Welcome to Cute,RubyCasey, I am Toogie.I hope you will enjoy the site as much as we do. It is very informative. If you ever are in need of advice about 'how to', just ask, some Cutie (that is who we all are,and now you too) will point you in the right direction.The flowers by your name, is given by other Cuties to you when they look at your Projects, I am sure you will post for us to see,or when they agree with you on a subject in Community.There are also PMs which are Private messages, that you can ask a specific Cutie, that no one else can read and she/he will, in turn PM you back. You will learn as you visit, as I did, or you may already know. If you didn't know, I hope this makes you feel more comfortable, more at home here.Wishing you all the best, as you embroider and post here on Cute Embroidery-Toogie
