You must have been so sad.<br />I used to do cross stitch too....now I don't want to make something which is so restrictive to your creativity with no room for individuality and letting your project evolve.<br />Jacquie xJacquiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05070925194308020019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225566259581748208.post-48629402836186397552014-09-30T20:30:55.124+01:002014-09-30T20:30:55.124+01:00Jo I do love this story so much!

The thought of having to let a piece like that sit after all of your hard work would be hard to see and you could not just throw it out! Burring it makes sense! Glad you found your husband.....life has a way of steering us in new directions doesn't it??? A wonderful week to you and thank you for sharing this one with us!

I'm not sure if I could do that. But, it makes sense. We do have to move on. Sometimes that's all you can do about a situation. And, there are always great things to look forward to. :-) Thought provoking post because I've moved on from some lousy stuff but have been slow to bury some of them.

I want to learn my whole life long, I don't want to stop! Making mistakes (and learning from them) is probably the only way to try harder to improve things. <br />And just look at your achievements now! :)<br />Have a good week!<br />Ingrid xx<br />http://myfunkycrochet.blogspot.beIngrid K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10141647083619348121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225566259581748208.post-85007835227577605442014-09-29T11:34:04.422+01:002014-09-29T11:34:04.422+01:00Sometimes we all have to let go and move on but I ...Sometimes we all have to let go and move on but I cant help thinking you might have been better keeping the cross stitch and sticking the horrible boyfriend in the hole you dug....!

Sometimes a bad thing turns into a good thing & a really good thing to boot! I met my lovely husband just after a disastrous period in my life & now I knit, crochet & sew too! I still like doing cross stitch though.Jo@awholeplotoflovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03525039817338877634noreply@blogger.com
