You can never have enough...

Good morning.

Sun just coming out, after a few more showers earlier. 

A few errands to go out for but otherwise the day probably dictated by the weather ... housework probably should be attended to!

For those who do embroidery work, I'm guessing that all brands are not created equal when it comes to thread (or is it floss, lol)  ... I have left over DMC thread that I've had for years (still perfectly ok) but I see there are lots of brands out there these days. What other brands are more or less equal to the DMC brand, so I can add a few more colours? Or is it best to stick with DMC? I see Spotlight has that. I took the plunge and have bought an embroidery stitch book off TM ... first step towards the new pastime (which I will need to find/make time for, lol).

KM, we will probably not pass on through until next week now.

Righto, better get a move on now my coffee is finished.

Enjoy the day.

There was someone on TM P and A years ago who used to post about her Sphynx cats, the photos were lovely, very photogenic cats! But I seem to remember they were quite hard work in terms of their care ... needing regular baths was one thing.

Roma, I am using my own ancient threads, bought when generics simply weren't available, and I have picked up a few bargain handfuls on TM, but this past week I was tempted into buying a small box - a half box!- of generics wound onto card bobbins that the seller had kindly matched and numbered to DMC matches. So far, I cannot see any difference between the European 'silks' and the Asian imports. They stitch the same, the colours are lovely, and they are a hell of a lot cheaper than the others. You can pick up a clutch of skeins on TM for under $20. I just cannot see the point in spending double that for half the quantity...

Especially seeing I'm stitching into recycled denim and using very old patch fabrics to play with! For someone who was once addicted to Erhman tapestry kits that is quite a change, lol!
