Changes. Difficult to do on larger pieces and much easier to do before starting the stitch. But I made that decision late and the main reason for the changes.... I'm not fond of initials in stitchery, have never added my own. They occupied the center area which required several moves to fill. But who the heck is S.C.? Lori's would be L.B., and it took quite some time for this dipstick to realize they are the chubby guy's in the red suit.
So here I am, ready to add the star motifs, and I want to remove the ecru and stitch his beard in white so it shows better.
I made a huge purchase blunder several years ago, a pair of used DR Dimes red crackle bow backs. I could never afford new, love the style and color, but the paint is coming off very easily. VERY easily and they are rarely used. How could I sell them like this?
It's raining slush, very bad road conditions.
Winter crap. Or.... winter. Crap.

I didn't make the initials-Santa Claus connection until I read this. I also don't get the reason for the dates, except on reproduction samplers. Why put a year of 18xx on something designed in 20xx? Unless it's to mean 1874 style santa? Regardless of my ponderings, it's a cute chart.
How old are the chairs? They look like someone had a screwdriver in the back pocket when they sat down. I wonder if the company had a bad batch of paint? Or the chairs were not properly prepped before painting.
You can sell your chairs on Craigslist. Best wishes for the New Year!!
When I list things on our Craig’s List equivalent in Canada I’m totally open about the condition so no one hassles me. So “paint chipping, lovely chairs” would still attract the truly keen.
We had several inches of snow but the roads are clear and the woods are absolutely gorgeous.
I would buy them just like that.
It's all about the details, no? ~rlb~
