I went shopping at Scarlet Thread yesterday. They were having a 15% off sale. So, here's what I got. The fibers are all for St. Petersburg White Nights by Chatelaine. Don't know when I'll start, but it doesn't hit the pocketbook as hard to spread out the aquiring of the fibers. I've been wanting to pick up Nora's new Couture Fairies for a while now. Also, I just saw the new Jim Shore patterns on another website last week and fell in love with the kitties. I had a limited amount to spend. My oldest sister bought a fairy I had stitched (I was going to just let her have it, but she insisted on paying) so I used that for my stash. I had about $90.00 cash on me for this. I had the lady do a subtotal when I got to the counter. This little kitty was sitting there, and once she gave me the amount I threw him in too. Ah, I love stash shopping!

Air Show
No stitching this weekend. We went to the air show at Andrews Air Force Base on Saturday. I took all these photos with my Canon D10 with the 70-300mm lens. I also have a Tamron 1.4 teleconverter on. The first jet is an F-4E Phantom II (my DH is a walking airplane encylopedia)
The next plane is my DH's favorite. One of the main reasons we went. It is the F22. It is really loud when it goes by :-) Beautiful jet though and the things the pilot did with this was amazing. At one point he had it hovering still in one spot at a 45 degree angle. It was so cool!
Yet another of DH's faves. The Starfighters. These are the coolest little jets around! They don't use them any more because of the heavy exhaust and they make this wicked howling noise. They were one of the best at the show.
Of course, you'll recognize the next plane. It is the B2 Spirit Stealth Bomber. My DH says it looks like it was made from alien tech.
This last picture is of the Heritage Flyby. It consists of planes from different generations. They made a nice formation.

All in all it was a great day. The only drawback was when we first got the the parking at FedEx field, we had to go through inspection stations. That took 45 minutes. Luckily, there was a good breeze blowing. It was a beautiful day; clear, sunny, and cool.

New Stash!
I received my Mystic Stitch order today. Boy were they fast. I ordered last week on the 9th. Merylina is my favorite. I was looking at it and I think I can stitch it without the background. I will use a black fabric. I will do the same thing with Night Shade.

Cinderella is my next favorite. It is just so pretty!

HAED SAL for May
I was really bad this weekend. I bought 4 patterns in the Mystic Stitch 40% sale. I'll post a picture when they get here. I also bought 3 patterns during the HAED sale. I bought SPML Cats, Fenech's Dragon Skies, and Wall's Alternative Reality. It's a good thing I'm getting my own paycheck now.

MXI
I'm taking a class tomorrow at a bead store. I won't tell what it is now, it's going to be a surprise. I'll post any finishes I make in the class when I get home. Well, off to watch BG.
