Good Morning. It is sunny in southern Indiana and warm. Trees are budded, grasses are being mowed and my head hurts and my eyes are watering...love springtime!! I feel like a criminal when I need to buy Sudafed..I probably look like one too, eyes all red, nose running, and constantly making funny noises so I can clear my throat.
I have blocked more doilies..Hip Hip Horray!! Only 28 more to go. I posted pics..maybe not the best quality of pictures. Like I said my eyes are so watery, I did it very quickly..they are round even if they don't look like.
The large army green one is made with Nazli Gelin Garden thead..size 10. I thought I would try this thread as DMC Cebelia is crazy high in price and really hard to find. To compare..Nazli: size 10 is a little smaller, alot softer, blocks very well..and seems to hold its shape..if you tend to have to rip out and rework your work I think it might get fuzzy. It is less expensive and has quite a bit more thread.. I would buy it again..Got it off line on ebay for less than $3.00. I have saved the seller in my favorites to make another purchase.
