a.c.moore ?

I've just been told that they will be opening an A.C.Moore just down the
road from me. Can anyone tell me if they carry any needlework items at all?
I looked at their website and couldn't find much of anything.

I would be happy if they only carried some DMC floss because soon they will
be the only game in town. Michael is a bit of a distance and unless I'm
desperate they don't have enough to make it worth the ride. Wal-Mart, is
closing the craft/fabric/needlework department soon and they were the last
place that was reasonable close that carried DMC.

Oh goodie!! At least I'll be able to pick up some odds and ends there, plus
it looks like they carry all the same kind of crafty things that Michaels
does.

When I lived in North Carolina, I found that AC Moore was always
cheaper for DMC threads, compared to Michael's. They also carried
quite a good stock of bits and bobs. The only kits I remember buying
there were the Bucilla felt stocking kits, though. But it was always
fun wandering around the shop and looking at all the different crafty
things. Good luck with your AC Moore!

I've found I prefer A.C. Moore for 90% of the stuff I get. Michaels tends to
have models and other "kid" crafts and (depending on the store) more paints.
And Michaels has clearance aisles where you can find all sorts of thing you
didn't know you needed. (I have bought any number of bamboo knitting needles
there for gifts and some neat yarns)

A.C. Moore is as good as Michaels for floss, etc. (i.e., not that
great but ok) and is much better for yarn and knitting. They have had
some really interesting yarn lately!

Thanks for good news. We've been watching that site for several weeks
wondering what was going there. Of course there were rumors about all sorts
of boring business like doctors and lawyers, etc.

Happily, the rumors were wrong and there will be an "inexpensive" little
department store, a better "moderate priced" clothing store, a Circuit City
and the A.C. Moore. They're almost ready to open the new Staples that's
right across the road and the new Target that's a couple of miles from here.

Now I can sell my car, buy a golf cart and never leave my neighborhood. lol

Groceries ?? --that would mean I would have to cook something, and then I
would have to clean up the kitchen. If I did that, how would I have enough
time to buy pretty clothing and stuff I don't need for needlework?????

I should introduce you to DH's buddy. Except he could seriously use to spend
some money on clothes. He wears stuff I wouldn't use as a rag.
