Magnification

Standard

Today I pulled floss to start a quick stitch-an adorable Christmas fairy in a book I got a few days ago. It had been on my Amazon wish list a few years. I think it pleased Bri not to have to run around too much this year. The book was less than $4. Anyway…I was looking for that fluffy flossy stuff for the fur part of the fairy’s outfit and ran across this big magnifier that you wear around your neck. I use to ‘poo poo’ it, but tonight-well it was pure magic. I stitched quite a bit of her head and the stitches were so tiny and neat.
magdevSo I recommend-using some sort of magnification device to save your eyes and make some pretty stitches.
I had a hard time getting to sleep Friday night. I think it was the couple of wine spritzers I drank-I don’t touch sugary stuff to drink in the evenings. I had good intentions to stitch the day away, but I just vegetated.
Sean was nice enough to bring us some yummy Five Guys burgers and then went out with his old HS pals. We’re kind of waiting on him now. ; )

And I ran across this site on Flickr-someone else was playing with their photos. Here’s what I made:

  1. Niek got me a Daylight bulb for Christmas, and yesterday we purchased a (cheap) lamp for it from Ikea … so last night I could use it to stitch by for the first time and it was AMAZING. Suddenly I could see all the holes! It was … clear as day. LOL!
