At first I was searching for a unique place to hold a 10 year old's birthday party. I decided to…read moretake my two daughter's to see what they thought. We ended up walking thru the store and finding all kinds of interesting beads. One daughter came to me to show me these magnetic beads and my other daughter at the same time brought me a magnetic bracelet and we all looked at each other intrigued with the possibilities. We asked Lydia the owner about the bracelet and offered for us to make it in the store. Lydia took both girls ages 8 & 9 years old thru the steps and the girls spent an hour and a half or a little more figuring out the beads they wanted to use, pattern and colors and actually beading the wire. Lydia was great. Very passionate and knowledgeable. Overall we were there over 2 hours between walking the store and picking and making our bracelets. Now fast forward and we just celebrated our daughter's 10th birthday and all 14 girls enjoyed themselves. They can't wait to go to school and show off their bracelets! Lydia and her assistant Lynn were great. Overall it went well and the parents were raving at the quality and beauty of the girls bracelets. We will be back to learn how to make other bracelet styles. Thanks Lydia and Lynn for making our daughter's party so special. Sincerely, Carolyn M Sicard

Overpriced babysitting. Sent my child (10 years old) to this camp over the summer because after…read morereading through the entire website, believed I was paying a premium price to get her next level art lessons or at least to try the pottery wheel and/or use different kitchen tools. The campers were not allowed to use either. They did "miniature" day, every day with either cooking or creating clay objects. She was only allowed to use a small amount of any product. She did not have fun and was bored. She was doing way more art projects at another regular day camp (at a quarter of the cost). After reading all the great reviews, we were really disappointed. If all you want is baby sitting, you will most likely like this place but if you have a budding artist, looking for something a little extra, suggest looking elsewhere.

Stopped into Hobby Lobby in Foxboro out of curiosity--probably shouldn't have. The store feels like…read morean odd blend of AC Moore and Michaels, with a confusing layout that randomly incorporates furniture, fabrics, and home décor. I expected something more in line with actual hobbies--like model kits, remote-controlled cars, or electronics--but instead found aisles of artificial flowers, seasonal decorations, and generic craft items. There's a vaguely Ocean State Job Lot or Christmas Tree Shops vibe in parts of the store, which makes it feel more like a discount décor warehouse than a true hobbyist destination. Not sure what I was hoping for, but overall, it's pretty dull and uninspiring. If you're into scrapbooking or wreath-making, maybe it's for you--but if you're looking for actual hobby supplies, you'll probably leave disappointed.

However, I was encouraged to jump right in and I am loving it! I just signed up for my 2nd 5 week course. I find all the staff there to be friendly and welcoming.

Five stars!

This place is worth a stop if you're a fabric lover. The shop is small and has a decent selection…read moreof fabric, but I didn't see any of the big designers represented (Lizzy House, Robert Kaufmann, Alexander Henry, Rowan, etc.) and admit to being a name-brand fabric shopper. I would rate this shop higher for convenience but for two things: 1) the staff was not very friendly or helpful. I came here with my mom (I'm almost 30, btw) and they ignored me in favor of trying to sell things to her - and she's not a quilter. Customer service fail. 2) Their work space is incredible. It is so big and would allow so many people to meet and sew together. Unfortunately, there is no open-sew night (even if you bring your own machine). You have to pay $20 just to hang out. I think it's a missed opportunity for cultivating community and loyalty in your customers. Let people bring their machines and sew here for free, and leave the shop open - I promise people will buy stuff! +Good batik selection. +Massive work space with a longarm machine. -Only open after normal work hours (9-5) one day per week.
