Floss!

I got some floss! 5/$1 at Michaels. Not the best price I've seen around here, but it's less than 25 cents a skein, which is good enough. I got what I needed for Chatelaine's Spring Roses, and a few for Stroke of Midnight....DD started screaming, so I had to get out of there pronto. Maybe they will have another sale soon. Or maybe ACMoore will. Now I just have to decide on a fabric for Spring Roses, and order that.

And CHG is starting to call out. I haven't worked on it since before DD was born (April '05). Too afraid I would mess it up, with being tired and everything else that goes with having a newborn. Especially with those tiny, pale yellow Jessica stitches. I don't like those. They are pretty, but...maybe if they were bigger, with a more contrasting floss color, I would like doing them better.

One of these days, I'll have to take some pictures. I've never photographed anything I've done over the past 20 years. I need proof of how insane I was back in 1996. TW's Spring Carousel Horse on 18 count Aida. Yes, Aida. Before I knew better--ok, the truth--knew of the existance of evenweave fabrics, and where to purchase them. I even started the Winter horse on Aida too. And stopped. I'll start again on an evenweave someday. And I'll probably re-stitch the Spring one. (It ended up being a gift for my niece, who wasn't even a glimmer yet in her parents' eyes when I stitched it. I wasn't even married to DH yet, although we were engaged.) I'm another victim of the various stitching BBs and the enablers. I found out about Lugana, Linen, silk flosses, hand-dyed fabric and flosses, beads.....Oh boy! My stash has grown considerably in the last 5 or so years. And I'm nowhere near what some of the ladies have collected, despite what DH thinks.
