Last night I went and saw Mamma Mia again with several friends - had a great time aside from the drunk ladies behind us who thought that they could sing and that they knew all of the words.....not even close! Zori said that she at first thought that it was me singing, but when she listened, she realized that even I don't sing that bad (plus I know almost all of the words by heart!)
As said in the last post, here are the pics of the stash increase:
Not shown in the thread from Jackie is an additional 2 units of the middle color.
The Spanish yarn was all decently priced except for the thread - for some reason purchasing thread in Europe for embroidery, cross stitch and even the crochet threads are all really expensive. I thought to buy a skein of Ecru size 10, but they wanted 9€ for a normal size skein!! And the DMC crocheting floss was 1.50€ per unit! Close up pictures of the spanish yarn is available here: http://photobucket.com/albums/y109/kaml2000/Misc/
Heather - working with thread is not as scary as it seems! I would really suggest trying it - start out with a simple doily pattern or a bookmark pattern that is faily easy - you will fall in love with thread before you know it! I just started in the past month myself with thread! I know a lot of ladies from C'ville are trying thread out for the first time to do the bookmark swap!

Wow! Great stash supplementation! So, what are you going to make with all that? :) -- Your SP
I love your stash! I can tell you like the sparkly stuff. You have a great collection. Sounds like your outing was nice as well.
I can't wait 'til I get my threads from Jackie - all these lovely pics I'm seeing on different blogs are making me itch to see it in person. :)
Oh, oh! Belated congrats on your award! How exciting to be recognized for all your hard work. That sort of thing doesn't happen often enough in the workplace.
