As Whiz said, don't panic... I received the following email today from DMC. (I signed up for their mentor program a while ago):
In recent days, there has been a significant amount of information in the form of press releases, media reports, etc. regarding financial difficulties and operational restructuring plans at the DMC corporate offices in France. Those activities and court filings within the legal system in France are directed towards seeking a formal resolution for two divisions within the DMC Corporation (Sportswear fabric and a small chain of retail stores found only in France) that are not related to the embroidery thread and craft activities, which remain the core business of the corporation. In addition, the U.S. division of DMC operates as a separate legal and financial entity with its own financing, receivables, payables, etc, and as such, is not included in any legal filing or petitions to the courts that may occur in France. We are financially secure and fully prepared to conduct business as usual here in the U.S. DMC has been manufacturing needlework threads for 262 years and we remain committed to providing stitchers with the highest quality embroidery floss, specialty threads, needlework fabrics and other supplies they need to continue to enjoy the wonderful art of needlework. We look forward to continuing to serve all of our customers and loyal users of DMC products into the future.

I finished ripping out all the stitching which colors I didn't like and today finally was able to put new stuff back in. Yay me.
Even without the mega-frog, I don't think I'd have been doing a lot of stitching the last month anyway. I've spent the last 30 days setting up and managing a new gaming league that plays in Pogo's rooms. I'd been hosting for another league for most of the last year, but some friends and I decided to split off and make our own. It's slow starting (especially since we decided that we would not actively approach anyone that was a member of the source league) but fun. We really do need more players, though.
So there was functionally NO stitching done in April, which is good cause there weren't any goals either LOL.
Not going to set goals for May beyond "stitch something, anything". I think I can manage that one? :D
