The final choice

When setting this next to the previous finish, I wasn't happy.  Almost distracting, my eye was drawn to that very light thread (top left) instead of noticing the pattern.  And there will be a good amount when completed.  I tried darker than ecru, but still very warm, 739 (bottom center).  I thought 738 would be good, but I can't locate it and it's very close to ecru, 

This is on 40, quite a size difference from my first stitch on 28.  I'd like to stitch a third on 32 count, not sure of colors.  Very stiff fusible was used and it feels like a needlepoint or similar, pretty darn hard.

Went to the greenhouses and ended up with the 3.5" pots of Bubblegum to plant in pots, 3 hanging baskets of the same.  I really wanted bright colors, maybe sunpatiens, but I decided I don't have the energy.  Stick with tried and true.  I may get a few for a wash tub since pots are already filled with dirt.  What snapped my briefs were the Solenia begonias.  The entire table was filled as were all the baskets.  Stunning, gorgeous display.  Never saw colors that were so soft but still saturated.  

And all of this is in the house, waiting for warmer temps.  Night lows in high 30s beginning of the week.  What's happening?

Be safe!  Behave.
