    That has been my question for the last month at WM! They are remodeling and in the last month they have moved my department 6, count 'em, 6 times!

    But this morning they had the steel set and today they were setting the pegs for the merchandise! It may not happen overnight tonight, but maybe at least by Sunday they will have it all set and I will have a real department again!

    Today they were also pulling all the clearanced items from the craft dept and moving them to the clearance area of the store! Including ----- the Brother SQ 9000 ! No mark down yet, but it will be soon!

    Yes, for those who wonder - we ARE keeping our fabric - at least some of it. Will have to wait and see what IS and what ISN'T.

    It's been a stressful month so far and there is a month to go!

    Now to relax before I go back to work in the morning!

    I visited our WM this week for first time since remodeling and it took me forever to find things. I went in the evening and not a lot of people to ask. It was an experience.

    I just bought one about 4 months ago give or take a few. I love it!

    Just did a button hole and button with it for the first time - easy!
    Great sewing/quilting too!

    enjoy!

    Our WM was remodeled this spring. I'm still trying to find things. Can't even ask an associate because they aren't sure either.
    We still have a fabric dept. but it is more limited and they have removed the patterns. Doesn't bother me 'cause I don't sew clothes anymore...quilts are more fun. They also don't sell DMC floss either. This does bother me because I like to do embroidery.

    We've not carried anything for cross stitching, embroidery for a couple of years.
    Come to think of it I'm not sure where the patterns were going on our new set. HUMMMM? Shall wait and see.

    They are in the process of re-doing our Walmart now. So far they have rearranged at least half the store. No one knows where anything is anymore. I went in for something the other day & just stood there watching all the people wandering around like they were lost. It was really funny!
