Okay, I received the second order, 2 days earlier than projected, which is fantastic on what turned…read moreout to be a sort of ling timeline for delivery, based on past deliveries from. Sister business in same area/if not same company. I had order single stones in sets of 5, that were quite expensive and received a couple stones that were awesome and unusable-which, would be my complaint *pending I find out any of these orders are glass or compounds rather than the natural stones that are advertised. The 3d turquoise clover in 10 mm *which also, was 8 mm~one stone was not usable. These are stones not on a strand but instead orders of 5 or 10 counts. I expect nicer quality. A strand will have stones that are chipped, not cut or drilled properly but if I am purchasing a loose stone, I want to be able to use it. I dont mind the stone size-I am using g the others for some pretty earrings but sizing is off, on everything. I am ordering a couple more strands because I am making very pretty bracelets but I cannot tell a customer, with confidence, these are genuine stones, so I can't price accordingly and will not break even for these collections at this point. I just dont want to lose money on returns or bad publicity. So I will say this-if you are purchasing for art/crafts and your gifting or personal enjoyment, this is a terrific hub to purchase. The stones really are pretty and fun. You can make BEAUTIFUL jewelry/crafts, for sure. I WILL order again. I am aware it is possible some are not authentic as listed. They have nice sales. If you buy 500 plus, awesome discounts. I recommend this business 100%, with caveat-this is likely not jeweler authentic stones 100% of the time. If you are just making fun stuff-who cares...the stones are pretty. *I do want loose stones to be as nice as tgey can be is my only complaint

Jessica the instructor is a great guide, flexible, informative and patient. This class isn't cheap but they supply ALL THE ART SUPPLIES and we've painted in acrylic, oils, and watercolors and drawn with charcoal and pencil. Paper, solvent, linseed oil. I was really nervous the first class, but the piece turned out better than I expected. I find the class calming, almost meditative.

I told her not to expect a tip at the end of the tour. Smile. We stopped at Escape Fine Crafts & Gifts (Escape) to peruse their wares. Quite honestly, we were in and out a number of shops pretty quickly that had a lot of stuff. I am very overwhelmed when there are too many choices. Escape has gifts and home decor items that are handmade from throughout the United States, representing 300+ artisans. Some of the items include light fixtures, baskets, cutting boards, jewelry, blown glass items, pottery, mixed media wall art, outdoor metal art and chimes. Escape had some very striking pieces and purchases appear to be unique, one-of-a-kind ones. Net, net, they have a lot of cool stuff, and I am convinced if you are looking for a gift, you could find it there. I made a small, low cost purchase as I did not want to lug a lot things around the square. Way cool store...look forward to visiting again.

The self checkout machine was also easy to operate. We don't go into Michael's often but it's a pain free experience every time and so far this store has kept it that way

When…read moreyou walk through the front door, it's a good idea to stop and pick up a copy of their sales sheet. You can also check out the sale items online from week to week. Their sale items rotate almost every week so if you have something in mind, if you can wait long enough, it will be on sale soon. What's nice about this hobby lobby is how well organized, clean, and well stocked it is. There is a custom framing department here and their premade frames often go on sale. There's a lot more to see than just craft items here, it's a great place to find gifts for everyone. Plenty of photos for additional information.

They really enjoyed it, came home each day with big smiles and a lot of enthusiasm. My daughter saved the food she prepared to bring me a little light lunch (which was actually quite delicious) and my son devoured all of his. The main advantage of the class vs. training them myself is that KH is a dedicated teaching kitchen. They are equipped and staffed to show kids how to prepare many dishes over the course of a week, whereas I have the time, energy and ingredients to maybe teach them one thing. I'm glad we signed up for this and will be back next Summer for another class or two.

However I think I took for granted just how lovely my LQS is until I started participating in the "All Texas Shop Hop" and experienced OTHER shops that I realized just how much of a gem we have. Fabric and Notion Selection at Poppy's is really great without being overwhelming. On the fabric side, I think there's a good balance between the blenders, batiks, and other quilting fabric compared to other stores I visited that were extremely heavy in only one type. Everything at Poppy's is of the highest quality so you can feel confident that it's money well spent. I've taken a few classes that were all taught by a true experts and artisans. I especially appreciate the Michelle is considerate of the variety in clientele, offering most classes both during the week as well as weekends. I love how every time you walk into Poppy's, you are greeted with a smile and a welcome. Look, I know that every time the bell rings the "Welcome to Poppy's" phrase is said loud and proud... and yet, I still feel like they are truly welcoming ME in. As a person instead of just another customer or worse, an interruption.

I have to be honest, Hobby Lobby is my zen place, my nirvana, my little slice of Heaven on earth…read moreevery time I enter their doors. As usual, my visit with my sister and niece the Saturday before Easter went well and lasted much longer than it should have because I always peruse every. single. aisle. (I might miss something if I don't-crafters, you know what I mean, right?!?) Anyway, our party headed up to the register, chatting away and laughing with one an other, having just a great time being present in the moment and looking forward to our upcoming holiday day with the family. Then, it happened: the cashier, who was clearly not having a good day, did nothing more than mumble my total when I checked out and then was downright nasty to my sister to the point that she asked her if she was ok as the girl scanned her purchases. The question seemed to exacerbate the bad mood, so we just walked away. She very obviously did NOT want to be there. Talk about a mood killer! I was so bothered by the interaction that I called the manager from the parking lot, who seemed pleasant on the surface but obviously just wanted me off the phone and seemed put out that he had to take a customer call. I told him what happened, explained that I'm sure she didn't really mean harm, but that he had a clearly upset employee in the most customer facing role in the store. I thought maybe if he knew, he'd want to do something else with her time while she was in such a bad state that day. I don't know what action he took, if any, but I did try to help. This was disappointing, but it won't stop me from going back into HL, which is one of my favorite places in the world. It definitely gave me pause and makes me wonder what she must have been going through that day to be in such a horrible mood. Also, I might check out the location in Georgetown, instead.
