NOT ENOUGH.......
Floss that is! Please designers, list in the charts if 2 skeins of floss will be needed. I'm stitching it on the called for 30 count WDW Confederate Gray with 2 strands over 2 threads. I have placed my order today for the 2 GA dark colors. Now to just wait...
I guess I will go ahead and paint my box today. I found my Painters Tape to tape off the glass. So painting it shall be today. It is raining again. We had 2 days of no rain, but the ground is so wet. I cut grass or should I say mushrooms Friday. The kids came and played in their pool. Yesterday, we repaired the deck on our tenants place. Then I came home and stitched till I ran out of floss. Which was about 8 hours.. I didn't stitch the whole time.. I was watching Dark Shadows - The Beginning. Still on the first box of DVDs for them. Two boxes with about 12 dvds each and 10 episodes each dvd.
I pulled out A Bee's Bounty By Threadwork Primitives. I'm starting it today. I'm going to stitch it with DMC and maybe a over dyed thread for the yellow.
This is the progress on my Santa Village - North Pole Post Office. Stitching on natural color linen for this one. I had been stitching on this one at night when I go to bed.. I guess by looking at it. I fall asleep a lot. lol
That is all for today. Till later.....

It is so frustrating to run out of thread . For me the only readily available thread is DMC. Anything else requires an order and a wait! I do love your WIPS.
Great progress on everything April.

I agree! I did Spring Jack earlier and because of a dye lot difference, he has a 5'oclock shadow, might have been a different outcome had I known to purchase more of the floss the time I bought the first skein. Then of course sometimes it takes a long time to get the specialty threads in.
I started my Bee's bounty last night, I'm in love with it.
We are on our 3rd day of sun, i'm loving it.
stay dry!
ohhhh dear ... I hope I have got enough of the thread now .. have started it but not got much further ... must dig it out of the wip drawer ,... love mouse xxxxx
I feel your frustration! I've run in to that problem a couple times. I try to have extra on hand now.
I really like A Bee's Bounty. I think that one might make it in to my stash soon.
Have a wonderful week!
