LindsayLuu said ... congrats!! That's quite an accomplishment.


Shannon said ... Oh my lord. I'm writhing with envy right now.


Lucy Locket-Pocket said ... WOW! I'm dead jealous now! Lucy


greetingarts said ... Oh, the sheer joy! I once was that happy and content, too... but alas. They went and made MORE! :0)


Sherpa said ... All the colors, that's awesome.

I'm um, super envious and I'm not even half-joking either.


Amy O'Neill Houck said ... Aren't there other brands, varieties? Isn't it time to branch out? :-)


plaidshoes said ... What an accomplishment! How many is that?


beruta said ... wow!you`re a very lucky woman!
What a coincidence! My last post is about the present a friend gave me, material from the haberdashery her parents used to own!!!c


mimi k said ... wow, you lucky, lucky thing! I can totally relate to "needing" to have all the colors, just to make sure after all... it is not like paint where you can mix up the right blend :-)


SisterDG said ... I think this makes you the President of Craft, or something similar.


Alex said ... For a minute I totally forgot the doctor told me to breathe in through my nose... but then, I might have forgotten to breathe at all... gosh, Alice!


Sara said ... When I was a kid I shopped for floss at a local mom n' pop hardware store and theor display looked JUST like that! They used to order colors for me when I couldn't find them.
Can you imagine? Specially ordering 15cents worth of dotton for an 8 year old!
Congrats on a "full set" ;)


Kate said ... A dream come true (I'm not joking either!)


Bitterbetty said ... To Quote my former self:

Kuky said ... Wow awesome!


Marietta said ... so not fair! i am jealous and i do not embroider


crafty carolinagirl said ... Wow! I can only dream of getting all of the DMC floss.

I love how you have them all organized. Did you use something specific or just little plastic bins?


Inger C said ... Congratulations! What's next to collect? :-) (you now, it will never end this feeling, I have the same itch with tiny glass beeds - must have all the colors)
Love your site! You make lovely things.


Deirdre said ... Now it's time to get a bunch of white floss and dye it with Kool-Aid.


est said ... this is so superb!!!


Claire said ... Wow! I'm awed and impressed.


AmberCake said ... Wow. That's so satisfying.


amandajean said ... wow. that's a lot o' floss. it's so pretty all sorted by colors.


Daphne said ... Okay, that is a pretty nerdily craftily cool accomplishment. If only I were even organized enough to utilize the floss I have!


jessica said ... wow.
beautiful rainbow colors.
all neatly organized.


Tsoniki said ... *sigh* What a beautiful picture!

When I was younger I had TONS of that stuff - I'm sure I tried to get every color but doubt I did so. After I went to college my Mom overed on my collection. LOL

 
sarebear said ... I'm just getting back into cross-stitch as well as branching out into other forms of embroidery, and I cannot find my floss that's been stored safely (I made sure it was not stored in a shed or in deep closet corners) anywhere!!!! a year ago, I had pulled the three or four floss boxes full of wound floss bobbins full of them out for something, and I guess they didn't get put back. I remember considering sending them to the thrift store, but NAH, I knew I'd get back to it!!!!

So, nothing for it but to start collecting all over again, since I can't find those. That's ok (sob!!) since I'm going to use DMC's Stitchbow Storage system (using 40% off coupons at various craft stores . . . .)

Still . . . all those pretty colors, I had 4/5 of the colors they had out at the time, as of around 1995 or so . . .!!!
