September Vlogs Day 15 ~ running on Dunkin, old sampler, new start!

Summary AI

Tanya begins her vlog with a pumpkin hazelnut Dunkin' iced coffee and a bagel during a work break, sharing a funny story about having to replace her straw after her cat jumped on the table. She then introduces her latest cross stitch start, the sampler "Dorothy Snowball 1814" by Threads of Gold. She explains that she discovered these older charts are now available from 1884 Stitchery and shows the rich threads she has chosen, including a possible extra bright shade for occasional pops of colour. She is stitching the piece on natural 28-count Cashel linen rather than the creamy fabric used for the model, and has already begun the central flower after starting in the middle. Tanya notes that the verse must be worked over one thread, which she intends to save for last. After returning from her church women's circle dinner, she spent the evening stitching and is delighted with how the deep colours look against the natural background, particularly DMC 500, which appears almost black in certain light but is a lovely dark green. She closes by showing the satisfying progress she has made on the centre flower.
