Tallulah you have a Tree-Mail...

@blakelyatstillwood - at the bottom of the page is a link for the newsletter. It will take you to the page to subscribe to it.

@echoes thank you for pointing that out. I should have noticed that!

In the past i quilt, embroider, knit, crochet and sew. I am not motivated to do any of if it now. It doesn't keep my attention like gardening, yardwork, woodworking, and home maintenance. Give me a tool belt and a spade over knitting needles or fabric. I can cook too, but i guess I'm burned out on it as i dint enjoy cook7ng as much as i do eating.

Thank you - now it seems so obvious. I went to the bottom to click on Contact and never saw over to the side the link to Newsletter . Maybe I need to put on my glasses. Thanks again.

You and me both..

In the winter, there's no gardening for me, in Canada so, I quilt, knit and embroider. Don't know how to crochet (and frankly, there's enough to do without adding another craft, but I have taken up colouring in my new adult colouring books!!!). I taught my DH how to knit and he made a blanket for his grandson!!

I can relate to this, Cheryl... I used to do a lot of the same things as you mentioned, and since we do have a rather long winter here it seems like I would have plenty of non-gardening time for them; but once the holidays are over I only have a couple of months before I begin starting seeds, and need to use that little break for doing my "spring cleaning," since once gardening gets going the housework pretty much goes by the wayside, other than a few critical things. And, of course, I also have to get my garden planned and seeds ordered and such... and then if you throw in a seed swap somewhere along the line

I'm looking forward to having my own home again , THEN I can plant in my own garden. Until then, I craft.......

Everyone is welcome to come , visit, and participate in our threads. Many of them mirror your established system. Actually many of your forums and threads are basically the same, we are just not used to working the site. We (they) will learn and through unity in interest and goals become stronger and more understanding.
The above was also posted at Mutiny at DG, re-posted here for those that have moved forward.

thanks, Ric--I missed this post on the other thread! Definitely all are welcome in our Midatlantic Gardening forum!!

I have a cubit on Cubits - for a Round Robin Quilt - anyone is welcome to join us

Quiet thread..........

Only watching ,, I read this often ,, Enjoying the conversations

This thread is quiet now because the dust is settling. The holidays are over, folks are back at work. Those that felt what was happening at the old garden was the last straw are starting to find their friends and interests here at ATP, on Cubits, or have moved on to FB.

This thread has pretty much served its' purpose. That being said, I think you will see fewer and fewer posts here and before long it will slip away. I considered marking it solved/finished, but realized it is still a jumping off point for new users. Many that are here are feeling at home, but for some this is where they know they can connect and find links to navigate and also find their friends.
So, for now, it can just be here if that suits.

Yes, I'm still looking for friends that have moved to ATP and especially Cubits "Sisters of the Heart" because I'll be doing more crafting atm, until I can get home to my own garden

Only the Plant ID threads can be marked as solved/finished.

Thanks for commenting, Sue -- I didn't think we could do that with regular threads.

I will be checking in on threads in the sandbox and mostly lurking, as I did in my previous life. I probably feel more comfortable to post here, but haven't a lot to say. It's like in real life, you learn more from 'listening' than from talking.

I have interest in some of the plant forums, but don't really feel that I have a lot to contribute any more. Still adding photos to the database if I have them.

Nice to see all the friendly peeps here.

"in my previous life" - interesting comment, I love it!

Oh, Before I post a message here the Thread options box comes up asking if I want to mark the thread as solved, finished or expired. I just figured it was an option.
