Hi Cuties, most of you my age anyway have heard the saying,'It's better to have it and not need it, that to need it and not have it.' So, with the recent winter storms, copyright issues, etc it has me thinking.

Just think for instance if, heaven forbid, we lost our Cute site. Do you know how to reach out, via email or Facebook to other Cutie members you would no longer have contact with? I'm not on Facebook, so you wouldn't find me there. You would then have to have my email or try to find a cutie that did.
I admit I have a small handful of email contacts and you probably do too. I know I have reached out recently and am still waiting to hear, from Maria Hail since the storm...what if we never heard from each other again? How sad.
I think a lot of Cuties are like me and have formed great relationships with other members and would still want to hear how they and their families are getting along, what they're making, etc.
Just reminding you to make sure you have a way to contact a Cutie, if the need arises. I sure hope Cute Embroidery is here to stay, but with copyright issues getting so strict, Cute could be jeopardized. We already lost Designs By Cuties, we don't want to lose Cute Embroidery too.
Thank you Ms Veronica for providing this opportunity for us to not only enjoy and use your nice designs,but also for all the lifelong friendships we have formed over the years. -Love and best wishes for all Cuties and their families to enjoy good health-Toogie
CAUTION-As one Cutie reminded us, only send your email to the person though a private message in INBOX at the top, right hand side of this page.
Another reason I thought of this is when my husband was in the service, Army, we had a guy that visited us and now we lost track of him. In the Army all guys went by their last name. His was Zarrick and we are uncertain where he was from. I thought it was the East somewhere, hubby thinks Illinois. Of course, you'd think we knew a first name-duh- we have got a little smarter over the years I hope. Anyway, this guy spent Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays with us in Germany so he wouldn't be alone. Wish we could find him. Our girls tried but with no first name, we just don't know. They were stationed in Schwebisch Gmuend Germany in 1968-1970 at Hardt Kaserne. So Karen, get hubby on this reunion!-lol

Toogie what a lovely post. This post is a tad spooky as we were discussing tonight a friend that we have lost contact with... its a small world in someways. I also received a phone call from today from someone I am still in contact with from when we were 13 in school together, time passes but the friendship continues and I value my Cute friends, for friendship and embroidery advice too. I have some emails of Cuties here but probably not sufficient. Take care all where ever you are

As we get older we treasure the people in our lives more. I'm glad you heard from your friend and hope you find a contact for the other. I too have some Cuties emails. When something happens I try to check on them, especially the silent ones or old ones that no longer visit the site, for whatever reason.

I was sneaky and kept all the e-mals from the Cuties that participated in the quilt project for Miss Lillian. However would my daughter be alert enough to let this site know?. I think I will leave instructions.
Getting my second shot 3/12 Yeah!!!!!!! I might bee able to hug and see family members soon.

I know we are excited too to get to be with our families again.
I told my girls to let Cuties know if I succumb to something. Now some of you are even in my IPhone so no excuse on their part.

Hi Toogie, I agree wholeheartedly and thanks to Miss Veronika for allowing such freedom on this forum. You've got my email address already. Love Chris

Yep and I'm not a pest, am I? I don't swamp you with emails. However, if I can't find you on Cute when I want to, I can email you so we're good.

Good point. We are so spoiled with Miss Veronika and Cute and have all made a lot of close and special relationships. I think it would be a good idea to share info with those we know via PMs.

Popped in to see if there was any info on Maria H. I did see that she posted on Facebook earlier in Feb before the ice storm in Texas. I don't do Facebook either except to check out the consignment shop that sells my items. Hope all of you are OK. The tree pollen is early this year in Georgia and I am staying inside. I am waiting to get my second Covid vaccine and can't afford to be sick. Miss you all. Kay

I had sent you an email earlier today, but thanks for letting us know you heard from Maria, before the storms. I get my second vaccine the 8th. Mrs Lillian is still waiting to get her first.
