Wish List, Likes, Dislikes...
I had a brainstorm idea this morning. (Watch out world!) I belong to several online stitching groups and each group has a questionaire asking about wish lists, likes, dislikes, etc. I find it time consuming to be typing the same things over and over, so I thought... Why not put it all in my blog, and then reference this entry? Good idea, eh? I thought so! So here goes:
FAVORITES
Favorite fabric: 28/32ct evenweave/linen, hand-dyeds
Favorite needles: 26ct petite needles
Favorite Threads: Victoria Clayton Silks, GAST, Glissen Gloss Colorwash Silks, SSS (needed floss colors are in my wish list link below). Love specialty flosses.
Colors (include favorites & least favorites): Favorites: soft pretty colors such as pastels and lighter tans/mottled browns; Dislikes: dark, drab colors.
Themes (include favorites & least favorites): Likes: Fobs, Stitcher Accessories, Christmas ornaments; Least favorite: religious, folksy, abstract, fantasy, Celtic.
Magazines (include favorites & any that are subscriptions): Any UK mags, Stoney Creek , JCS
Favorite Designers: Miribilia, Joan Elliot, Bent Creek, Lizzie Kate as well as a few others.
Favorite Foods/Drink: ice tea (or flavored hot teas), cocoa, skittles, jelly belly jelly beans, Lindor chocolate, Ferrero Rocher chocolate
Collections (things you collect other than stitching): old cameras (I’m a photographer too)
Scents (include favorite & least favorite): My favorite scent is Lilac. I have allergies and asthma so strong scents don’t work for me.

Do you have an online photo album? My Album
How do you store your threads? On bobbins in plastic storage cases
Floss bags or bobbins? (Cardboard or plastic bobbins?) I use both bags and bobbins. Mostly bobbins. I’m in the process of switching from cardboard to plastic DMC bobbins.

What a great wish List...who designed the stitcher's sampler? Love your new photo home!
Needle in a Haystack (NiaH) is my LNS...isn't it great!? I'll be heading there tomorrow to take a class. I love that place...
I don't know if you like to stitch HAED's but I found two, while I was writing down my enormous wish list. The fist one is Moon Maidens by Ruth Sanderson, and the second, which I think is just absolutely stunning if Turandot by Kinuko V. Craft Arts. Just take a peek when you get a chance.
Great list
Great idea!
SSS = Six Strand Sweets? If so, what colors are you looking for? Also, I think I have some DMC plastic bobbins I can send to you.
Lovely idea. Such a pretty wishlist
Oh and wish you a great 2012 with a whole lot of stitching and everything wonderful
What a good idea Meari!
Hugs,
Laurita
