There must be a gremlin loose at this time of year. I bought a replacement spool of brown thread for the stash and a spool of lime green thread for matching nightgowns and pj's for my granddaughters and their dolls, which are to be for Christmas. Also, a new tape measure for my daughter as she is still using a cotton one that is no longer accurate! (Sort of goes with the underwear and socks giggle--something she needs but not very exciting.) Can't find those items anywhere. I finally found a spool of acceptable lime green in the stash and finished the project with less than 12" of thread on that spool! Get Grandma another gift, relax and then make the angels into something for her birthday. Hopefully they will come out of hiding by then.
