Well I started out grocery shopping and doing laundry at the laundry mat. Big blankets that don't fit in my washer. While my washer was going I took a walk in an electronics store and found this. It is originally supposed to be a music book stand BUT it is perfect when I am sitting on the couch stitching, to hold my charts. The best part is it only cost me $12.99 on sale. Only difference is that mine is black, not red like the one in the picture here. I love it when I find stash in unexpected places.
It really has been a good week. I also won a table top Ott light from EBAY and recieved that already. Can't believe how well I can actually see the holes in my material now with proper lighting. Would love to have the floor model but it is so expensive to ship them here and I have no craft stores near me at all. So for now this table top one will be just fine.

Um Lynn what was a music stand doing in an electronics store? Just wondering is all but a great idea for holding your charts and seeing them. Doesn't lighting make all the difference. Mind you I'm so old I need the magnifying one anyway. Have a good stitching time with your new toys and now I"m off to bed so night night xxx
I say electronics store but it has a bit of everything.
Well isn't that the neatest thing! Good for you and you've got a great imagination :o)
I love my Ott lights! I can't imagine stitching without them now. LOL!
Lynn,
Great to hear from you. I knew I had not seen anyone from Campbellford lately but I did not know you had moved to NS. Jennifer was in with your Mom a few months ago but I guess we had other catching up to do.
I am hoping to be able to put pictures of some of the NAshville stash on my website but since we are here in Port Charlotte and have only dial-up...I am not sure if the uploading will work too well...we'll see!
Keep in touch
Ann
