I was truly desperate, pulling out my hair; couldn't see anything; talking with the little holes to stop hiding from me; the lights weren't helping when hubby came with the brainwave. "why don't you use your headlight?"
So off I went in search of my camping head-light - hey, it couldn't hurt, could it?
Okay - stop laughing already!! I might have looked like a crazy person but it DID do the job. And will be doing it in the future until I can afford (and/or find) the right kind of lamp. I was totally amazed at the difference . . . I have been making it difficult for myself for no reason . . .
What a difference a little light made! As you can see the little flowers in the angel's hair is taking shape. I am very happy with my progress this weekend. Quote: Madness takes its toll. Please have exact change. ~Author Unknown
I use a magnifying lamp. It has a magnifying glass with a lamp light around it. It makes things bigger and brighter! There's no way I could stitch without some sort of help like that. I'd think the camping light would work great.
ReplyDeleteProgress is looking beautiful.
ReplyDeleteChrizette that is so funny! My DH has one, I wonder where he keeps it..
ReplyDeleteGreat idea - I'm all for improvising - using what's available to get the job done!
ReplyDeleteChrizette, I had a problem with light since we are having to change over to these energy saving light bulbs in Europe. They are useless for stitching. Before I bought my floor lamp for stitching, I used a "Daylight Bulb" which fits into a standard ceiling fixture, or table lamp, which you can have on without the shade. They only cost 9.99 GBP. They sell direct online.
