Serious apologies for not being here purely because of lack of net at home, but I have been thinking of everyone here, wondering what has been happening and heavens above does a lot happen in a few days.
Have tried catching up on your thread, got a little bit lost but have an idea of what has been happening.
I am glad that you are going to get back into your jewellery making, I can dressmake but in the creative craft dept I am useless and I admire those that can create jewellery.
Now your email has gone off to H, try not to think about what he has thought upon reading it, that is part of the detaching side of things. You have responded, now you just go on with your life and GALing and when he replies then deal with it, but don't let the thoughts of his reaction at this point bother you.
LR is right, you have to learn the techniques or they do come and bite you on the bum, we have all gone through that. If your H is stubborn he will take just that bit longer to get through to and so you are going to have to show an exceptional amount of patience.
