My Stitching Area

I was feeling tired tonight, so I didn't do any stitching.  I thought I'd share a photo of my stitching area. I have a reclining chair but most time it is not reclined.  My ott light with magnifier was a birthday gift a few years ago from my sons.  For Christmas Dave made a black wooden base that is on wheels to put under my lamp, so I can move it closer to my chair while stitching.  I found a chart holder on Amazon (but now my LNS Stitcher's Place has them in stock) and of course my scroll frame floor stand.  As you can see this photo was taken a few weeks ago (Jan 31) while working on Snowman Wisdom.  I like to watch TV shows or movies while I stitch.

Shopping in April

I found this cool gadget while shopping on Amazon.ca (I live in Canada).

Thanks to CraftyCat for introducing me to this other gadget ... Snag Nab It.  I  was able to pick this up at my LNS (Stitcher's Place) along with a new pattern book from Stoney Creek and a tin can that I keep my needles in.

Birthday gift part 2

I didn't get to stitch tonight. By the time Dave & I got home from Costco, had supper, did the dishes, and then I called my mom. It is now after 10pm and it is time for bed.

For those who read my blog, you will know that my sons bought me a new cross stitch floor lamp and magnifier last month for my birthday, but the magnifier was on back order... it finally arrived today!! I had time to install it on my lamp, I will try it out tomorrow night.

My sons bought me a new stitching floor lamp for my birthday. The magnifier is still on backorder. They bought it on www.Amazon.ca (I saw it in person at Mary Maxim in black).
