I'm hoping to use some of this beautiful hand-dyed floss by Nell's Embroidery in my Crane Star quilt...
~Floss tagged by TwoFuzzySisters ~
Two names you go by:
1. Floss
2. BFF (but ONLY Olive may call me that)!!!
Two things you are wearing right now:
1. BK for dolls. This outfit was made just for me (I only wear designer)!
2. A dollymolly hair bow (again, I only wear designer)!
Two things you want right now very badly:
1. To make some trouble with my BFF Olive.....uh, I mean to have "fun" with my BFF Olive!
2. Cotton candy! I can NEVER get enough of it! I think I should get my own machine, don't you think?
Last two people you talked to on the phone:
1. I sneaked mom's cell phone and called Olive (we're going to Mexico together)!
2. I called The Candy Store! They deliver! Of course I asked for cotton candy! I think when the credit card bill comes in I might get in trouble though.....Hhhmmmm.......
Two things you did last night:
1. I sat on this danged shelf while mom took some of my sisters to auntie Iveta's house! I wouldn't talk to mom when she came home.
2. Started mapping out my plan to rid this house of the other "pinks"! After all, if you have me, you certainly don't need any other pinks, right??? But that crazy woman says there's more than enough room for all of us! Blah! :0(
Two things you are doing tomorrow:
1. I think I'll reposition myself on this here shelf so I can assert my dominance! Yes, yes, I think I'll do just that!
2. Definitely, I will reap the fruits of my labor and eat my cotton candy! Yum, yum!!!
Two favorite drinks:
1. Pink lemonade
2. Cotton candy martini (the pink one), but shhhhh, don't tell mom, I'll get in trouble!
Two random facts:
1. I like to pull the wool over mom's eyes by jacking her credit card to buy new outfits. Most of the time I get away with it! That woman buys so much Blythe stuff sometimes she forgets what she buys, so all the easier for me, right?
2. Really, I am not a bad little girl, I'm just a little spirited! Besides, I can't be bad if I happen to love "most" of my sisters, right? Although those frogs sure do talk a lot!
p.s. This background is mom's new luggage! We're going to travel in style when we go to BlytheCon! YAY!!!
Five dolls that will hopefully answer this (uh, I picked 6, is that okay?)...
Olive!!!
Gwyneth
Drew!!! Even though she's another "pink" she's my friend!!!

When I was about 9yr's old I used to go with an aunt on Sunday school trips down to Bournemouth or Bognor or even Brighton. After we had eaten our sandy packed lunches I was allowed an ice-cream or candy floss (much to my Aunts disapproval) I can see and smell that sickly sweet intense sugar beauty now,dread to think what it did to my teeth but I just adored it .Anyway this reminds me of that !!!!
this is done with couching down fabric, both w/machine and hand. Embelishing w/floss and beads, about 18x24"

Floss was the rescue baby who came to be in October, I had the pleasure of hand delivering her today which was awesome. I absolutely love how Harmonii styled her and I'm so pleased that I got the chance to restore her <3
Wanted something from the night and it is too late to think properly what to post, so candy floss again:-)
Blue berry flavour with a splash of blood.

My wife rescued a Monarch chrysalis that was attached to a leaf that later fell off the plant. Hung with dental floss it did well and will soon have one of the last Monarch Butterflies of the year emerging and migrating.

The things I do when I am deep in thought! One of the reasons why I spend a lot of time alone =D
This is my storage system for my embroidery floss. The large bin is one I had lying around I think it's a Sterilite brand. The smaller stackable compartment containers are from Ikea.
There is also some room underneath the second bin for hoops and other storage.
I hate winding those little bobbins that are so popular. When my skeins get tangled, I slip off the paper sleeve and wind the floss neatly on my hand and slip the paper sleeve back on. I find that I don't care what the numbers are, I just match colors by eye.
I don't know about you other embroiderers, but I toss out old little strings when I'm done with a project. The mess they make just isn't worth it. I'm thrifty, but not that thrifty.
