News Update from Pamelamama!

[pamelamama]

Some of you may not keep up with my blog and therefore don't know that I've returned to work full time outside my home. I was very worried about keeping up the forums and my store, but thanks to so many wonderful people, things seem to be going steady...

I want to thank all of my wonderful Mod Mamas. :love :love I want to thank our top posters, pmcgary (http://woolywonder.com/forums/member.php?u=9) and twouglyducks (http://woolywonder.com/forums/member.php?u=47), trishshack (http://woolywonder.com/forums/member.php?u=249) and craftymamaof2 (http://woolywonder.com/forums/member.php?u=46), nada (http://woolywonder.com/forums/member.php?u=64) and marnie (http://woolywonder.com/forums/member.php?u=71) for replying to all the help posts that I have not been quick to answer. Without them, I simply could not have kept this place going. Oh, goodnes, also p_b_and_j (http://woolywonder.com/forums/member.php?u=80) for taking up the banner of Fiber Arts Avengers. Many thanks Julie!

Have I forgotten someone who has helped you recently? I'm sure I will be smacking my head saying "Oh, how could I forget!!!" Please add thanks to anyone I might have forgotten! *worry, worry*

My undying gratitude goes to jmo (http://woolywonder.com/forums/member.php?u=14) our webmama. Without her generous donation of time, effort and love, Wooly Wonder Forums would never have come into existence. She gives of her time to keep us updated and running and beautiful.

Share the love with our hard-workin' mamas!

Thank you to those of you have offered warm welcome to newbies! Thank you to the newbies! Thank you to the oldies! You regulars make this place a home.

Thank you for sharing your gorgeous photos and news about your business adventures!

I have been zipping through, and as things level out in my crazy world I will make more posts and leave more commens.

Thank you all for keeping our home warm and friendly and for giving me a place to come home to when my work is over, and I want to talk knits!

Have you heard the news that I am going to be published in the next Debbie Stoller Stitch and Bitch book? Exciting things are happening for me, and I do appreciate having this community to share with.

So thank YOU, dear reader, for reading and for being a part of our home on the web -- whether you are a lurker, occasional poster, or forum regular.

Next month will be our membership drive -- I imagine it will be a little more low-key than last year. Our organizer last year, mamapez (http://woolywonder.com/forums/member.php?u=23). has welcomed a new baby and probably won't be onboard to run the drive again. If you are interested in playing a role in this important event, zip me an email or PM to let me know.

Off to spend a bit of time with my family. I am so glad you are a part of this place, thank you!

You are such a sweet mama to thank everyone personally like that. I'd like to add my thanks too - they do make this place my online home too :heart:.

[pamelamama]

Oh, Ruth, you certainly deserve thanks for your continued positive contributions! Thank you!! xxxooo

[pixielinds]

I am so very emotional these days, but you brought tears to my eyes. Good luck with everything Mama!

[pmcgary]

When is the publication date for the book???? AND more importantly can WW mamas get a bulk price and pamelamama autographed copies???????

(I have my mamapez autographed book....)

[BirthFree]

How exciting Pamela!! I can't wait to see where all of this brings you, you should be proud. :)

[Inspired Mama]

I can't wait to get the new S&B book!!! Any idea when it will be out, Pamela? So cool that you will be a contributer :)

[Nada]

You've been busy! :) Big happy hugs mama.

I also can't wait for the book to come out. :D

[cvharris]

Congrats on the book, Pamela!

And many thanks to you and the mods and jmo who keep these forums running!

[ShellBelle76]

Many thanks to you, Pamela, for having created these forums in the first place! They are a fabulous resource :) Tons of friendly knitting knowledge flowing in one handy location - not so huge that it's overwhelming, but not so small that you can't find what you need.

And many thanks to Ruth & Davina - when I do short rows, I reference Ruth's pictures in the "how perfect are your short rows" thread - and Davina, well, her magic loop pics turned on the lightbulb above my noggin when I attemped wonderpants for the first time.

CONGRATS on the publication, Pamela - would love to snag a signed copy... :D

[twouglyducks]

:pink Thank you, Pam!!! :mwah

[mamaofthreeboys]

Yes, thank you Pam and congrats on the publication :)

((hugs)) Pamelamama ((hugs))
Thank you for providing such a happy place on the web. I *love,love,love* this forum.

[mhurst]

I definitely need to get a thank you in too! I love this place and visit daily. My knitting has mostly moved on from diapering stuff as the baby is finally in all her brother's wool and I really don't need anymore, but this community is so supportive to all knitting/dyeing. It is great.

Pam I hope you are able to find a balance soon that will definitely include some Pam time. It is hard to have many full time jobs...outside the home, managing the home...being a good mom...being a good spouse...And when you figure it out, please let me know the secret!:D

congrats on the book, looks like now I have to buy it:scratchc:

[KaliD]

Congrats on the book and a round of applause to all :D

[knittingnana]

:sunshineCongratulations on your publication! Finding a balance with working, your family and everything else will work out!
I did it for 36 years! My kids were both in sports and we went to every event, even took the bus to a cheerleading tournament-DH also! We always offered to drive the car pools-didn't want my kids in someone else's car.
Amazing,now that my kids each have one DD and work fulltime,they ask me "how did you do it MOM?" My DH didn't help me as much as DS and DSIL does!
Now,I sit back and think I did a pretty good job!:sunshine
Will watch for your book!
Oh, I love this forum and everyone supports the forum Nana!
Thanks to you!

:knit :wool :cat

[imonion]

pam, you are such a special *rocking* mama :) I feel so privileged to have gotten to know you over the years.

[sw1ssm1ss]

That is awesome for you, Pam! That may have to be the first knitting book I ever buy. <gasp!>

I was going to highlight for thanks Pam (pmcgary) and Ruth, who have kindly helped me on the pattern support thread for wonderpants. :)

[Seylah]

Awesome news Pam!! I am so glad to see things going so well, its always good to see hear from you :D

[susanjp]

:grouphug Hugs all around from me too. :)

[doodlebirds]

I joined the other day and the ladies where so nice in saying hello!
I hope your venture back in to the "real" world is a good one. I like my little SAHM world a lot so I home I get to stay here.... I think this as a print out the p-pants pattern I ordered. (thanks for all the download help with that) lol

[ravingcutie]

Hi, Pamela! It's nice to hear from you!

[ashley]

Glad things are going well, albeit busy! Can't wait to see the new SnB book :sunshine
