Looking for ~older~ GAST floss ~ Gingersnap #7034

Hi sweet friends ~ hope everyone is getting in some stitchin this weekend:) 

I posted this over at the 123 board with hopes of a reply or two.

While visiting our LNS yesterday, I discovered the dye lot for one of my favorite go-to flosses has changed ~ well pooh, don't ya hate when that happens!

The ~older~ GAST Simply Shaker ~Gingersnap~ has a definite reddish/rosey cast to it, not the copper-brown shade currently on the shelf.

I'd appreciate trading/purchasing a few ~older~ skeins if anyone wants to de-stash theirs.

I've a nice selection of overdyed flosses to offer in trade.

Maybe I should also post this over at Never Enough Stash, plz wish me luck on my search!

Finger Lakes Summer

Hi there sweet friends!  Sending a sweet summer welcome to a couple new followers, glad you popped in cause it gave me a chance to follow a couple new blogs myself!  Need rain desperately, needed it 3 weeks ago ~ not just for the lawn, garden, water table and critters, but because like so many others, our home's income depends heavily on the weather ~ please send us a good long soaker Rainman.  My heart goes out to those who are sufferin the wrath of inclement weather gripping the USA, take comfort in knowing you are in our thoughts from afar.

Asparagus Mail RAOK ~ While pickin asparagus some while ago I went to fetch the mail (yep the mailbox is near the garden) and found this!  Thank you oodles dear sweet Barbara (To Stitch Or Not To Stitch) for the gorgeous pinkeep, oh-so-handy project bag and specialty fibers.  You're too generous, these goodies are a huge treat, I'm ever grateful for your friendship and guidance:)

A Special Sweet Hello ~ to a very dear maple leaf friend who has been missing for quite a while.  I've never forgotten your warmth, kindness and patience when I began my blog.  Your friendship has been truly missed and I'm over the moon happy to see that you're inching your way back into blogland.  I sent you a message through blogger 7/18/12.  Hope you and family are well and thriving! 

Finger Lakes Hookers  ~ Rug Hookers Guild of the Finger Lakes had their Spring show in May.  I don't hook yet, but do adore all things fiber so I lolly gagged around, picked up a nice piece of wool for stitchy finishes, enjoyed this show immensely.  The members were warm and friendly and shared a vast and stunning display of hookings.  I've never seen these anywhere and thought them to be most uncommon, hope you likee:)

For the Halloween lovers, these were soooo life-like it was spooooooky, about 4 ft tall, amazing work...

 

Seriously drooled over this whimsy style rug, approx 4 x 4 ft.

The colors and detail were amazing, truly a modern day fiber gift for such an old design to come life in 2012, I couldn't pull myself away for the looongest time.

Pattern called Fantasy from Womans Day magazine 1946-1969...

Cookin ~  One of my fave summer meals, do ya think they're burnt?  Shhhhhhhhhh...don't tell the fire dept, but I like 'em charred:)

Swoonin ~  Mr. Springfield comin to town August 1st, quite lovely for 62 don't ya think, just sayin...
