Oops, the Happy Dance will have to wait. :(
Looked like I was getting close to finishing Blackwork Dragon... then I started running out of the Silk Bella. I thought I recalled buying a second spool, but it turns out that I bought another spool of a different color, to use on another project.
On the good side, I went through my stitching cabinet looking for the other spool of green, and ended up tidying up quite a bit. It may have looked organized, but it really wasn't, very. It's better now... most of the WIPs in one basket, and miscellaneous stuff (flosses, specialty stuff for certain project, stitch band, etc, in the other, and I tidied up the drawer of specialty floss.
Got to the point where I had a bunch of different skeins of rayons, metallics, and flower threads spread out on the floor and laid in order to bag, when Munchie decided to come see what I was doing. Much to my surprise, she went for the little twist of ribbon stapled to the top of one of my freebie patterns on the pile I'd made, and totally ignored all the flosses laying out. She used to be terrible about grabbing a floss and running!
I do have a bit more floss I can put into BD, but I'm not going to get another chance to get to a shop and restock until... sheesh... maybe not till the 31st. Travelling down to So. Cal both next weekend and the following one. So unless there's a shop right near the convention center in San Diego, BD will just have to wait.
In other news, TW announced all the non-stitching forums on the TWBB will be shut down at the end of July. Sad about that, there are many great people there and I love lurking in the Just Plain Chat forum. Hopefully most will migrate to one or several of the other boards, and still keep chatting. I can understand her reasons for wanting it this way, but like others, I am saddened that it has happened.
