Thank goodness they are only out of state!


Trouble is a brewing!

So this year a co-worker and I decided to make a pilgrimage to Fort Wayne Indiana to partake in the annual Vera Bradley outlet sale.  Guess I should start by saying this is not an endorsement of any kind I just really love Vera, like to the point where I fly half way across the country to go to the sale.  Anyhoo, the real story here is not the massive amounts of Vera I just acquired but the side trip I made while recovering from the massive amounts of Vera I just acquired.  More to come on the Vera later :)

Big event for a crafty lady like myself (or at least I felt it was big), I visited Hobby Lobby for the very first time! Wooo! Talk about a craft store on steroids!  Normally I haunt Michael’s, AC Moore and Jo-Ann’s with my coupons in hand begging for my favorites to go on sale but Hobby Lobby is totally foreign to me.  We just don’t have them in Massachusetts, very sad I know.  I walked away with as big a stash as my very, very full luggage would allow and everything I bought was cheaper (even after tax) than what I normally pay in this area and I was able to pull up their weekly coupon right on my phone to boot!  The staff was great, the store was super clean and organized and the cashier asked me to keep talking (asking me where I pahk my cah…gee I wonder why?!?!) Needless to say my crafty adventure made me very happy. 


Lookie what I got!


 See already in use! Go me!

Like I didn’t have enough projects in the works I just had to use my floss and hoop right away. It is a sickness! I finally got around to using Aimee Ray's Doodle Stitching Motif Collection book and got a practice piece out of the way.  Yipee Skipee!

Thanks for stopping by!
