I’ve been forgetting as soon as I send lately :stuck_out_tongue: lol

but @kayrun I believe you mentioned receiving and @Bunny1kenobi I can’t even remember what I sent you but I know I have an ATC to send next time :laughing: Glad you like whatever I’ve already forgotten about :rofl:

And I know I still have more to send to other people… I’m slowly, slowly, slowly getting there! (good thing this isn’t a swap with a due date)

Red, white and black are the colors I stock up on…I can now see what colors I need to buy (I don’t use their numbering system…I just see yellow, purple, blue, etc)because I finally organized my floss!

The only colors I won’t be needing anytime in the future are greens and pinks…I inherited someone’s project stash and apparently, they needed a lot of those colors! lol That will be a lot of leaves and cacti stitching!

I have a cone of black. I should get a cone of red 321.

Do you like the cones? Where do you buy them…I could use a cone of white for my Christmas stitching…almost all of the thread is white…

Until 5 minutes ago I had never heard of DMC embroidery floss cones, but that’s something I need as well! I always buy the biggest spools of black and white Gütermann sewing thread as well. I go to so much of that.

I got mine from Joann’s. DMC sells them direct too. I like them a lot. The thread doesn’t understand so off the cine so it us very tidy.

First offering - plastic pellets

I bought these to use in sensory bins as an alternative to rice or beans. But they are too tiny and just not right for our school.

I thought these would be good for doll/stuffies makers? I can send in gallon zipper bags - US only due to weight and content.

Open to hearing other ideas/uses for them.

EDIT 7/06/21 - I have plenty of these. Please ask if interested.

Second offer - Bag o’ craft felt scraps.

I have this and so much more. I can fill a shoe box or a medium flat rate USPS box. It is 99% polyester craft felt but there may be a tiny bit of wool felt. A tiny amount.

If you have color requests, ask away. I can probably accommodate you.

Great for finger puppets, felt food, dolls and dotees,

Third offer - mini mesh bags

About 4” x 4”. One each of pink, yellow, purple and black. 3 each of blue and orange.

EDIT 07/06/21 - No longer available - I donated to the creative reuse store.

Maybe they would work as miniature bread rolls in a dollhouse scene. :grin:

Don’t mind my messy art table. It’s definitely seen some love over the years. :slight_smile:
