Today's SBQ was suggested by Renee and is:
Do you do your stash shopping at your LNS, ONS, or both? Which do you like better? Why?
Since I live is a small town and don't have a credit card I do all of my shopping at my LNS. Shopping at my LNS can be a major pain in the rump because they don't keep a lot of specialty threads and beads in stock so I have to special order the stuff in via the LNS. She doesn't charge me anything extra but I could be waiting for the stuff to arrive for a couple of months!

Even though it's a pain to order through your LNS, it's nice that you do support her. I lost my LNS last year, so now wait to shop for the times we go out of town. But my stash is pretty adequate, lol!
What an excellent start - you have much courage to work on that stunning TW piece :-)
It looks amazing. I am sure the letting looks spectacular. Bad kitty for messing your threads up though:)
It's looking awesome already, Dawn!
This project is looking great! Can't wait to see more. :D
Fortunate traveller is looking great! Over one does get easier with time. I alwyas find my eyes and hand need to adjust to it then I'm off stitching!
I'm lucky my boys (cats) aren't interested in my flossies! That must be a pain!
how I envy you... I'm yet to try stitching over one :D
Wow! You've really done a lot on that one. I love that piece.
Fortunate Traveller is looking fantastic - I love that design :) Your other new starts are coming along quickly too ... I love seeing your progress piccies :) I have to admit, I'm not a huge over-one fan, although I adore the look of it ... I did a class in the US once with Jodi Merusi that taught us to stitch the over-one like canvaswork (tent stitch?) so it has a long arm on the back of the fabric ... makes it soooo much easier to pass your needle under for starting/finishing threads, and stops the little stitch from disappearing - also means you can use your normal XS method of going along the whole row, then coming back to finish it, instead of having to do each stitch at a time ... great trick!
