i'm not very craftsy, but i have a thing about crocheting dishcloths.

it's a basket-weave design and i have mentioned in the past how it helps me to keep sane.

i have been suicidal lately and thought, why not send these dishcloths out to my friends and they will always have a little piece of me to be remembered by.

TH and Hmmm, I would be honored to send you dishcloths. Please don't feel uncomfortable about asking me or sending your addresses. I am just this little old lady (okay, I lie) who lives in San Diego and will never use your addresses in a foul way (unless you ask me to - wink). If anything, you will be added to my Christmas list. You actually do me a favor by requesting one, so please feel free to e-mail me.

xw, someone else (who I sent one to already) said the same about selling them over the internet. I may do that eventually, but right now I am focusing on my friends and would love to send you one, too!

Okay, here is where I sound sappy, but I mean this with my whole heart. You are a great bunch of people. Appreciative, loving and kind. I really didn't think people would respond to this (thus, I actually begged people on their threads to come here). I love each one of you all the more for what you have written. You are truly the best!!!

Love you all,

Dottie

Opinions/Advice needed

ok here is my deal.... for those of you who don't know already i have never been df'd or da'd.

i just quit going, and was never baptized.

(that will become relevant later).

(((((((Joanna))))))) This is tough. Is it possible to call your friends before the shower and tell them that you would like to bring them a gift for the baby? Do you think that they would be honest with you and say if that would make them uncomfortable? If you don't feel good about calling them, maybe you could buy a gift and let your mother take it. I don't know if I'd want to walk into the den of vipers...er...the babyshower put on by jws without giving them notice in advance.

It looks to me like they are shunning you because you are inactive. I think (and mind you, I don't know your whole situation) that your mother is hoping that you will be encouraged to go back to the kh if you are around all the loving jws at this shower. Maybe they would all be nice to you. Maybe your friends would love seeing you again. But, maybe they didn't send you an invitation on purpose. I don't want to see you hurt and you are sort of putting your heart out on the table for them to chop up. You know your friends. If you really want to go, maybe you should call first and tell them that you would like to give them a gift for their baby and how happy you are for them. Then it's up to them to tell you if they want you at the shower.

I'm not the greatest in giving advice (or crocheting dishcloths), but it seems to me that they have shut you out of their lives and, for YOUR sake, you should call them and feel them out...see how they react to you.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((Lyin))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) I love you so much, you make me cry. Please, please send me your address and the color you want.

So many years have gone by that Deanna hasn't spoken to me and I thought I'd overcome the pain. But, I love the little bitch and hope that she will realize that one day. I wish I knew where she was and I'd send her a fucking dishcloth. Sorry. Shit. This is what happens when I become emotional (or drunk, which I'm not, unfortunately). I swear. Fuck. (I grew up in Massachusetts.)

Xena, Elsewhere: please send me your addresses. Thank you for posting, you both mean a lot to me. I saw a Santa today at our office Christmas party. I was oddly attracted to him. I think it was the hat and beard. I like your hat, Elsie (wink), almost as much as I like your cowlick.

Jes, I will send you my address tonight!

Simon, thank you for getting me in touch with so, so many great people.

I want to add that it really helps if, when you send me the info, you also tell me who you post as. I've come to know and love you by the name you use here.

Scooter, I'll make you three, for those strategic places! hahahaha

BG, my mom knitted my sister and me slippers for Christmas a couple of years! I loved them, too, and they really kept my feet warm in cold Massachusetts.

Biker, it's been in me to kill myself since the day I was born, I think. I learned over the years that the feelings go away and life is really good once I get over those tough spots. I didn't kill myself for the sake of my children. Now I have no excuse, except that I know that these thoughts are just ingrained in me, part of me and that they go away if I give it time. I take medication and it really has helped. The dishcloths help me, too, because you are right, while I'm crocheting, I'm thinking of the person I'm giving it to and I feel good. If ya don't like lime green (which has never been part of my yarn palette, btw), tell me what you want and it's yours.

My heart is welling up with, hell I dunno, LOVE.

Gopher, meadow, larc, Jes, and anyone else who likes me, please e-mail me your address and I will make you one of my dishcloths. Let me know what color goes well in your kitchen. You may not get it for Christmas, but my heart and fingers will be doing the same for you as they've done so far this Christmas season. Giving something of myself. Sending you a piece of me. Telling you that you are loved and cared about.

Mulan, I am serious about making one for you, too...in green and cream (a very pretty combo).
