They would have LOVED that! <br />As for Marianne, I love the colors you have chosen. I vote for dunkin' the Navy Bean, if you are more of a warm color person. You'll be happier.Marniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00314779394140189885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673669836911036500.post-87823731033065051732011-01-23T19:49:12.546-05:002011-01-23T19:49:12.546-05:00Happy 18th to your Tyler - love the boy/mom kiss p...Happy 18th to your Tyler - love the boy/mom kiss pic! I can't believe my Jordan will be 18 this year either.<br /><br />I like the colors - but I love really overdyed fabrics under it - where it really shows. I guess coffee or tea would help that. I love that I am only 40-45 mins from a real store with linen! <br /><br />Good luck!Sherry :o)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16747069007845394339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673669836911036500.post-66004314391548064172011-01-23T10:26:50.258-05:002011-01-23T10:26:50.258-05:00Happy birthday to your son!!!

Happy Birthday Tyler!!!!<br /><br />I think that I like the colors you picked for Marianne much better then the original ones. I think they're going to look a lot better.<br /><br />And your FS looks great - hear you on the monotonous black stitching. And I think I saw myself in your sampler - the double EE thing.

There was a green in that first conversion that made me cringe! LOL<br /><br />I still need to decide what I'm going to do with her. I'll have to make a fabric choice first. Of course I'm also trying to decide what to do about James Wilson. Decisions, decisions!<br /><br />Can't wait to see your first stitches!Terrihttp://sewcreative.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673669836911036500.post-76193390764338693562011-01-21T14:47:58.480-05:002011-01-21T14:47:58.480-05:00Happy birthday to Tyler!

I like the colors you've chosen for Marianne - much more like the photo. I'd love to have seen the comparison though of what it was charted for. I think Vintage Lt. Examplar might give you the warmth you need rather than the greenish hue.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15055538119434258693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673669836911036500.post-25759790875589042202011-01-21T12:39:37.399-05:002011-01-21T12:39:37.399-05:00Happy Birthday to a handsome young man!

May he have many more :)<br />We did the exact same thing with the bottle and treasure map last summer on our beach vacation, however instead of the bated breaths and screamed exaltations...I had three "big" kids rolling their eyes while one "little" kid was digging frantically and telling them to hurry up and help! Not quite as lovely a memory as yours and Tyler's but funny and memorable in its own way I guess.... :)Vonna Pfeifferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483344299817504410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673669836911036500.post-70654407726645781232011-01-21T12:08:10.026-05:002011-01-21T12:08:10.026-05:00Happy B-Day to Tyler !! 18 is an important age an...Happy B-Day to Tyler !! 18 is an important age and I am sure you have precious memories of his life. <br />I love Marianne and I think you did a great job with the treads.

I was doing so good on blog reading for about a week, and then...who knows what happened with my time, I certainly don't.<br />I love the new conversion with the over dyed threads. So much better!!!!! Sometimes I pull the colors, and I think, "Really? Did they really use these colors, or did they forget to write it down, and now they are guessing?" LOL<br />I think you should dunk the fabric too, because the picture sure seems to show it with some variation, and some brown tones. I say go for it. What can it hurt?<br />I've missed you so much. Your pictures on the frozen lake are darling. You are the cutest thing! I want your coat! <br />We have been frozen over for a month too, except this week the temps have gotten up into the high 30's, so most of our snow has melted. Now it's just plain ugly out there. I'm ready to run away to a green tropical island!<br />Have a fabulous day. I can't wait to see the progress on your chart. I would love your conversion too, because I definitely want to buy this chart for my stash.<br />Hugs to you dear, sweet Terri!Lorainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16099740341363729893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673669836911036500.post-3667546269956257712011-01-21T11:43:51.161-05:002011-01-21T11:43:51.161-05:00Don't kids grow up so quickly?
