Crumpets anyone?

[celticdragonfly]

I'm looking at the Tea Rose color Cotton Fleece yarn I have to make a dress for Maggie out of. Looks like this dress is the one I'm going to do:

I'm trying to decide what color beads to go with - try to find a contrasting pink? Lilac? White?

Also wondering if I should order them to be mailed to me, or if anybody knows of a good place in the DFW area that sells size 6 glass seed beads? I don't know much about beads. Points for being on the FW side of things.

(http://www.northwestjournal.ca/IV2.htm) refers to "modern size 6 (4mm) seed beads", among a lot of other info on beads that I didn't know. 4 millimeters looks like just over an eighth of an inch, according to the ruler in my desk drawer.

Oops. Forgot the link to the website I was quoting. Here (http://www.northwestjournal.ca/IV2.htm). It doesn't have much to do with your project but it did explain a lot about bead sizes.

The dress pattern looks nice; I'm sure Maggie will look cute in it
