Thanks, patty

My collection of family suff will go to my cousin's daughters & includes some family craocheting & embroidery, including a doiley my mother never finished & I saw why when I tried to do so. She couldn't get the brown & one small section she tried with a similar brown stood out like a hen's tooth when I looked. We have a great charity shop that sells old craft stuff (The Sewing Basket!) & they didn't have the shade. I even asked a friend who vacuums up threads. All my stranded threads are in a biscuit tin, her browns are in several thread boxes - she has at least one box of every colour.

My apartment walls & shelves are crowded with interesting things I've made.
