Many other stitchers see it that way as well. <br /><br />I ran an email discussion list a few years ago and it really bothered me every time someone said something negative about how I ran the list. I tried hard to please everyone on the list. Of course that was setting myself up to fail because no one can please everyone, there will always be that one person (or a couple people) that has nothing nice to say. <br /><br />I hope you are feeling better today!Raven/Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15502412577584236318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486902113258728399.post-90869336561770059812010-08-12T07:26:43.172-04:002010-08-12T07:26:43.172-04:00Thank you Missy.

I think it's wonderful when a stitcher changes up a project to suit their own needs!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05030977367531069584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486902113258728399.post-51555471690976005052010-08-11T12:29:53.230-04:002010-08-11T12:29:53.230-04:00If it helps at all, I see designing as art and the...If it helps at all, I see designing as art and the materials used as what the designer feels is best for their artwork, same as a painter or other graphic artist. If I can't afford the specialty threads, I simply find a DMC color that I like for that design, which is a stitcher's perogative.<br /><br />Please try not to take the nasty comments too much to heart. I do know that is very hard to do.Raven/Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15502412577584236318noreply@blogger.com
