RE: How To Get A Great Start on Hive 2

in OCD2 years ago

Howdy Francesca, no, it's not too much to add one or more comments! hahaha
(though i am not used to this many comments engaging in my posts normally)

I am so glad that you did comment. Especially with all that you just shared. I am so happy to hear that you really enjoyed the posts and found them helpful. I'm even more happy to hear you commented now because you were encouraged and inspired to do so by anything i had to say.

I just read your introduction post and i really think you are going to do very well here on Hive based on how awesome your first post is/was. Most people take a while to make a post that good... so, it looks like you are picking it up pretty quickly. I was going to recommend to you the Needle Work community but saw that you already had someone recommend that community in your comments there. I am also just going to comment to you hear so you don't have to go back and forth and such.

Usually, the community bombards you with info and then more info in your intro posts. I saw in the comments how much encouragement there was but also how that might have been a bit overwhelming. So, i'm glad that you found your way to my posts and took the time and effort to comment! I will be making a part 3 here sometime soon.... so maybe by then most of this stuff will make a little sense at least! hahaha

I just wanted to mention that i appreciate that your art is in fabric and textiles. I think it's quite a lost art to be honest. I had an idea when i was younger to make myself my own set of clothes for each day of the week and just have that as my wardrobe. I thought it would be really cool to have made it myself and to not have anything more than i needed. I never did it though...

I did end up sewing most of my family members and loved ones little Lavender-filled sachets. It was my first time sewing since i was in 7th grade. I really enjoyed the process and the way that each one was unique to the person i was making it for. I prayed for them while i sewed it... kind of like each stitch was a prayer and a blessing. I thought they could squish the little bags and sniff them. My two nieces and my nephew were all in school and i told them they could take it with them during their tests to help activate their memory. Anyways... i felt a connection with your intro. So, welcome to Hive and don't be a stranger. If you need any help feel free to reach out anytime. Cheers

That was just such a lovely answer thank you!:) Thats a really cool idea to have one outfit for each day and thats it, I actually had a similar idea, or still have, I think if you just have the perfect combination of clothes you dont need that many at all and could still be dressed in many different ways. Maybe one day I manage to accomplish that goal:) The lavender sachets they are really nice yes, I also used to put them in the wardrobe with the clothes, for them to smell good and I think it Keeps away the moths.. such a small thing but so many uses and ways to personalize them, or be creative.
And well I will definitely read part three then! until then, cheers
