So, a Hobby Lobby just opened near me...I went up the other day to check it out and holy cow is that a big store! It's right next to AC Moore and pretty much right across the street from Michael's so I was surprised there would be three crafty stores so close to each other and afraid it would drive my AC Moore out of business. But, well...now I'm not so sure I mind! Never been in a HL before so I was pretty amazed to see how big their selection is for a lot of sort of niche crafts and things that are either not represented or only barely present at the other stores.
Anyway, I wanted to mention it here because they had a display of those rolls of tulle - TONS of them in lots of colors. Back when I made my tutu I got them at AC Moore (and I checked Walmart and Joanns to see if there was a better way to do it) and the selection of colors was very limited. My pink/purple/blue tutu was practically my only option using bright colors, especially if I wanted the colors to go together at all.
But Hobby Lobby had lots of bright colors, including SPARKLY TULLE. So if any of you girls are planning to buy those rolls of tulle for tutu-making, you might want to check Hobby Lobby if there's one near you. They were on sale at my HL, I don't know if the sales would be the same elsewhere or not.
(By the way, I dropped off a job application there today - so with any luck the new Hobby Lobby here might make it possible for me to go to Bonnaroo! And you can bet I'll enjoy the employee discount there if I get hired. First up: some of that sparkly tulle so I can make a sparkletutu!)
I love Hobby Lobby! I was actually there just yesterday! I tend to get distracted by... well, everything. So I never made it over to the fabric/tulle area. Oh darn, guess I'll have to go back!
Hobby Lobby!!! What a great idea. I totally forgot about them. I found better colors of tulle rolls at Hancock Fabrics the other day. So I grabbed a couple bright blue rolls. Now I have to go to HL. YESSSSSSS.....

Yesssss go get you some SPARKLE TULLE. They actually had polka dot tulle too, but it was black and white and the dots were really small so I didn't think it would actually work so well. I feel like by the time you had enough of it all layered together to make a tutu, you wouldn't really see the polka dots too well. But idk, it could still be cool, especially paired with hot pink or lime green or bright bright blue or something like that.

ok, I'm bringing lots of thread, my machine, some notions such as pins, measuring tapes, etc...and a few cloth scraps.
I have some extra bobbins from prior machines and so I'm going to bring those to share if anyone can use them.
Also, my one GOOD pair of sewing scissors, a chair and table...damn, I'm going to look like I'm moving...lol. My family already thinks I'm nuts for packing off to Nashville to visit people Ive only met online. They just don't get it.
I'm going to a couple of fabric stores tomorrow, so Im getting some tulle.
Anything else come to mind? those of you on the FB event site have my # - if you are coming and have a special request pm me on here or hit me up via FB
Thanks ladies! Went to the doc this morning, now waiting for the results from the x-rays. He's thinking it's just badly bruised, but it still hurts a lot even if there's not a fracture.
I will still bring my machine. Even if I can't use it, someone else can (which will show me how it works!).

I will have GF, and daughter without machines who want to learn so extras will be nice.

If it is not out of your way I would like two reds and a white.
Seriously work the RICE. When I fell I was sure that I had broken my right wrist (nope just my left shoulder and elbow, ha ha) because it hurt so much. If your doctor has offered you anything to help isolate it that can help as well.
I think I have a new regimen for you W.I.I.I. Wine, Ice, Ibuprofen and Inforoo!
And sorry for the double post - i was so taken aback with JHo's injury that I forgot to tell everyone - I went to Hobby Lobby today..............
...........
I may have spent a ton of money on sparkly tulle. I may have also gotten mad that they were out of neon green tulle, and briefly considered putting all the tulle back as a 'protest' that someone had cleared out said neon green tulle. ....but in the end, I bought up a lot of sparkly tulle.

I have nothing for this sew-in except a machine How awful am I? I've been super duper busy with work this week I haven't had a chance to go anywhere really. But it's ok, since I really just want to learn how to use my machine more than anything else.
And Mayo, don't worry, I won't cook I have been worn out from cooking by that baby shower I had last weekend. That, and running around with work everyday from 7:30am-10pm hasn't given me any time to go to the grocery store.
Wow, this is cute! I'd like to fill one with flowers...or those plastic glow in the dark bugs? Or you could sew glow swizzles inside, like stripes... (I've been looking at the glow section of Oriental Trading, forgive me!)

oh . . ooh . . oh . . . over here pick me pick me!! Yes please!!! I cant remember if its on here or facebook but holls found a smiley wine there that I would like to try a bottle or nine of
If they have a decent Riesling I would like a few bottles (2 or 3). Do they have their own wines or is it just a liquor store section with a bunch of stuff?
