"Roses" in the snow

That's genuine Wisconsin snow there, with a fresh batch of my HDT "Roses" crammed into a glass vase on top. Just finished stocking my Etsy shop - with the hand dyed thread, not the snow (grin).

What a wonderful way to display your gorgeous thread! Are you sure the snow's not for sale? ; )

Valerie said...

I love the roses in the snow. Beautiful picture. You know I also love tatting with your rose thread!

Very pretty! Love the presentation!

Marilee Rockley said...

Thank you, Heather - I'll keep an eye out for those bookmarks.

LOL, Diane - if only the folks who have more than enough snow could figure out how to sell it to folks who "need" the snow - don't think it'll happen in my lifetime, oh well. Yet another 4-6 inches of the fresh stuff today...sigh.

Valerie, I'm glad you find the colors cheerful!

Thank you, Tattycat. If I recall correctly, you are one of those folks who'd love to get the snow included :-)

TattingChic, glad you like the picture. I am lucky that the sun happened to be shining at the time.

Tattycat said...

You are right. I am one of those folks who would like to get the snow included!

What a wonderful presentation of colours. Your roses HDT really does brighten up a snowy day, but then again so do all your HDT's.

Tia said...

OH YAY, Ihave been waiting for this color to come back!

very pretty Sherry.

Thank you, RainbowRose, but I'm not Sherry, I'm Marilee :-)
(Please don't be embarrassed, it's a very common mistake, LOL. We both make HDT.) Sherry's blog is at

Unless you mean the other Sherry, she also has a blog

Are we confused enough yet? LOL!

Clyde, I'm glad to hear that the HDT brightens your days.

So, Tia, you are the one! I knew somebody had asked for the "Roses" HDT to come around again.

Elizabeth said...

I was very glad for it too as I just went to use some the other day and to my horror was out of it!! Thank you for all your wonderful threads.

Lovely Colors. I really like the opportunity to buy Roses in a group of solids. Have to check my 'thread budget'. LOL

Tia said...

Yes that was me :) after I saw your Blog post I went straight to Etsy *lol* now I just have to wait for the postman...

Marilee Rockley said...

Thanks, Elizabeth, I hope you'll be just as pleased with this new batch.

BJ. glad you like the availability of solids. I think there are all sorts of creative possibilities by combining solids, and/or white, with the variegated threads.

Thank you, Tia, it's on the way!

Tia said...

Heavens Marilee, do you put wings on your packages? It arrived today!It Is Georgeous!

Bonnie said...

Oh my goodness! I'm so glad Roses is back!

Marilee Rockley said...

Tia, the totally amazing delivery speed is all due to the efficiency of the U.S. Postal Service - those hard-working folks deserve a big round of applause!

Thanks, Bonnie. I like how this batch turned out, too.
