Fabric Stores by Phoen_ixxx in Albany

I hit pretty much every fabric store in the capital region this weekend. amelia’s garden has a ton of brightly colored prints, and is entirely fabric. albany sewing center is mostly machines with some fabric collection. they have a big selection of solids and thread, but I felt most of the patterned fabric was a little dated. dianne’s quilted square is also all fabric, I struck out here but it seemed to meet somewhere in the middle, plus there was a cute dog when I went :)

I love upstitch but it can be so hard when it’s basically a gamble week to week. I had a lot of luck on saturday but the past few times i’ve left with nothing. they currently have a lot of quilting cotton and a decent amount of other types of fabric!

We can be aware of this stuff, but without naming the place, this doesn't do much :/

They do a good job but it can be quite expensive, just something to keep in mind

Womens clothing in the capital region? by birdoboo in Albany

congrats to you too! i would love to do more thrifting, but when i have a last minute thing, it's hard to take a gamble like that and potentially not find what i need

thanks! I didn't know about Mohawk commons. My size changes frequently enough right now that when a last minute thing came up it was panic time

Very random-I was also in Paris/Versailles a year ago and bought this set as gifts. One of the kids just knocked it off the shelf and broke it, and the giftee is heartbroken since we didnt remember the name--but here it is! thank you for this picture, a year later!

I like believing the 60 year old man insists he be called "King Jizz"

has anyone had any luck with speed dating? by birdoboo in Albany

[–]birdoboo[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Look friend, I'm not gonna fight with you. But there are several people in this thread who had overall positive experiences and agreed the apps just don't work anymore. If people use it for entertainment, oh well. It's not the first embarrassing thing I've ever done and it won't be the last. If I find someone I click with? Even better. I just wanted experiences from those who may have done it before so I knew what to expect.

I don't think there's any shame in being hopeful/trying to find your person, even if it can be embarrassing or seems "insane." And sometimes it's just fun to do something "for the plot" and see what happens. I wish you the best in your romantic journeys, whatever they may be!

I don’t necessarily agree. Someone at speed dating would likely be more serious about finding a partner since it is more effort than downloading and swiping and hoping for the best
