Now when my wonderful box of threads arrived from
Handy Hands recently I must admit that I was a tad disappointed when I opened it and saw the Rainbow Splash that I'd suggested. It didn't look half as pretty on the ball. More to come on Rainbow Splash in a day or two.
I then took myself in hand and reminded my other half (BC3) of something that happened a few months ago. An online friend who was then running an online craft store here in the UK emailed me to say that she was selling the business and did I want any Lizbeth threads at a reduced price. Well I had a look and bought £20.00 worth (to get free postage) and was pleased when they arrived - having chosen carefully, of course.
Life moved on for another month or so and she wrote again to tell me that she'd just got a few left and that they were even more reduced. I looked and thought for a while about the colours left. None really appealed to me. Anyway, I thought 'what the heck' and ordered the rest of her stock. I realised that they'd come in useful for trying out new ideas anyway. Well, when they arrived they weren't as bad as I thought they'd be - in fact they were delicious. So I'm now firmly convinced that you can't judge a ball by it's looks!!!
This is Rainbow Splash on the ball. Wait til you see it made up. Your eyes will pop!
