On the whole, I have very little to complain about. The move has been good. We're doing fine. The kids are adjusting well. My only true sadness is a petty one. JoAnn Fabrics is 35 minutes away. yep. There you have it. No more quick trips to get something to finish a project. Can I get a moment of silence? I totally took for granted her proximity to me in Columbus. So, after a moment of depression, I looked things up and found a Hancock Fabrics really close, so I bounced back a little. I headed there only to find an empty store. All Hancock Fabric stores closed in July. This is when the true depression set in. Gratefully, there's at least a Hobby Lobby close by. The fabric selection is small and expensive with very few good sales/coupons, but at least I have some options when in a pinch.
I went to make a last minute quilt when I realized I didn't have any batting anymore. I keep forgetting how many things you have to replenish after a move. Anyway, I had one day before a baby shower, and I wanted to do something for her, because she and her family are adorable. They sit behind us in church and entertain my baby. Luckily, Hobby Lobby pulled through for me and I found some cute flannel to make a receiving blanket. I guess it's not all bad in the world of sewing.
I always like an excuse to use a different stitch. Today I chose a wavy line.
Love the receiving blanket. I do those when i need a quick gift in a pinch. Our Hobby Lobby has 40% coupons almost every other week and they have an app which makes it even easier. You can use the coupon once a day during the week it's good. We don't have a Joann's because we had a Hancock Fabrics, but now that they are closed Joann's is coming here. I don't buy a lot there, but I do like their notions and supply boxes.
