RE: CONTEST - THANK YOU ECONOMY WEEK 2 - WIN SBI SHARES
Hi @coinsandchains, thanks for organizing this contest :)
I would like to thank @crosheille, who is the creator and host of #NeedleworkMonday.
When I first started on Steemit in March this year, I wasn't sure how to start or where to start. Quite randomly, I did a search on something of my interest, "crochet". I wasn't expecting to find anything but out came the #NeedleworkMonday which was started by @crosheille. I started reading through all the lovely posts on this hashtag / community and I knew I found a place for my first post.
And when I wrote my first post (unsure what was going to happen), @crosheille was the first to comment on my post, welcoming me warmly into the community. Ever since then, I have been posting regularly in #NeedleworkMonday. Not only did she bring the community together, she is also a very sweet lady with the biggest of hearts, always supporting, inspiring and encouraging us in the community, giving us a sense of belonging, especially for those who are new to the community.
For that, I would like to thank @crosheille. She gave me a sense of belonging on this platform. Her kind support and advice since the very beginning has encouraged me to keep steeming until today.
Great choice, it looks like she has started a pretty awesome supportive community. I have to admit even though it's not exactly manly, I can crochet, cross-stitch, knit and sew. I learned from my grandmother when I was a kid, even helped make a couple quilts. I haven't done much of it since I taught my wife and daughters the basics, too many other things fill most of my time.
Hello @coinsandchains this is a really great thing you are doing here. How generous of you to encourage others to show their appreciation of those who have helped and influenced them along the way. Thank you!
I think it’s amazing that you know how to do all of those needle arts! I taught my husband how to crochet and he will be learning how to sew with me soon too. If you ever want to stop in on #NeedleWorkMonday’s to share some of your handiwork we’d love to have you. 😊
You are quite welcome, and thank you for the invitation. I don't do much anymore and would probably have trouble finding examples. The last project I worked on I used for teaching. We made pillowcase dresses for my youngest to take on a mission trip to Africa. Those are great for teaching some sewing machine basics and for learning to add frills and piping etc.
Thank you for stopping by, and feel free to join in as well.
Oh absolutely! I definitely understand that. I have spoke with a few Steemians that used to do one of those crafts but just haven’t had the time to pick it back up again. Thanks for the tip about the pillowcase dresses. I’ll be needing some projects to learn how to sew.
Thanks for inviting me to join in as well. I will definitely keep this in mind to do :)
Yes she started an awesome community and she is one very amazing and awesome lady, always encouraging, providing constructive feedback and advice to the community.
And I think men who do needlework are cool :) Do join the needleworkmonday! You can share with us how you made the pillowcase dresses. I would like to try too! :)
Wow @marblely I am so humbled and feel so blessed right now. Thank you for this thank you and shoutout, you don’t know how much that means to me. Your appreciation of my support and work in the needlework community is very humbling and I am so grateful that you joined in!
Your posts are getting better and better and I appreciate you taking my advice and showing the process of your work. I believe this will inspire more people to give needlework a try when they can actually see a project come to life before their eyes. So I Congratulate you for sticking with this community and sharing original quality post that one can enjoy! I’m hoping for some really great things to happen in our community!! 😃❤️
Thank you~ 😘
I can't thank you enough 😘
When I was unsure about Steemit, you showed me what this platform is about, it is about community, supporting each other, getting to know people and much much more.
Like what I wrote in the "What do we love about #NeedleWorkMonday...." post:
