Feeling sad

Well it seems that 65 years worth of experience is of no use to some people.  

If you ask for help then PLEASE accept it with graciousness and not bite the hand that's trying to feed you advice.

Who do I need to hit????
Not that I can go anywhere to do so.....but the offer stands.
Why ask for help only to then be ungrateful when it is given??
Manners are a rare commodity.

Thank you for all you give to us! You are a treasure. Perhaps the individual will realize how much they hurt you and apologize. If so, or if not, please know we value all you give so generously.

Hi, Jane. I am so sorry to see/read that you are sad or that someone has mistreated you. You are truly kind, helpful and nice! I love your beautiful tatting and sewing projects and more, but especially all the information you so kindly and intelligently share with your readers. Take care. All the best, Caroline 😊

So sorry to hear someone has been ugly and unappreciative to you. Cannot IMAGINE anyone who would not be delighted to receive advice, help, and support from you, especially with all your experience (and BC3) to back you up. I certainly appreciate all you have taught me and all the help you've given over the years. It's a good thing you didn't name anybody .... we would all go after that person, I'm sure. WE think you're wonderful!

You have been one of the bright lights in my tatting years.... don't let the turkeys get you down... lately there are a lot of rude and mean comments people feel the need to share... You have inspired me in so many ways... ignore the mean ones.. you have lots of followers who love and support you !!!

Jane Eborall said...

Thank you, anonymous and happygranny. I honestly didn't realise how many people read my blog posts. I only really blog in order to keep myself motivated and some sort of order in my crafting life. I will sleep a lot better tonight due to all these wonderful comments.

You are a dear. You are so willing to teach and post tech pages. And share your patterns. And help when asked. I know there are many who appreciate you so much yet often we are not as vocal in our praise as we should be

Jane McLellan said...

Well, a lot of us are very appreciative of your help, so I hope the smiley face has returned!

Maureen said...

A long time ago I knew I had finally grown up when I realised that not everyone else will behave, or act in the way that you would yourself.
It’s the way if the world Jane, but isn’t it wonderful that most people who tat are really nice and on the same wavelength?
Chalk this one up to experience, and let it go through to the keeper.
Onward and Upward. I

Jane Eborall said...

Yes, Maureen, water under the bridge now.
