LOL - you have no idea when that might be. I'm not much for trading charts

- just the struggling designers thing. They have a very funny copyright statement on their chart. IT is a ice, big, easy to read chart. I'll trade other stuff, though. It is a pretty fun design - I hope to get to it soon.

It SAYS it`s a blue carnation, Mary!

That, at least, gives you more options. On the other hand, blue IS a winter colour.

Or just imagine that you are one of the 0.4 percent of US females (or one of the 7 percent of the US males) that have defective colour vision; then you can have whatever colour of carnation you wish. Our dark red carnations are at their peak right now - to me they look almost black; and our pink carnations appear light blue to me.

Knowing how much you like purple, what about changing all the blues to a nice royal purple? After all, that *is* a Christmas color (at least for the Catholic church I attended growing up). Christ, the king, and all that. I always lean to purple and green as my holiday colors...

Anyway, that's my 2 cents.

First - it is a carnation! Honestly - why not change it to a purple flower since I know you like purple. Reds are maybe, or lemon yellows?

Enjoy yourself!

BTW Mary, thanks - I really didn't need to add more stash, but....

Who among us DOES "need" more stash?

Nonetheless, I just bought one of LizardGumbo's charts, and while I'm waiting for it to arrive, I hand-dyed some fabric to stitch it on.

CHOCOHOLIC ENABLING ALERT.... Pepperidge Farm Orange Milanos "Prepare for departure ... and be swept away by this aromatic creation. Between the exquisite cookies of this classic Milano awaits an intriguing melange of enticing orange creme and rich, dark chocolate."

Who writes this stuff?

Despite the purple prose, since the bag had a sticker on it "Instantly Win a European Adventure", and they were on sale, I took every bag they had. Haven't won yet, but I'm sure whichever of you lovelies does win, will want to take me along to translate. :)

Thanks for the heads up! I love orange Milanos and wouldn't mind winning the European Adventure. The cookie description is sappy but accurate.

Pani mowi po polsku?

Okay, I did a stash addition today -- not stitching, but knitting/crocheting

1. I took apart a poncho / cape that I made last year -- just didn't like it, now I have all that yarn to use again
2. I wanted to get another color of Caron Soft yarn to use with some bits and pieces to make myself a sweater (it was on sale for a skein instead of .07)
3. Of course, I looked around while finding my yarn and noticed a really cool variegated/multicolored on sale for 50 cents per skein AND they had six skeins (total of 24 oz which is enough for this new raglan sweater pattern I've fallen in love with)

Sigh, I really want to finish the Santa Ornament AND make some progress on one of my other WIPs (Rocky Mountain Christmas - doing on needlepoint canvas, Purple Passion, Under the Oaks, and Flower Power -- those are the stitching projects that I consider to be WIPs, we won't count the projects all kitted up and ready to go NOR the projects that I haven't stitched on in over a year!)

Enough to guess what you said, yes. :)

I've studied German, French and Spanish. Grew up in a town of Italian immigrants, so even though I didn't take classes, I speak enough to get by. Can bumble through Portuguese, Dutch and the assorted Scandinavians based on my knowledge of related languages.

Besides, in this crowd, the only thing I really need to translate is "where is the LNS?"

WHOA -- funky looking Carnation -- and that's my birth month too -- LOL! I was wondering why the design had what I thought was a spider mum -- mums are usually for autumn not winter! I know red would work, I was just hoping someone might have some other idea. I suppose that if I did the designs on a colored fabric, I could do the flower in white!! There's loads of white carnations -- even white spider mums too :-))! CiaoMeow >^;;^<

WHAT -- you expected me to READ what the design says?? What is wrong with you, Pat??? And I loathe blue -- won't use it for anything but sky or water or Siamese cat eyes. That ain't gonna be a blue flower -- carnation OR spider mum -- LOL! What do you think of a white carnation if I stitch the piece on a colored fabric or maybe a dark neutral so the white shows up a bit better??? CiaoMeow >^;;^<

I must have thought about that when buying floss at CATS because I also purchased a lovely variegated purple -- light to dark. I could use it for the colored part of the letters and then do the flower in purples. I just REALLY wanted to use that r/g Waterlilies and it would look truly garish with just about *any* shade of purple -- VBS! Oh well, decisions, decisions :-)! CiaoMeow >^;;^<

Thank Janet, too. I sent it because I was the one who had your snail mail :-)! CiaoMeow >^;;^<
