I will be receiving Donna's to work on soon! Here's a link to our RR blog if anyone wants to follow our progress. Today is has rained all day. We are having a really poor summer. I can remember some hot weather back in April for a few days....maybe that was summer LOL. It has been a much needed quiet weekend. On Friday night i went to see Hairspray at the cinema with my friend. I loved it, John Travolta was really funny. Yesterday DH and i watched Click on dvd and didn't enjoy it that much. Tomorrow is a local holiday and i have the day off work! Woo hoo! DH doesn't as his company only has UK wide holidays. I am meeting a friend for lunch and hoping to go swimming in the evening. Speaking of swimming....i am trying to swim at least once a week but preferably twice. With the rubbish weather ive not been out on my bike much and i gave up my gym membership because i rarely went so i need some other exercise. My mum has been coming swimming too which is good as i probably wouldn't go by myself.
Now look what arrived in the mail (yes, an actual mail delivery!) on saturday
Heather read this post on my blog after we had returned from Canada in June! I do miss Swiss chalet. Heather, thank you so much, it did indeed make me smile. You are very kind! Now if could just send me some Maple Dip Donuts from Tim Hortons and some Dill Pickle Lays my Canadian food cravings will be over LOL, just kidding!
*Edit* Can anyone tell me if there's a DMC with different shades of green? Like the red DMC 115?

your piece of the RR looks lovely. Sorry the postal services leaks to work. I hate when this happen.
Love your picture of the rainbow. Very pretty.
Hi Cheryl :)
Love your RR! Did you the alphabet I sent you? or is that another?
That was sweet of Heather...and hmmm dill pickle lays...
I think there is a green DMC similar to the red 115, but I'm at work, when I get home, I'll look at my DMC color card and let you know!
HUGS!
I also think there's a varigated DMC, but I don't have those in my stash so I can't say for sure.
Your RR is looking great. Good luck with the awful postal strikes!
Sorry you're still having poor weather. It's been sunny here today, probably the hottest day so far this year, it's actually too hot to stitch LOL!
Lovely work on your RR, hope you get your stash soon.
Thank you for stopping by my blog. Wow you have some great stitching here. What a nice RR.
Your RR looks great!! The rainbow is so cool:)
There are some varigated green DMC...92,101,114,122,123, and 125.
Postal strikes must be so frustrating! Your stash will arrive soon enough though. Your RR piece is looking great, I can't wait to see it done. :)
I've used DMC 98 before, Variegated Avocado, on this bookmark. Not too bad.
Sorry, make that DMC 92.
Your RR is looking wonderful.

HTH.
Your square is so pretty, I love the Daisy cottage theme. Sorry you're having to wait so long on your mail, having stash coming and having to wait for a mail strike would be the pits. Have fun on your day off.

The green floss your looking for do you mean a verigated floss? If so I may have some.
Love the rainbow & maybe you will get some summer soon. Happy stitching.
The RR looks so pretty!
Your RR looks great. I hope the postie gets to you soon. When I order something I want it the next day, lol.
I hope your stash arrives soon. Do postal strikes happen often?? I think your RR is going to be adorable. I think I'll think about joining on in 2008!
I don't know about the DMC but I can check if you want.
Love the rainbow.
pretty rainbow...I don't get to see them very often.
Your RR block is looking great...the design tyou cose to stitch is lovely
Oh man, maple dipped from Tim Horton's! I'm not even really a donut person, but, man, do I miss those! I love your square... and the picture of the rainbow. I'd be happy to send you some of our weather, 98F (I think that's 37C), muggy, and just bleh!
Your RR looks awesome. Nice job ;)
I sure hope you get my rr on time! It better! haha I'm working on my Fair & Square until I get Edgar's linen. Plus the band uniforms, I had 40 to do, down to 26 now. I'm working my days away!
