I had a GC at 123stitch and they finally listed the Needlework Press EF sampler, so along with Becky's Family sampler I will receive a happy package next week. But what about linen? WDW Beige is out of stock, so I added 35 Wichelt Lambswool. I swore I would never dye linen again but the Beige is a little too green, and the Lambswool a little too pink. I quick dipped the Beige in a very diluted red to tone the green and it's perfect. The pinkish one will be quick dipped in a very diluted green. I always cut a small corner off to test first and completely dry before comparing the change.
Both top pieces are WDW Beige and the left one was dipped, original on right. Is there a true non-pink non-green non-yellow neutral that I could try? That's like asking for an off white paint without a cast! My Country Mocha is too pink and I don't care for heavily variegated linen. I have a piece marked 28 count Natural, it's not unbleached but a very nice light tan and I love it but it's very old. No idea whose linen it is and Natural in most means raw or unbleached so ordering would be a disappointment I'm sure. I have a piece of 40 in a yellowish shade and violet/purple would be needed to tone it which I am not messing with. Maybe I will offer it.

Thanks to everyone for offering to send floss!! I am done with the 919 and still have a 6 strand piece left so I'm fine. Today is the last day of Michael's 30% off website sale so I may stock up and place an order. And to Betty, you are no-reply so I cannot offer any help to your question. All the free charts of mine are listed on the FREE tab, Pears on a separate tab.
About the caregivers. Karen works for a private company that contracts with a local county agency and clients that the county never got to. It takes them months to go through applications and qualifications before approving people for help, and most are told there is no money for new clients. Home health through the hospital for released patients and some government health agencies may still be working but my sister's agency told her the visits will stop. Maybe I am incorrect in assuming they all will, I hope so!
I made nalesniki (polachinki) and the bottoms are too browned. I hate that. I like them soft, like cheese filled pillows. Monday I am going for another vein treatment followed by an ultrasound Tuesday and then they will close for several weeks. My US for the Monday treatment should be a week after which they can't do, but I am going forward anyway. Wednesday will be nutroll day. I sure hope my dough cooperates because that grease spot on the wall where it lands is hard to remove.
Stay safe and well!!
Thanks for visiting.

Will be thinking of you on Monday. Hope everything goes good.
Love your mention of the grease spot. Gave me a chuckle for the day.

Woah, obsessive compulsive highly technical jargon today! 😆 Love it even if I can’t follow along and so thankful you are posting.
Our governor gave us 26 hours before the "shelter-in-place" mandate started. Like your area, all non-essential businesses are closed and "non-essential" employees are to be off work. My hubby is considered an "essential" employee and is still working. My mom has a caregiver that is still able to work as they are considered essential services. We are permitted to go out for gas, groceries, medical services, postal and delivery services, etc. Good luck with your procedure on Monday and the ultrasound on Tuesday.
Marly: It is amazing how fast things are changing because of this virus.
I hope your treatment does well, I have a couple of veins that need help.
I hope Carole will be okay without their visits for a while.

"...grease spot on the wall" :) Thanks, Marly--sure needed the smile today! Best of luck with your vein treatment tomorrow.
Did someone say nutroll??? Do you ship??? And hmmm....I have never heard of nalesniki (or polachinki for that matter) (yikes...that made my head work trying to remember the spellings from your post LOL). Best of luck with your treatment tomorrow. I am really surprised it hasn't been canceled....and hmmm...not sure I would want to go anywhere close to any place medical at this point. I have a great record of going in perfectly healthy (well, as "perfectly" as I get in that department) and come away sick. Will be thinking of you. Brave soul you be with that dying business.....
