The Urban Craft Center - The Return
So Regina & I spent our Sunday at the Urban Craft Center. Anyone who reads this blog or hers knows that we go there. But, unless you've been there lately, you haven't been.
Holy.
Crap.
I'm moving in. Seriously. I'm buying an Aerobed and just moving in. Mom can take care of the dogs.
The space is gorgeous and the shop they opened...they have fabric that Michael Levine doesn't have. Yeah, that's right, I said it. And I bought a yard of it too. The shop & space are pretty much the stuff of every crafter's if-I-won-the-lottery conversation. Its fabulous. They have like every crafting book. I haven't seen anything like this in any of my knitting/crafting travels. They have supplies and gifts and stuff you need to buy me. And, their prices are exactly at suggested retail, unlike other places I've been to that have tried to charge more.
Now, I'll be perfectly blunt and say that I'm waiting for the next wave of classes (mostly because I've already taken the ones in the current group that tripped my trigger....do the soap class, its fabulous.) Although if they were to do some of the holiday Martha Stewart project classes we talked about at Felt Club (hint, hint do a simple stuffy class before Christmas...I need to make at least one!), I'd be in for that. But, otherwise, I'm waiting for the quilting class in January that's been tossed in front of me like a carrot on a stick.
So, until the website is fully functional, get on their mailing list (they only send out newsletters so you won't be bombarded with stuff and they're super protective of their people so they don't sell you out) or better yet, go visit. They even validate.

YAY! It's back. I can't wait to go.
That's a perfect location for them. I hope they get lots of walk-in biz!
