I love michaels. My mom used to take me here. It's nostalgic down to the common pine cone scent…read more But what has it become? There is apparently one lady working here, no greeting as I walk in with two little kids, then it's time to check out, $80 for a few crafts. and I have to check out all the items while white haired lady presides over the registers in silence, no help of course, and not even a word until I'm almost done and she says, do you want to buy a bag for fifty cents? That's her choice job now, I guess. So then my 4 year old son is helping put the items in the one bag and the box of crayons bottom falls out. "oh, looks like one of them broke" is all white haired lady says. Not a "let me get you a new box," or any help picking them up, or even a light hearted joke. Why is this lady here except to create an environment for suffering and be the arbiter of it? It would have been a much better experience if she were gone. Michael's does not pay me to do self check out but if I have to do it, I'd prefer there not to be a cold, silent matron making you feel like you're doing something wrong and having you pay for a bag you didn't ask for. Never coming back here.

I absolutely loved my experience at Newport Needlepoint! Deborah was incredibly friendly, patient,…read moreand efficient. Since this was my very first needlepoint project, she gave me so much personal attention and made the whole experience fun and easy. She helped me choose my first canvas and all the threads, set up the frame for me, and even taught me the basic stitches -- California to Maine, Maine to California, and NEVER Florida to Washington! -- plus the French knot! Deborah is truly a sweetheart and made my first needlepoint experience so special. I also love the concept of the store: you choose your canvas and threads, then you can sit around a communal table, work on your project, and meet interesting people along the way. It feels creative, social, and welcoming all at once. Such a wonderful experience. I loved it and can't wait to come back!

My daughter and her friends loved it, and the finished pieces will be a special keepsake from the celebration.

First time here and we will probably go back to Color Me Mine next time. Booked a party of 6 kids,…read moreand paid the $60 deposit. When we arrived, they told me there is also a mandatory 18% gratuity. First, that is legally supposed to be disclosed clearly and in advance which it was not. The kids picked out their paint colors and then we found out that your location was out of (six) different colors that they wanted and they had to settle for less appealing options. The attendants were slow to replenish the paint and acted like it was an inconvenience, even though they were getting a "mandatory gratuity". They could have been nicer and more friendly. One of the colors they "replenished" was not the same color as we got at the beginning even though we asked for the same color # and the attendant even checked the # to make sure, and one of the kids ending up having two different colors of paint in one section of her ceramic piece that she was really disappointed about. When we asked the attendant how we could fix it, she said she didn't know and literally walked away mid-conversation to help someone else. She clearly did not care about our party once we sat down. My bill was almost $300 and the mandatory gratuity was $49.32 which was absolutely not worth the service we got. I doubt we would come back to your store since we never had this issue at Color Me Mine.

A family situation…read morecame up, so we called ahead -- we were told on the phone that they would take us as long as we got there within 10 minutes. We rushed. My wife got out of the car and was at the door inside that window. They wouldn't let her in without me, and I was still parking. I walked in 11 minutes after the start -- one minute past their cutoff. There were maybe four to six people in the room. I explained the family situation involving my son. I told them it was our anniversary. My wife was distraught, and I pleaded with them and tried to reason with them. They turned us away anyway. We weren't asking anyone to slow the class down or stay late -- we would have caught up on our own. My wife left humiliated on the day she had planned as a gift. I get it -- you have to run a business, and you have to start on time. But she was there inside the window you gave us and you wouldn't seat her. It came down to one minute and two people standing in front of you, and you chose the minute. The class started without us. So did the last impression I'll have of this place.

What a creative way to spend the afternoon!…read more I was part of a Turkish mosaic lamp class hosted at Art Masterclass. First off - it's definitely harder to make them than it seems. lol If you have option paralysis or get overwhelmed easily, prepare yourself! Look at alllllll the colors in my photos available to use and maybe plan ahead. They provide templates of different floral, geometric, and banded designs that you can use, but you can go off-script if your noggin comes up with an idea! They give you a decent amount of time to create a design, glue said design in place, and then fill the rest of your lamp's empty space in with the tiny glass beads. There are a few final steps you can't complete while in "class" but that's due to the glue needing time to sit. You're not left in the dark however, as they show you a how-to video which is included in your take-home kit via a QR code. =) I noticed this place has other classes that seem like fun (terrarium and some sort of small dish painting?). I may need to return. Notes: - You interact with glue so you'll likely get messy. - There's a restroom to wash your hands, or if nature calls. - In the small bead fill-in time frame, everyone drops them. It's human. It became part of the experience. Aim for your tray!

There was definitely something for everyone with prices on all spectrums. I bought myself the prettiest new journal and a couple fun cards for my friends.

On a busy Sunday afternoon, I found myself circling the parking lot for almost 30 minutes before getting lucky enough to get a tight cramp spot. The store is located to the left side of the super market. They had an assortment of pens, notebooks, and art supplies. I was able to get some goodies from here. Again, the store can be cramped, a little warm, and hectic, but you walk out with really good finds. I feel their price point is pretty reasonable, and their selection is great considering the size of the store. Staff is nice and seems helpful. Overall, cute Japanese stationery store to visit for all your stationery needs whether you're a seasoned artist or beginner. They have everything for everyone. My favorite was their journal selection, they had many good brands from Campus to Midori. I'm sure you will find something here.

Today, I brought my son and he really enjoyed how his project turned out!! I'm already trying to plan to bring my Daughter-in-Law - who lives out of state - when they come out for a visit! This is one of those projects you go in thinking, 'Oh my! Am I gonna be able to do this?' ... then you walk out with an amazing piece of art that you created. And if you have any issues while you're working on your project, either FiFi or her assistant are walking around offering any help you need! They also offer other classes in the next room over - I'll have to check it out and see what other classes I can try. But for now, I really enjoy this Rug Tufting class!! Can't wait to come back to do another one!!

I'd highly recommend coming to Soft Land for anyone looking for fun arts and crafts projects to try hands on! We're looking to come back for their stained glass workshop in the future ^_^
