Lots of new crafting stuff at Hobby Lobby
I don't know if ALL of them did, but the local one for me, in Murfreesboro,
TN, has expanded the crafting department big time! They now have beading kits, Tatting supplies, tatting thread, tatting shuttles, needle tatting, a whole new slew of different knitting needles, new slew of crochet hooks, loads and loads of thread and yarn! Used to be one aisle of our kind of stuff, now they have FIVE!!! Happy Dance!!! Noreen who was there yesterday!!! and isn't even going to try list her new stuff!! -- STRIP * tease * to email me. |

The older HLs in my area have been rearranging stuff. I asked a gal
who was laboriously sorting bags of beads (hello? why didn't she just move the pegs with the bead bags in place instead of stripping all of the pegs into several bushel baskets???) what the story was. Apparently they'll all be on the same "plan" so folks can simply walk in and know where to find stuff without needing directions or a map. I haven't noticed my nearest HL expanding, but its in an old IGA building so isn't incredibly large to start with. The shiny new HLs further north on the interstate corridor carry all manner of stuff. I keep expecting to find "fingertip massagers" in there sometime, that's how tacky some of the new stuff is getting...

Lucky, lucky you! I do not know of any Hobby Lobby stores by me in NJ. But
I can say that our local Michaels, Rag Shop, and AC Moore stores seem only to cater to the scrapbooking and decorations crowd. Selections are small for yarns and cross stitch. I sometimes go to the Walmart since they are next door in the mall I go to. They have a nice selection of acrylics. For needle crafts, you need to go online for good selection. I like silver needle, have you ever been to their site? I can get lost there (and go broke there) Gotta hide the bills from DH! LOL Seaspray |

I sure agree that the scrapbooking and rubberstamping crowds are really catered to... Noreen -- STRIP * tease * to email me. |

Hi Sea,
I have to agree with you on Michaels and AC Moore, less and less yarn all the time and what they do have is the new kind. I asked and the gal said the manager from Rhode Island thinks because the new yarn sells so well in big cities that it's popular all over. Wrong, us ladies in rural NY want regular acrylic yarn. I'm going to check out the place you mentioned too. Hugs, Nora where it NOW has started to snow. |

Sea,
I just checked the silverneedle site and maybe we should move near them. What a neat cross stitch store. Hugs, Nora |

I am glad you liked the site. I have no affliation whatsoever, but whenever
I order, I have it within a weeks time. Very nice if you are excited about something! Take care and be careful shoveling. Seaspary - who is now having a rain and freezing rain mix on top of 6 inches of the white stuff. |
