BFF SAL 14 - error 504 Denied

All last week I was itching to stitch 504, the lighter shade of teal on the vase. But my thread box showed it absent. 

No matter, says I, I will get some at the shops.  On arrival at the shop with hubby in tow, proceeds to the DMC rack. 503, 505 says the labelling!!  Oh bother she says in the voice of Winnie the Pooh.  It's been discontinued.   Alternative located as 3813, and thankfully present and purchased. 

So this evening I got to stitch all of that colour, which turned out to be not a lot.  On going back to 503 I discovered that I ought to have replaced that whilst picking up my 3813.  Grrrrrr I hate running out of the thread I most want to be stitching.

I shall look through the entire selection of required threads for next week and replace any needed,  as it made me most cross with the pattern through no fault of its own.

  1. I hate running out of a thread color, now they are creating new colors and discontinuing others, makes it hard if you need the color you are working on.
    Nice start on the vase.
