I think when I complain about that stuff it’s the very big companies contacting us who basically want something for nothing. Yes… have trouble fitting into clothes now haha.

Hi, Nichola, thanks so much for replying. I guess it could have. Later, on Twitter, I saw a tweet from you where you were kind of rolling your eyes at all these businesses that always want you to do stuff for them for free, thinking that you’d want their “exposure,” and how annoying that always is.

I agree, it is annoying. lol Used to happen to me all the time, so I sympathise. I thought maybe mine had been interpreted the same way and had been deleted for that reason. I had praised that wonderful painting of yours of the flowers and the greenhouse, and wondered if you might ever consider making a cross stitch chart from it. Also, at that time, I was trying to resurrect my historic costume business and had asked if I could try to make you a Regency gown, since I used to do custom work from afar, but needed to practice–and I remember a video where you said you liked that style very much. But, alas, the people who were considering backing me financially so I could get my business going again have declined to help, so that’s that.

But now, your dress wouldn’t fit! 😉 Since they run straight across the tummy in front and all. I am so happy for you both. It couldn’t happen for a nicer couple! Take care! 🙂

Hi, I’m sorry I didn’t reply but I don’t ever remember getting an email like that. Perhaps it went into the spam folder so I didn’t see it.

Congrats to Hugh on the hard work and physical changes, that’s awesome! I know it must be very hard some days, but it makes such a big difference to have people surrounding you who have your back.

Take care you two. 🙂
