It's A Finish!!

I had a wonderful stitching day on Saturday. It was cold and blustery outside and I was snug and warm inside stitching to my hearts content. I did hve a bit of a close shave though. Michele B had commented on an earlier post that she was short of thread on CC Pea Pod and most likely CC Caterpillar. Those were OK for me, CC Pea Pod I had 4 strands left and CC Caterpillar 12 strands. My problem was Toasted Marshmallow. I was getting to the last 4 strands and thought I would never complete it all with what I had left. I was lucky in that I had stitched all of the larger areas and was really only left with about 10 of the small snowflakes consisting of 4 stitches each. I'd gone back through my ort jar and there were just the knots, nothing left that I could use at all. So I had to sub DMC 3865 which was the closest and a very good match. I can't tell now which ones I've done with CC or DMC. But all well that ends well!
