Oh for Heaven's sake, SHE chose to stop posting links, nobody forced her to make that decision.
How can people be so selfish as to want to put Miss Veronika's livelihood at risk over a few lousy freebies.
Shame on all of you.
Meganne, Maybe things are different where you live, but here in the US, many women like our dear Sewmom, are extra loving and very sensitive. They go through their lives being very kind to others, very helpful, and always live their lives being exceptionally kind to others. They never speak a harsh word to anyone. For people like Sewmom, and so many other ladies on Cuties, it is crushing to us, to even think that in some small way we could have hurt or offended someone. We try to live our lives so we never hurt anyone. We rescue lost kittens. We carry spiders outside rather than smash them. We say hi to strangers who look like they need a smile. We have soft shells. Our intentions are totally pure. People like Sewmom and so many other Cuties have inner strengths that pull us through incredibly hard times, we are made of steel for the really big challenges of life, but it is the little things that hurt us. We would never use words like "selfish" or "shame" or "pity" when referencing a friend. Maybe it is a cultural thing. But here in the USA, those words spoken to a friend are more like a knife stuck into the heart and twisted. We all love Sewmom, as we have loved and prayed for you. We want to hug her, and comfort her, as she has truly had her feelings hurt. I hope you can understand this.
Thank you Jan for stating it so well. I have rarely even looked at the "Freebies" section and yet I do know that Sewmom has spent countless hours serving her fellow Cuties. She has always been there to direct lost newbies as well as some of the others whenever they needed help. She deserves our gratitude for the many years of SELFLESS service she has provided to all. While I didn't availed myself of her services in the Freebies section, I am nonetheless very grateful for all she has done for so many others. I hope she will feel the love of Cuties and know that we know she would never knowingly put this site or Ms. Veronika at risk.
Meganne, I'm very surprised by your attitude. Yes, she voluntarily quit making up freebie lists. BUT- it was because of the confusion in the rules about posting links to sites that reqire memberships AND she wanted to make sure she didn't step on Veronica's toes and cause a problem. You may not see the issue here but we do.Sewmom spent a ton of her own time trying to help us save time in looking for free designs. Her intentions were as pure as ours are to comfort her. You used to be more open to others feelings and that is what surprised me here. Most of the Cute family is sincere and have good hearts and we try to look out for each other. Please try to keep an open mind and look at this from all sides. Thank you, Meri
Thank you, I think you said it all. Its about friendship, not all about the freebies.
I have sent her a PM but I am not sure if she can handle dozens of us sending her a PM at the same time.
I am a bit devastated right now and do not knoiw what happened as I have been away. My computer is being repaired too and am on a small temporary one with no links and came looking for sewmums list to help me along. A sad sad day. for me. sewmum deserves A HUGE BOUQUET OF FLOWERS. Thank you sewmum. Hugs Edith
Send her a PM with your regular email address. Ask her to send you an email to that address so you can get her info. I have no idea how to do that on a grand scale and make it safe for all Cuties.
