I love when I can go to a specialty store that I have no connection with on a regular basis, and with that "deer in the headlamps" look, only to be greeted by a happy and energetic individual who wants to share their knowledge and love of all things fabric and craft without making me feel like I'll be left to drown in a sea of linens and rick-rack!
I went to JoAnn one evening last week as a last-ditch effort to save my entertainment console. You see, if I had to live one more day looking at the cords and wires and antenna parts hanging down the back open spaces of the unit, I was going to have to say "hasta la bye-bye" to the dated and oh-so-heavy piece of furniture. My plan: find a low cost solution to "hide" the culprits in time for another gathering at my home where others would also be subjected to the awful sight. My solution, as evidenced by a vigorous helping of "atta girl!" from the cutting counter staff: Simple, wrinkle-free, crease-free, not-too-heavy and not-too-sheer black fabric that could be manipulated across, over, and around the unsightly sight!
YAAAY!
And a bonus Yay came in the form of them asking if I had a coupon....to which I frowned and said NO.....to which they recommended I quickly download the JoAnn app and use the coupon that comes with it = 40% off any one item!
Happy crafty non-crafter here!
