On a happier shopping note, this is what I got at Jo Ann's sale today!

Jo Ann's Fabric store was having a HUGE sale today, continuing on until next Saturday. HALF off all sewing thread!!! This was my opportunity to stock up on thread for plying. I also bought a cute little stand for my threads (30% off), some beads to string on while plying (also 30% off!!) and some beading needles and threaders. Yaaaaaaaaay! And they all look so pretty together! I might have to go back for more before the sale ends.
