At the very least she'd have to have a dirty face and hands, maybe some
smears on her dress, and a basket full of goodies.........

anyone else?

Her hair could be tied up with Ghirardelli ribbons. She stores floss
bobbins in Godiva boxes. No, I'm not describing myself; while I have
put the ribbons in my hair, I do NOT use floss bobbins. I keep jewelry
and coins in my Godiva boxes. ;-)

Mine are in a pretty Whitworth`s tin - that copper coloured "special" one
that few across the Atlantic to me!

All my Watercolours threads are in a pretty gold Marks and Spencer biscuit
tin, and other speciality threads are in a red and gold Thornton`s Special
Toffee tin.

Does an angel with loads of books all around her count?? If so, I have been
designing one for over a month already. A librarian friend requested it...

Whycome *I* never thought of storing floss in tins? I have a bunch of them,
all empty, none used. I shall change that this weekend! Thanks for the
thoughts, Pat!

Wow - I never knew a Lugana Snob <BG> Unfortunately I know lots of Linen
snobs - you know - "my count is higher than your count" LOL

Well, I'm likely getting some software to do some Counted Thread designs in
the fall. Being a MAC person, software more limited, but had some good
advice from Jennifer at Dragon Dreams, and when I make the plunge, maybe
I'll do the design with chocolates in the packaging - or part of the
embellishment pack. Embellishment for the stitchin' and the stitcher.

Oh, I do lots of counted thread myself. Mostly linen, some Jobelan, Lugana -
I think they're faster to stitch on because of the roundness of the ground
threads.
