Brand new Joanne store

The Joanne near us closed down a couple of months ago to move into a bigger location...and WOW! It sure is bigger! I think they opened up a week ago. It looks more like Michaels now than Joanne! Tons of paper crafts, and they even have painting and wood stuff! But there's also loads more fabric and fat quarters, including wool felt. Yay! Hancock was the only place that had wool felt before and the colors were seriously limited. Well, the colors Joanne has now are pretty limited too, but they have colors that Hancock doesn't, likewise Hancock has colors that Joanne doesn't. So it's pretty much a full spectrum now. I would love to use wool felt but I just don't have the money for it. Buy more of my stuff everyone! Hahahaha! Also there were a few new colors of acrylic felt and they can all be purchased by the yard now as well.

There's also wool roving in colors people will actually want! Hancock has nice earthy brown/grey/black colors, but hideous primary colors. Now I can buy lovely pinks and greens and yellows!

My mom was excited about the new assortment of bag handles.

Out of all the new stuff, the best one IMO is...safety eyes in all sizes! Before they only had HUGE 16mm ones, but now they have them from 6mm all the way up! 4 pairs...for a buck! YEAH! I could only ever buy them online before but now I can get them whenever I want, for a buck, and no shipping! WOO! Seriously this is gonna make my week. If I ever want colors other than black or brown I'll have to get those online, but seriously, I never want other colors. So I am happy. They're the plastic washer type, and I prefer the metal type, but hey, I'll take what I can get.
