Wow! My 1000th Post! What a milestone!
And what better way to celebrate #1000 than with my latest progress on “Fairy Flora?!” According to my sophisticated guesstimation system, I think I am nearly 75% complete with this beauty. I love, LOVE, L-O-V-E stitching her and that is all I am going to say! 
And now… The SBQ! Normally the SBQ would be on holiday in celebration of the 4th of July (and Canada Day for my Canadian Readers! 
) this week, but since I didn’t post a question last week, I am not taking the week off.
This week’s SBQ was suggested by me and is:
Do you consider yourself a “floss miser?”
I thought of this question one day while I was stitching with those last few millimeters of some DMC and wondered why I was torturing myself with that little wisp of thread. However, I realized in that instance it wasn’t that I was so concerned with saving the floss; I just didn’t want to start a new thread when I only had three of four stitches before finishing the row.
I’d say that I am not really a “floss miser” when it comes to standard DMC. When it comes to expensive threads like overdyes, silks, or metallics though, that is a different matter: I am definitely a floss miser then! I guess when I stitch with a $3 skein of thread I look at things a little differently as opposed to when it is a 39¢ skein!

Your piece looks absolutely beautiful! And congrats on your blogging milestone!
Mine is up! Or, rather, I’ve written it and told Blogger to publish. Blogger swears it has, but really it hasn’t. Grr.

Fairy is looking beautiful, I can see why you’d enjoy working on her. I noticed you said that you had self-dyed the fabric, you did a fantastic job on it, it is perfect for her.
