Gentle Readers and Dear Friends another week rolls by and it's almost Friday - can I get a Whoop-Whoop!!!! Although the temps here is the City are hovering in the high 50's low 60's (depending on where in the City you are) we are going to get a bit cooler over the weekend... low 50's, lots of fog.... and unless I can find some great Estate Sales I gonna just stay in and stitch and watch movies!!! After two weeks of nothing, zilch, Nada - I am not feeling it a the moment to hassle with the traffic and parking issues to go shopping.... but who knows, come Saturday morning I might just feel it and go anyway!!
_______________
Anywho - the mail has brought me a little tasty treat - CCN September Cottage - and I pulled the recommended floss and then hauled out my over dyed stash floss and here is my conversion.........
On the right are the called for DMC choices (a bit on the orange side for me) I converted them to the following:
DMC 349 to GAST Geranium
DMC 351 to GAST Rhubarb
DMC 729 to WDW Marigold
DMC 3031 to CC Caterpillar
DMC B5200 for the White
Keeping -
WDW Pecan and WDW Grasshopper
I found I have 3 skeins of Rhubarb and each skein is very different - I chose the lightest of the three. I like the idea of using a redder red - and Geranium will work nicely - since I presume that the "fruit" on "September" are apples, I think it will be nicer than the coral called for.
Last night I stitched a bit on an Exchange piece, but also stitched some on ATS... no snap of either.
