Enchanted Ornament #18

I got a bit more done around the top of the second ornament last night. Not sure if I'll get any done tonight as I'll be busy packing my bags for my work trip to Perth. I am looking forward to starting my next holiday project which I'll post about when I've got something to show.

One exciting thing I have just discovered is a free App for the iPhone called "Mouliner". It allows you to keep a record of your threads and create lists (eg: wishlist) so when you go to the shops, you can avoid doubling up on colours. I spent a little while last night going through my threads and adding them into the App. I have 445 DMC colours which means I'm missing only 51 (doesn't seem to include varigated colours though). It can also calculate fabric requirements and give thread colour equivalents between Anchor - DMC - Gamma - Sullivans. I haven't heard of the last 2 brands, but just for recording the threads in my boxes, it is useful enough for me.

Happy Stitching,
Kerrie

  2. sounds like a great app. i am so guilty of going to buy thread and end up buying what i am drawn to in colors versus what i need. erg!
