OT -- anthracite or lignite?
 

For those of you with people on your list who deserve lumps of coal in
their stockings next week...

World Market (Cost Plus) is selling "Lumps of Coal". Not cheap at
about $4 per 2oz bag, but definitely worth it if you have one of THOSE
people on the list. Jet-black lumps of hard licorice. I bought a
few.

Oh, you brave woman!! A couple years ago I made a lovely cross-stitch
pentacle on black Aida cloth. You'd be amazed just how easy it gets to
do cross-stitch by feel rather than relying on your vision g

You guys are so sweet. Buying candy for folks that do not deserve it.

OK, I guess the reduced postage makes it worth while not sending a real lump
of coal.

A caution about licorice: I know that some blood pressure medicines are
fatal with the combination of licorice. Dr. "just happened" to mention it
one time to my DF.

The best word of advice I ever got about working cross-stitch on black was
to have something WHITE underneath (on your lap) to make the holes show up
better.
