But I must say that the ones that keep calling me back to your Etsy site again and again are Witch's Brew, Vinyard, Treebeard (I love the Ents!), Helm's Deep and Weeping Cherry. Autumn Orange is a strong pull right now, since I'm itchin' to tat a pumpkin. And Rainforest is PERFECT for leaves.<br /><br />See? It is just too hard to choose.IsDiharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129251975229390303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8016156828945610244.post-55221518410927511472008-10-29T09:57:00.000-06:002008-10-29T09:57:00.000-06:00I loved your story and all your thread colours are...I loved your story and all your thread colours are beautiful. If I were you I would go back to the silk supplier and offer to pay your original price expecting them to refuse. Then turn around and walk out. The next time you go back offer the original price again. If they refuse tell them they can either lower their price or lose a customer. It's a bargaining society and you aren't comfortable with bargaining and they know it. When they see you are serious the price will drop again. They keep pushing the price up because they know you will pay it. When they see that you won't they'll get more flexible on the price.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08893826686654270522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8016156828945610244.post-77322132061093160242008-10-29T09:54:00.000-06:002008-10-29T09:54:00.000-06:00Your colors are wonderful (and so are their names)...Your colors are wonderful (and so are their names). I like the blues and greens best (but those are my favorite colors). As for the silk, I've been scared to use mine -- but want more anyway. Maybe one of your new tatting students could buy the silk for you. If this supplier keeps being such a toad, just go back to the beautiful cottons!Martyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660864900839865295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8016156828945610244.post-78994244358635003802008-10-29T03:45:00.000-06:002008-10-29T03:45:00.000-06:00You have been busy!

I agree, great names that you have chosen. I am currently tatting with Karen's Halo Silk 20. Love the sheen and how soft it feels on the fingers. Way to go, Sherry!Umintsuruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16417562358986210845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8016156828945610244.post-89197697675222970682008-10-28T21:22:00.000-06:002008-10-28T21:22:00.000-06:00I really admire your creative names for your colou...I really admire your creative names for your colours.
