Re: Clearance score at WalMart :>

Wally World doesn't hire sales people anymore. The place is more of a help-yur-self operation and the only help they now hire are stock clerks, which is the reason why nobody knows anything about the products at their stations.

Re: Night Owl, design by Mr. Rick--finished July 19th!!

The pleasure was all mine...

I'm now curious as to whether anyone else will try it using colored material instead of filling in that sky.
I'd like to see that.

Re: Night Owl, design by Mr. Rick--finished July 19th!!

He hee, it's kinda cool to see it 'live'.

I mentioned elsewhere that I've tried water colors, acrylics and oils over the past few years and this particular picture was one of the things I painted in oils.
It's now in cross stitching, too, thanks to Karen. :lol:

Have fun!

Re: What is your favorites?

I use 11ct aida cuz of failing eyesight. I see things better with an off white color or any color but white, for that matter.
I like DMC floss cuz it seems to be the most favorable and easiest to buy locally.

Re: Backwards stitcher

I usually start where I think it's most interesting. Could be top left or bottom right or even toward the middle someplace.
I also turn my work upside down and sideways when I stitch.
