I agree with biddysews:
"The site may not have changed but the people are a little nicer and some seem to be more conscious on where they post" and this is a big change already.
Thank you, Meganne!
Hugs, Lidia
Strange situation when the moderators aren't kept informed of what is happening either.
I don't think your statement was negative ... Are we not allowed to make statements on anything posted on this site without being "picked on" ?
Patience Cuties: These things take time. At least Ms Veronika hasn't shut the site down to do all the changes, we are still going on daily. I am sure things are happening, but maybe just not ready to be put into place.
I am just happy we can all still visit and keep in touch.
Thank you Jerri. This is a HUGE website, with so much machine language required to create each individual page, trying to keep all the old content and links, in itself, is a major project, let alone trying to make improvements, it is good when SOME people understand what a huge undertaking this is, So on behalf of Miss Veronika, I thank you for your patience.
understand what a huge undertaking this is, So on behalf of Miss Veronika, I thank you for your patience. Hugs n love, Meganne
Something new 2 month later??? Maybe I'm too blond to see it ;o)
Greetings, Bettina
Yes Bettina, but I did explain that the moderators put forward a lot of new ideas to Miss Veronika and they all take a huge amount of time and research to create and implement. Patience Girlfriend. Hugs n love, Meg
Yes, I'm afraid nothing has changed yet and we are all still waiting, but the moderators have been putting their heads together with suggestions for improvements, to hopefully appease Cuties complaints, so perhaps Miss V is working on implementing some of these ideas.
If this is the case (and I am only assuming here) but I can almost guarantee Cuties will be even happier with the final outcome.
Hugs and roses to all, Meganne
thanks Meg-oh,BTW-I am looking at all the posts on your BD-I had it as today-Aug. 14th-right? HAPPY BIRTHDAY lol~linda~
Yes Linda, August 14th. I received some awesome wishes and I printed them all out to keep. When I am feeling blue, I read them and they restore my good spirits. Hugs n love, Meg
?????-so what has changed?????
Yes, I'll admit it makes the messenger look bad when things don't happen as announced, but don't you know?
"Life is what happens, while you are busy making other plans." In other words, not everything runs as smoothly as we THINK it will.
The site may not have changed but the people are a little nicer and some seem to be more concious on where they post and many have changed their acticity here. i for one have found better things to do and dont bother much with ineracting here or anywhere on the net.
thank you for the update meganne i have a fair idea of what is involved with implementing changes and i am looking forward to the end result...ladies have patience please....soozie
Sorry missed this when it was first on as I had left on our Cruise - congrats to you all and thanks to Miss V as always at work to keep you Cute Family with the best available...Hugs & *2all Good Luck Glenda x0x0x0
I wish you all luck. I love this site...
ALL FOR ONE, AND ONE FOR CUTIES. xxx
hugs Pam.
Sometimes I feel like riding a dead horse but what's about the announced changes? 4 weeks now and still nothing happens...
Greetings, Bettina
I saw this come up and thought something was actually happening. Wishful thinking
Wishful thinking (something I love to read from emblibrary)?
That's what I suspect also :o(
Better not make promises you cannot keep...
I was hoping to get some of the old features back! But nothing so far. Lately I have been having trouble with the flowers not always working.
ttt-are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? NO!!!! lol- this reminds me of the ride in the car when we were kids waiting to "be there"
Hasn't it been over 2 weeks? Did we already have changes and I just haven't noticed them? This is almost like being a kid at christmas time...the waiting and wondering what goodies are in store lol
~linda~
This is a great idea! I look forward to the changes.Perhaps this way there will be less problems. God bless you all you new moderators and thank you Miss Vicky for doing this for us.
Meri
Meganne are there some new informations about the announced changes?
Since more than 10 month we just hear >SOON< and nothing happens...
Greetings, Bettina
Sorry Bettina, we are none the wiser than all the other Cuties, it is all up to Miss V. :-))) Hugs n love, Meg
>in about a week, maybe two, there will be changes coming to CuteE<
Alright 4 more days to wait ;o)
Greetings, Bettina
=O) really curious to find out the changes- YOOHOO moderators are we almost there yet lol.
I for one as well as many others am so glad that CuteE is getting an update and more moderators. I had at one point did not want to come on here because of the drama caused by some. It was very distracting and very child-like. (Just my opinion) I am looking forward to a fresh beginning for all of us. Cannot wait to see the changes.
Thank you Meganne for the warning. I deeply appreciate the efforts of Ms. V and the 4 new moderators ! I want to personally thank each one of you.
I will be anxious for the New Cuties site!
Good luck and God's speed.
Loving hugs, Bonnie
I'm glad for the changes and happy to know that we have 4 wonderful ladies as moderators! We needed a change like this, so many bad things wouldn't have happened if we had this before. Congratulations, Jerrilyn, Marji, Martine and Meganne! Love and hugs, Yoriko
Thank you miss Veronika for this wonderful site and congrats to all the new moderators.
Meganne-your patriotic Betty Boop is so cute! ~linda~
She is cute isn't she, worse luck I couldn't upload the animated one, she sparkles. :-)
Sometimes change is a good thng and thanks to those who are lending a hand. I'm sort of new to this site and I appreciate everything that I am learning.
Thanks to all you "Cuties".
♥♥♥ Thank you for the information Meganne and CONGRATULATION to the moderators !!! ♥♥♥
Congratulations to - Jerrilyn, Cute ID (jrob);
Marji, Cute ID (marjialexa);
Martine, Cute ID (mops); and
Meg Anne, Cute ID (meganne)
Can't wait to see the changers.
Hugs Yvonne
I, too, read every post. Thank you for wishing us well. I hope to be able to contribute to this site. Hugs for all of you.
You will do great along with the other gals, no doubt about it Martine-
Congratulations and thank you for being such a great contributor to this site-your wisdom and designs are endless!! ~linda~
WOW! Vacation week 1 down-2 more to go! Been away for the past week-I even left the laptop behind-won't do that again-looks like it's been busy here-lots of news & new gorgeous projects posted. First off-I would like to say-Congrats to Jerrilyn, Marji, Martine & Meg Anne(I alway thought your name was all one name Meg) I am sure you 4 ladies will do a great job at moderating-I like the diversity of locations. Secondly-can't wait to see what changes we will be seeing in the next few weeks. I just noticed I am about up for renewal soon-so I better get on the stick so I can continue the full benefits of the site ~linda~
Linda love your little-feet :o)
Yes I'm also waiting for the changes. Megann wrote about 1or2 weeks. Will keep an eye on that...
Greetings, Bettina
I have read each response and for all of you who wish us well and will support our efforts, I thank you with all of my heart. Let's remember the caterpillar and the struggle to grow strong and beautiful as he tries to escape the cocoon. It takes time, patience, and strength to become that beautiful butterfly. I suspect that we will also feel that struggle on Cute, but the end results are well worth it. Hugs to you all and as Dilceia says, "a kiss to your heart." I just love that sentiment! ;)
Oh! my dear... thank you! I twist for you! Is going to give everything right.
a kiss to your heart!
I'll always be by your side, because you, Jerrilyn, Martini and Marji friends are "SPECIAL and very loved."
Have a nice day!
kisses
Thanks to those who volunteer to do what is often a thankless task. There are those of us who really do appreciate you and offer you our thanks.
Please ignore those who do not agree - maybe they should find another place to vent.
I am so grateful to be a part of this group - THANK YOU for all your help and camaraderie.
hugs
mislyn
This will be a thankless job for the 4 moderators. I am very greatful for this site and have learned much about ME. Miss V has provided a wonderful site for posting free original designs, Q&A pages for newbies and I for one, am very glad there will be moderators. Thank you all so very much. Debbie
Thank you mods for giving of your time.
I find it rather odd for years here there was no trouble to speak of, seems it only recently began. The ladies who have been chosen for moderators have been here a long time. So think about it!
If you gauge how long I have been here by the amount of my flowers you would probably be wrong. I have been here many years, just watching and learning from everyone. Only recently started contributing.
Good Luck Miss V and the team. I am very excited to see the new changes. I have this saying " You can please some of the people some of the time but you will never please all of the people all of the time". Hugs Marg
I've read each & every post, and given you all a flower, thank you so much for your support! Hopefully a change of names for the tabs will be something that's possible, because I agree that would make it much clearer where things should go. Please, please don't feel "chastised" or "picked on" if we suggest your post belongs in a different section. Until there are rules posted in a place everyone can get at them without searching, hopefully we're just gently steering you in the right direction. Since I don't think any of us are psychic, you can't know unless you're told something, right? Please understand it's just "steering the boat", ok, not coming down on anyone with both feet. That's never the intent. We hope to be fair & effective, and be able to have a fun community again, as well as give immediate help to those with embroidery and sewing questions. After all, embroidery help was the original reason for setting up this community in the first place, years ago. It just expanded from there. Our hope is to make everything helpful, harmonious and fun again, thanks for your votes of support in this endeavour. Mighty big hugs to all, Marji
Thank you for your kindness, your generosity, and your willingness to be just and level headed. I hope all will follow your lead. I have hope that the community I have loved since 2008 will return to kindness.
good luck to these brave members. seems like everytime the pot gets stirred these are the ones that try to calm it anyway. i've seen these bad times come & go here several times. i often wonder if it is the same people doing this over & over and using a different name because if is usually the same old crap.
Looking forward to the changes. Thank you to the appointed moderators for hard work that lies ahead. I think we underestimate the hard work that goes into moderating. Can not click on a flower for each of you but here it is ****. I also appreciate the efforts of Mrs V to always improve the site - you are great :}
This is great news. It will be nice to get our ole site back where everyone seemed to get along with each other. Congratulations to the four moderators, what a good choice.
This is from Embroitique, but it is appropriate!!!!
Sounds like a wonderful idea, although I don't envy the four of you at all. Good luck on moderating the new format. Hopefully we can all start acting like the adults we're supposed to be and not like a bunch of snotty nosed kids again.
Thanks so much Karen and don't worry, I am great with snotty nosed kids, I always have a large box of tissues handy and an extra tweak on the nose if they're nasty about it. :-) LOL!!! Love ya, Sis
Wonderful news, I can't wait to see the changes. I know the moderators will do a wonderful job. They are all long-time members who have been very helpful and generous to all of us.
Thank you Meg for this announcement I am so happy Miss V has chosen the 4 moderators. I am sure you will do a wonderful job. I don't come here as often as I used to but will make the effort as I have met some very good friens through this site ...Hugs Ra
Id like to expand on the suggestions of hightechgrammy: Would it be possible to possibly rename the tabs and/or add more tabs so that it is clear where to post things? For example, embroidery on topic, humor, random, etc. Community means many different things to different people. I know that the rules will be posted, but lets make it as simple and easy as possible. No one wants to offend or be chastized. But every one of us has hurt someone's feelings in the past--maybe not here, but somewhere. Let's give each other a break and start fresh.
Parkermom, I, for one, agree wholeheartedly but these are suggestions that would be best made to Miss Veronika herself as it is her site and we will only be doing her bidding. Why don't you start a new post, calling for suggestions and I will direct Miss V to it so she can see what members are hoping for. Hugs n roses, Meganne
Congrats ! ! ! to the four new moderators...and to Miss V for a WONDERFUL website !
Hugs
Linda
Congrats to Meganne, Marji,Martine,Jerrily. I know you will do a great job, but it may be tough at times.
Congrats, ladies.
Veronika could not have picked a better, or more intelligent, bunch of ladies to be moderators of her site.
It was long overdue.
Thank you miss Veronika for this wonderful site and congrats to all the new moderators.
LOve n Hug Brenz
Thanks! I appreciate this so much:>) Thank you moderators also:>) Hugs to all and God Bless!
I'm glad to see this. Love this site. It's so easy to use and for the most part everyone is very helpful. I enjoy the jokes too. Keep up the good work.
Well this is excellent ,i find these lovely ladies over the years that i have been here ,have been helpful,caring ,fair,and i like the no bulling thoughts hugs Carolyn
Congratulations to all the new moderators and Miss Veronica.
Hugs and blessings, Rachel
wow that will make it more enjoyable to tune in and not want to avoid this site because of what we don't want to read. I am all for this... thanks to all who will use their time to make this an even more wonderful site to belong to. My love to all the new moderators and of course Miss V.
Looking forward with happy anticipation to the new-look Cute Website. Miss Veronica's Cute Embroidery ... Veronica's Vision, I call it ... has something very special going on here and I have a lot of fun keeping up with the changes - not to mention the beautiful designs so generously offered.
AlmaG.
I am so proud that 4 of my best friends have offered to to under take such a big and committed job. Blessings to each of you!!!
This should ensure smooth running of these pages. Great news. Shirley
Congratulations!! Miss Veronika, for running our ship so steadfast. Also I wish to congratulate and wish the new moderators good luck, wisdom and patience in their new capacity. May this site run smoothly and happily as before. Good Luck to you all, and thank you for the hard work.*****
Pretty FREAKIN' sad that one of the main troublemakers is now going to be a moderator. What a waste of Veronica's time. Not that moderators aren't needed, they are, but to assign Meganne any responsibility is such a huge mistake. She is always the one starting crap, with all the members who don't bow down and kissed her special feet. She thinks because she has been here running her mouth for so long and so loudly, that she gets to bully everyone else. I hope someone comes to their senses and rethinks this decision. If not, I'm sure the numbers of members will continue to decline.
I can tell you who the troublemakers are and I can also tell you that Megs IS NOT one of them.
She is a fair dinkum straight shooter!
This is why I'm not so sure about this, straight shootin isn't always needed. Jan
The day, ANY or you (auntie, sandyqueer & janetedna), have the compassion & intelligence to talk straight to friends & enemies alike, is the day I will be hurt by your words. Today is NOT that day, so mind yourselves!
Jealousy is a terrible thing.
Actally, you are right about Megannes feet. They are special. They carry a load full of compassion and understanding, with the strength and fortitude.
hugs Helen
I agree with you Helen and know for a fact that Meg only speaks from the heart. She is one of the most honest, reliable and giving women I know and I'm glad to call her my friend. Love Chris
Jeez 'auntie' that's a tad vindictive!!! I think Meganne would make a very fair moderator and after your vindictive remarks it is obvious that moderators are needed.
Amen, Terri, that's why we're here, to try and prevent this kind of thing. You just can't please everyone, but we hope the majority of adult sewists will be pleased. Hugs, Marji
Congratulations! I am so glad that I didn't miss this post.It sounds wonderful!
Hugs, Nadyne
Great news, thank you Ms. Veronika..I know this takes time but I am sure it will take care of all the unnecessary posts and hopefully bring back people that have left due to this subject matter...Good Luck!
Best wishes for the success of this new plan. Congrats and condolences to the new moderators.
thanks for the info ! we will be patient waiting for the update ! - maybe you can even forseen a window there these announcement can be set, and not in a posting which dissapears of the 1st page after some time- Greetings Linda
I agree. This would be nice. It might also be helpful to establish the rules in writing and post her so that everyone could see when they come on the site.
This is what we all hope for. Rules to follow give everyone an even playing field so there is no discrimination and less chance of hurt feelings. Hugs n love, Meganne
This will be great, we need the peace and harmony back here. Thank you Miss V
I almost missed this......"Change" can be a beautiful thing!! Congrats to all gals!! Whoo hoo to the zero tolerance on bullies!! We can have a happy home again!! Vicki
Congrtulations to all 4. Hope things work out the way you want & good for the community. Hugs & luck to all. Arlene
I don't know whether to congratulate you or send you my sympathy! What you have volunteered for is a time consuming and sometimes tough job, but once you get going I'm sure things will run smoothly. Every group needs and appreciates our organizers even though I don't thank them often enough. As I'm pretty new to this group, I look forward to getting what confuses me unconfused! Thanks for taking it on!
Good idea, Congratulations to you, Jerrilyn, Marji and Martine as our moderators.
This is a Great idea. Congratulations to all 4. We need to keep this site fun. Hugs *
Thank you Meganne and thank you Miss Veronica for all your hard work and dedication to making this site the best ever. Miss V you have a great site and whatever changes you deem fit will be what works the best for all.
Congratulations to the FOUR
Wonderful idea and I am sure all will go well! Congrats to the 4 of you and Miss V! Hugs & Peace, Judy
My apologies that I can not respond to everyone individually, but it is well after midnight here and Ray has just arrived home from work, so it is time for sleep. Oh Heavenly delight electric blanket and soft feather-down doona, here I come. It has been a long and happy day.
Good night one and all. Hugs and roses, Meganne
Sweet dreams, Meganne. I'm just getting up and active and It
s 9:45 am in Colorado. Jan
Such a great idea!!!
May I please make one suggestion? Maybe there could be an tab called something like "Lighthearted" When we read the postings in Private, those are usually pretty heavy duty, heart-felt, prayer request kind of things. Jokes, are fun, but they just don't "fit" in personal. Then community could be for mostly embroidery/sewing related topics. I hope Ms Veronika will consider something like this. Hugs, Jan
don't "fit" in personal. Then community could be for mostly embroidery/sewing related topics. I hope Ms Veronika will consider something like this. Hugs and thanks, Jan
Oops, I meant in Personal, not Private. My old brain is acting up again!
It might be a good idea to make the Personal tab for members only and not a open forum page. So many cuties post way too much info in there including their vacation schedules and full names as well as addresses.
This sounds like some nice changes. Congratulations to the moderators.
Congratulations to the four of you. and maybe condolences also LOL. You are going to be busy!. I've always said and will continue to that there is no other like Cute E or Veronika and the 4 of you fit right into that catagory also my old friends. Much love to you all/Lillian
Thanks Lillian, we will do our very best to keep Cute the best and nicest place to be on the net. hugs and love, Meganne
Wonderful! Discord departs and long live the Harmony of old. Congratulations to Miss V and our capable new moderators for this brave new undertaking. It's a real pleasure to be a Cutie.
Wonderful Meganne and some may call me misserable, but I pray there will be a section of just embroidery related questions.The personal tab is wonderful too and I have personally asked for prayers by fellow cuties, who did not let me down.
that has meant a lot to me and I pray it will be the happy place again it once was.
well done & congrats to the "fab four" thanks for the dedication! Hugs Loralye
Every group I have belonged to has at least one moderator and what Meganne mentioned as insults etc is called flaming! No Flaming allowed-period or elimination from the group. Every group in society needs rules to keep things running harmoniously.
I think the moderators and Mrs V should get together and set up a basic code of violations as preemptive rather than reactive after the fact as a good baseline.
Glad to hear.
Thanks for your input, we are all aware of the internet slang terminology and all aspects of management are under control of four VERY experienced ladies and one very determined owner, so rest assured the future of Cute embroidery is in good hands. Hugs n roses, Meganne
Sure hope getting our tabs working again will be one of the changes! Also will be great to have zero tolerance for the trouble makers! Thank you Miss Veronika for trying to sort things out!
This is wonderful news, looking forward to the old ways coming back. God Bless the foursome. And Miss V.
Wonderful news. There are a few people that I have missed that used to post alot. Maybe they will come back.
Cool! I look forward to this change, and congrats to you all of you! I think we will have a vital group with fantastic information to share! Thank you Ms. Veronika!
I have been here for a long time and there is no excuse to not getting along. I appreciate and hope that this will bring us back to where we were before - just a bunch of friends who love to stitch and appreciate Miss Veronika giving us this home. Thanks for your help! Hugs to you all, Laura*
This all sounds exciting and well thought out. It would certainly improve the atmosphere if argumentative posts were to be removed quickly.
Sorry Miss V has to come to this, but what a great group to be moderators!!! Can't wait to see what is in store for us with the changes. Thanks for keeping us posted and up to date.
Thank goodness! I was just about to jump ship. I came here to learn not read petty arguments.
Congrats, and heres for a nice happy family, playing nicely and helping one another as we should.
hugs Helen
CONGRATS ladies...FIESTA ;D Indeed (BLESSED are the PEACEMAKERS. - Matthew 5:9) *2U
Congrats, and heres for a nice happy family, playing nicely and helping one another as we should.

Good news for all of us. I like the name "The Fab Four".well done to you for helping. hope we can vote an easy way for our site too.
Hugs Pam.
Thank you Meganne for letting us know. I cannot think of four better people to be moderators - congratulations to the Fab Four. Looking forward to seeing what Ms Veronika has in store for us. Hope it is some of the old things that we have missed so much. Hugs Sarah.
great news, it will be nice to have harmony again.
hugs
Michelle
Thanks for letting us know about the changes. Often wondered why the site didn't have moderators.
Thank goodness. I miss some of the cuties. Good luck Thanks to Veronica for this site
This is GREAT NEWS! Thanks so much Miss V, greatly appreciated!
Christie in Germany
First and foemost a BIG thankyou to Miss V for her continued generosity in providing this site for us all to enjoy.
I agree it is time for moderators. I think in many ways this site has done well to have ticked along without moderators for so long. There has been the odd incident in the past, but just recently I have not liked a small amount of what I have seen and have even considered not visiting. It seems in life generally that a few can spoil something for the majority. I hope I have not offended any one with my comments they are directed at no one in particular just a general observation of how I have come to feel. I may add I joined this site just a few weeks after it was created (in 2005 I think?)and look forward to enjoying being here again.
Thanks, we're hoping to see the return of many of the "oldies" (don't take that the wrong way, hee hee hee) because they had so much to offer, so much experience, and have gone silent as you did. Hugs, Marji
Thank you to Miss veronika, and to those new moderators, long life to our beloved site CuteE
Hugs Claude
congrats and bravo to Miss Veronica. I have been here a few years and am so sorry to see the sniping that has happened. Now maybe we can get back to fun chatter of all sorts. Hints, tips, tricks, yahoos, boohoos and 'atta girls'. And lets not forget looky looky!
WOW !!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, Miss Veronika and congratulations to the four Moderators.
Great, brilliant solution, love it.
Hugs to you all,
Lidia
Good idea! Congratulation to the new moderators :o)
Does this mean we really have a chance to get back some of our old tools? Wow this would be a eagerly awaited baby (after 9 month ;-).
Greetings, Bettina
Wow - how very exciting... can't wait to see what's in store.
And a big CONGRATULATIONS to our moderating team.
hugs kitty
Thanks, besides good experience and hopefully cooler heads, we even have an assortment of time zones! Miss V thought it out pretty well, I think. Hugs, M
How wonderful! I love the idea of moderators. Ms. Veronika made a wonderful choice on assigning these four for that job. Thank you Ms. Veronika and thank you and congratulations to those who will do the moderating. I am looking forward to the new changes. Hugs, Mary
Brilliant news and what a great choice of moderators. I am off to do a happy dance on this
Yayyyy!!!! I have not been spending that much time here of late because of the disharmony. Maybe this will improve things. Does this mean that comments and questions cannot be posted instantly - they have to first pass by moderators? Sometimes I ask a question about embroidery and have an answer within minutes. Will this not happen any more?
Miss V is keeping the new format to herself just now, so even we 4 do not know how the new site will work.
I am not anticipating that posts will be moderated before posting, more likely that troublesome posts will be quickly removed. We will all know soon. :-)
Thanks for the info. I look forward to the "new and Improved" Cute (I sure hope the edit button returns, LOL) Congratulations to you all on you appointments. Hugs and *'s, Deb
Let me be the first to congratulate you all. Love and blessings Chris
We are all so lucky to have a person like Ms Veronika to enable us to follow our hobby of machine embroidery and sewing. Life would be so empty without a daily visit to Cute. Congratulations to the moderators and hopefully you will have little to do. Best wishes to all for the future. LOL Jillian
