Well, I just ordered a part of the threads I will need for “A Mon Seul Desir“. The list given to me by Scarlet Quince says I will need 243 skeins for the piece if I do it on 18-count (which I will). This is a bit more than I will actually use, because for many colors I will need only part of the skein, but because I have no supply of my own, I will need to buy everything new. This morning I ordered 200 skeins of thread (through an eBay seller). I also ordered two DMC bobbin boxes and a total of 212 bobbins. I also ordered the DMC labels for bobbins. And the nerd in me is looking forward to organising the 200 skeins :D.

Two days ago, on November 18th I ordered the “A mon seul desir” pattern from Scarlet Quince. Today I got the shipping notice, so I will be expecting the pattern next week. I have been preparing everything else I need to get started. Things I need to buy are fabric, thread, new needles, new scissors, some sort of frame, magnet board for keeping the pattern clear, etc. etc.
I promised myself, that when I was ready to start working on the white in my Super Mario Cross Stitch project I would order and start setting up the follow up project. Well, as can be seen from the week 15 post, I am already well on my way with white, the piece is almost finished, so it is time for a new project.
