I think this might prevent having an easily identifiable change. I love the piece you are working on. I am glad that you are feeling better. Enjoy your stitching.CathieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15466163934848609107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-11939178545174252022018-07-22T06:46:19.007-07:002018-07-22T06:46:19.007-07:00Your comfort stitching looks beautiful.. the flowe...Your comfort stitching looks beautiful.. the flower garden is just lovely!<br />The blue floss looks very similar from here!Quilter Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16870660916547202929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-81930429990578393802018-07-22T06:44:02.225-07:002018-07-22T06:44:02.225-07:00That is old thread...I think the newer DMC thread ...That is old thread...I think the newer DMC thread is a good match.

I think the DMC blue floss is as close as you re going to get. I checked my stash of American Thread floss and don't have the color you need. I can remember paying 5 cents for a skein of floss back in 1968 at the local Five and Ten store and still have many of those left, the prices ranges from 5 to 9 cents well into the 1970's. Your stitching is beautiful and I love the piece you are currently stitching.

It’s a good thing a DPT shot isn’t needed frequently. The embroidery piece is coming along. For a sick person you have accomplished more than most. I think most would lay in bed and sleep with the cats. <br /><br />Engineers can have a long work life in this day and age. You can say Mike took a sabbatical this last year. He must have a skill set that is in high demand. Experienced engineer jobs are hard to fill in our area. I know an engineer who rode his bicycle into work until he was 83. It was 10 miles each way. After that he drove. He passed away at 94 still on the job, he became ill then passed away two weeks after his last day of work. He loved his job. If illness had not crept in he would be working today. Not that I’m saying Mike will work the rest of his days. It seems to be an option for the right person.

Are we related maybe? Haha. Glad you are turning a corner in your recovery from the shot. I think your grocery plan is a good one, you can tackle the larger shopping when you are back to 100%. Those threads look like they match pretty well, so your secret is safe with me.

Although he grumbled about it, I think he was secretly disappointed when, at about 75, they stopped begging and he retired in earnest. Now, make no mistake, I do not want to work -- I do not even want to empty the dishwasher -- but I envy the part about employers thinking I am So Special (which, full disclosure, never happened with me). Glad you are on the mend, and good grief, it is amazing that you are so good about getting your tetanus updates with as sick as they make you. I'm a lot more lackadaisical about it all even with no meaningful reactions. Just one more reason to admire you.gpchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18054854655973836794noreply@blogger.com
