In which JoAnn's has a sale

After x-mas sales are for stocking up.

A couple of nights ago, I was cutting out the curtains for our new bedroom. When I was ready to sit down to sew them together, I discovered that my humongous roll of black thread that I know I own has disappeared. In my studio, it's not really a surprise. Since the sewing machine frequently goes on the road with me, I suppose it could be in a suitcase somewhere. This of course meant that I had to go to JoAnn's. (Picture the dramatic pose.)

Right now, my local JoAnn's superstore is having a sale. :-) Up to 70% off of a great deal of their stock. 40% off beads, suplies, and accessories. I stocked up. Unfortunately, trims were not on sale, but the thread was 30% off, which is three bucks on the size of black and white that I buy. I got a bead storage container that will travel, and I should have gotten two. Picked up some findings for hair things.

So, I'm half-stocked with beads. I still can't make anything except perhaps some hair bobs, since I still need some basic things like black beading cord and silver wire. I have a Fire Mountain order ready to go, but at $175, it'll have to wait until payday.

I'm pretty focused on the bedroom right now, since I'd like to finish it before I leave this weekend. Speaking of which, while the sun's shining and it's not too windy, I should go outside and finish painting the curtain rod.
