Any color suggestions for the yellows or the red?
I find some of the sparkly ones can be a bit much, but you can get blending filaments that you can mix in with regular threads. That way you can keep the colours accurate and still add some bling.

I have a few of their blending filaments! I'm going to check it out, when I hit the next page! :) :clap:

You may want to consider doing a test patch on some scrap fabric. Sometimes sparkly stuff can be very tricky to work with.

That's the time to put something you can totally escape into on the TV or in your ears and just mindlessly stitch...good luck!

Yahoo! Congratulations! Isn't that feeling of finishing a page just fabulous? :D :D

I had intended on spending all day stitching today, but my fish had other plans. :O I'm 2.5 hours into monster tank maintenance, and counting. :shock: I should be finished in another hour, and then it'll be stitchy timez. :swoon:
