Greener Pastures...

[MorelCabin]

I know this last couple of weeks has been hard on the board, and every place is going to have it's ups and it's downs...people coming...people going. And alot of our good friends have left for what they figure may be greener pastures... but you know what...

The ground here is ready to be retilled and the seeds are ready to be planted for new growth, new friendships, and a wonderful future for this SS community. And many of us are still here!

Love ya'll... ...and I, for one, am quite happy to be here, and I am NOT planning on leaving!

I'm staying! Life's too short for hate and discontent. I have said all along, there's still good people here! And more good people joining!

 

[PamsPride]

I am still here too...once in a while.

I know I haven't had much to post about in the last year, with the move to town, and then back to the country again This summer was full of house renos, not SS projects, but in the spring I will be up and at her again with pictures of what we are doing, gardens underway, and a new henhouse.
I am also in the middle of planning my own little bussiness out here...a little country quilt shop and fabri store. Most of the others here have closed down, but I figure if I run one from home, and expand as is grows, then it won't matter if i don't make ends meet for a while in this economy...because I will have no overhead really. My husband is giving me a 10x24 foot peice of his garage to start...and I can build out from there later if I want to.

For this winter I am just staying inside and sewing

Wow Morel a quilt shop good for you, Congratulations.

In regards to the other stuff..... I deleted my journal because it felt weird not having anyone I knew around to read it.
But its good to her you are doing well.

that's so exciting, congratulations! have you ever considered setting up an online store as well? that's what i do, i use etsy.com as my main storefront. that way i have no overhead, don't have to man a physical shop, and reach a much wider customer base. i wish you well with your business!

Greener pastures? Everywhere I went was just brown grass or mud :/

The quilt shop sounds interesting morel

A quilt shop sounds awesome I read alot, but rarely post. I missed whatever happened, but there are folks missing that I wish were still here.

Bout time, Morel! Imagine what you could teach...and sell! I'm sticking around too....been here too long to change now. It would help if we got back to basics and started to revive and refresh old topics that could prove relevant to the newer members and try to sticky a few, ya think? New sections to the forum would be a neat way to start fresh too...hint, hint!
