Needle and Thread...

I won't share progress photos today. I'm going to wait a while to show you my cardinal again. I'm going back to stitching with one thread to get better details. 

What I will show you are all the colors that will be going into the two birds and the branch on which they're both perched. These are all Anchor threads (floss/stranded cotton). I'll keep working on this over the weekend, and perhaps I'll share more on Monday.

Can you believe it's the weekend again...already!? Where is the time going? It's nearly September, and in Wisconsin, we look at Labor Day as the beginning of the short slide to winter. I'm going to try to savor every single autumn day I can. I hope you will, too. 

Another Box of Goodness...

Brynwood Needleworks - Anchor™ Stranded Cotton Floss Assortment

Oh, my goodness! Another box of needlework goodness arrived two days ago. The open box revealed more gorgeous, pastel-colored linens, a few other treasures, and...a nearly complete Anchor™ floss assortment, complete with Anchor's color card pamphlet. 

 

I've always been a huge fan of Anchor threads, so receiving this was a wonderful surprise. When I called my girlfriend to thank her, I learned there's more coming, so I was fairly giddy. As I'm going to be doing more needlework in the future, having these threads are a welcome addition to my studio. Now, all I need to do is figure out how I'm going to store them!
