from this daily encounter.

2 years for me too and everyone has been so kind and helpful and loving to me. I too had just gotten my embroidery machine and didn't know a thing about it till I stumbled onto this site and found a new home!

This is an amazing world of embroidery!!!

Sue, congratulations on your anniversary - none of us came here by chance - in my humble opionion - we are drawn here - I am thrilled that you became part of the CUTE family and so happy you have organized the Secret Santa (SS) project. You too have given many advice, inspiration and companionship and we are grateful to you for that, as well.

How time flies when your having fun ...mind you in the two years you have certainly been a very busy lady and gotten yourself very involved with the Cute Family - we all appreciate you Sue and so very glad that you joined us...Hugs Glenda x0x0x

Same to me. When my mother-in-law asked me if I wanted her sewingmachine, I said "yes, it is always usefull if I can fix a zipper or so".. the "or so" turned out to be a whole new world. It is not only the machine I need to learn; I need to learn about design, threads, needles, fabric, I see on these side lots of great ideas which I want to try also, I have nice people here who help me....
What a world !!!! Love it !

Hi Sue, I'm like you - I just stumbled onto Cuties too! My husband can't quite understand how I can call internet friends "friends" when we have never actually met. He just doesn't get it. But we do have a bond, and a sharing of ideas and songs and designs and hearts. I'm so glad we found each other! You enrich my life, dear friend! Hugs, Jan

yep.. my husband is regullary asking with whom I'm always "chating"...

Sue, Thank you for the SS and Christmas in July project. You've contributed so much with all you do.
I feel as if I know everyone whom I read about here personally. I was overwhelmed when I became ill and received cards from so many concerned about me even though we had never met.Thanks to all that add so much to our lives.I look forward everyday to reading the news here.Stella

I too stumbled across this site, Sue. What a lovely group of ladies. We have laughed together and cried together. I would like to thank you for all you do in making our friendships so special - by organising the Secret Santas. Take a bow, and again - THANK YOU!

Time passes quickly when you are enjoying yourself. Most of us found Cute while wandering round the internet trying to expand our knowledge of machine embroidery. Thanks for your huge efforts in SS and all things related, plus the great ideas gained from the lovely work you have created. First with your original machine and now the new one. Wishing you many happy years embroidering Sue and for me PSHE is back next week for all the morning

I've been doing PSHE teacher training today.

by zoefzoef 18 Nov 2011

what is PSHE training ?

by spendlove 19 Nov 2011

PSHE is short for Personal Social and Health Education. I train teachers to be better at it (I hope!)

Thank you for your contribution and help to make this site just great, its easy to download and go.I feel it is like having a coffee morrning at home and a little imput if you have anything to say is lovely. I found Cuties nearly a year ago. I intend to have a go at digitizing this winter.I just love looking through all the chit chat in community and you can find so much fantastic advice from other cuties.

Isn't it the best? I, too, stumbled on and feel as you do and so glad you are here too.

Congratulations Sue - we love to see you on here as often as you can. Thanks for all the things you do on here. Love and blessings Chris

Well done Sue - I think I have been with Cute for about 18 months. I also 'stumbled' upon the site as you so aptly put it. Thank you for helping me with EFP. Sarah.

You didn't actually stumble on here Sarah - you were meant to be here! Love and blessings Chris

You've come a long way since the novice stage, offering advice, creating lovely projects to inspire us, setting up the Secret Santa etc scheme. I am so glad you found the site!! And I can hardly believe it's only two years.

Yipppppie, congarts!
