BFB

Or Big Fat Bummer. I got a note in the mail yesterday that they aren't going to be making Jo-Ann Magazine anymore. I really liked getting this magazine and usually found some project I wanted to try in each one. It had a nice balance of sewing and other crafts and showcased a lot of stuff that the Jo-Ann stores have. Dave asked me if there was a replacement magazine that I could get and I can't really think of one. Most of the others are very specific to a certain craft (beading, knitting, crochet, etc.) and I liked the fact that Jo-Ann had bits of a lot of different stuff. Plus, Mom C. usually got me my subscription as a present and it was cool to have that to share.

Weak! Is it just not selling enough?

PS. There's a new crafty magazine coming soon - adornmag.com. Apparently one has to call during business hours (how archaic a system is that?!) to subscribe, but it does look like it'll have some neat content.

Actually Joann sent me a copy of Adorn as an option for the rest of my subscription. Perhaps it's my disspointment with Jo-Ann, but I wasn't impressed. It seems dumbed down. A lot of 'no sew' options and painting fabric stuff. Unfortunately that's not what I'm intersted in. I think I will opt for the refund instead of getting it. I just wasn't that keen on it.
