THREAD!!

Today I went to the craft store and bought some embroidery floss for my cross stitch stash.  A LOT of it, too.  Well, at least more than I've ever bought at one time before!

I was buying mostly for patterns that I have and am *attempting* to use for presents (1 week to go!).  There's also some that were just too pretty to pass up, such as that bright turquoise on the left and lime green slightly over.

Now, onward with the frantic gift cross stitching!
