My Fave Hobby ~ Cross Stitch

 I have been in a cross stitch group for a very long time, i have loved this designers charts for many years. And today i get an email from her saying i have been kicked out of her group cause of heresay and she didn't even bother to ask me about it she just kicked me out. I have sent her 3 emails which she hasnt replyed too :( It's unfair that designers do this. Why the hell would i want to share there charts. I don't even share and would never ever share. Shame the people that do the charts never get listened too

Poor girl was crying and all she wanted to do was go back to the dance lol. Got her home and she was in more tears with the pain. So rang an ambulance and they came and checked her out, they said she didn't have a broken hand (thank goodness) but to go to the hospital for an xray.
