Thank you Thank you for posting an update!!!!

I'm doing the exact same painting from SQ and am only 1/2 way through page one.

When I start getting worried that I made a mistake I sneak over and look at yours for assurance!!!

Well I can't really help with Manhattan (I work on 8th ave but live in SI) however I can give some advice on Staten Island; yes it is a ferry ride away but there is a A.C Moore store out there that is great. The Michaels on SI seems to be unable (or unwilling) to seperate their DMC floss by number ...

Warmest Welcome from New York City!

I 2nd Lili; very, very pretty

Just Stunning!!!

Not sure where you live but here in NYC people sell their handmade items on tables set up in the parks etc. Not sure if you would get what they are really worth (time/labor/supplies) but you could see what others are selling and what they are asking?!?! Just an idea.

So pretty...silly question from a newbie. Are those white 'dots' beads or (I think they are called) French Knots? I'm working on a peacock I got from a book at my library and was thinking of putting just a few beads in his feathers to catch the light!

Welcome from NYC. I'm a newbie too!!

Have you looked at Scarlet Quince? They seem to have a lot the same pcs as Golden Kite but the price seems better. I have a Georges Seurat Quince on my "my birthday is coming up and my hubby better have gotten the hint" list.
If you get a GK could you post at let us know your thoughts?

I have always wanted to try this painting but haven't gotten up the nerve as of yet!! I just enjoy watching yours progress!

You have small children and still have the patience for something this complex? Kudos!! I had to wait until my twins were in college before I could re-start my stitching projects!!

Love the colors!! Please send updates!!
