Last night

I spent 15 minutes searching for some thread. It was specific specialty thread for a particular project. I had just finished the Tree House –

This is Fabulous House #6 by Cottage Garden Samplings. Stitched on 18 ct Vintage Stormy Clouds (Zweigart – of which I bought enough at the beginning of the year for all 12) stitched with the called for threads. Started 2 June 2024, completed 9 June – all ~8k stitches of it. 

Finishing a project  freed me up to start something new. But after a quick start, on LindyStitches North Atlantic Right Whale – Sea Glass seemed the next obvious choice. From the name it is obviously not a DMC color. New projects get dropped in a project back or the bin once started. But before that? I am not particularly a fan of kitting things up which ties up fabric, floss, etc for something I might never get to. So there I am – cleaning off my desk in search of the thread which I remember arriving sometime in theist couple of weeks. Not. of course that this particular surface didn’t throughly need it. No picture will be provided. I don’t need to embarrass myself that much.

Then I moved on to checking on the back desk, two open bins – one of which has the current projects and the other the recent additions to the stash.
Nothing in any of those locations. Where else? Oh, yes the ironing board. And there they were – four small skeins of floss just waiting for me.
