I then decided to work on my little "Acorn Scissor Case" yesterday. I got it finished up before the kids and I left to go to Chuck E. Cheese, which we couldn't go in to because it was filled beyond capacity. They were pretty disappointed (I was not).
And since we couldn't go to Chuck E. Cheese I decided to go to A.C. Moore and get myself an early Christmas present!
I got a Daylight Slimline Magnifying lamp. My Ott-Lite broke a while ago and I've been wanting a new light for some time now. And I've been wanting a magnifying light, so I can stop complaining that I can't see while working on 40 ct. :) I found a place online that carries the floorstand for this light at a good price with free shipping, so I may get that in the future. I would like to be able to take it around the house easily.
Anyway, that's all for now! I started my November Flip-It Bit last night and I hope to get it finished up today. I'm so determined to get these done! Just one more after this!! :) Write soon!
Your scissor case looks sweet! Congratulations on the new lamp! So sorry your lunch plans were ruined! :op
ReplyDeletescissor case looks great and so does Sea to shining sea! That is exactly how it looks out here too, nice and sunny! sorry, i don't have any cactus in my yard though. I hear you about Chuck e cheese, blah.nightmare!
ReplyDeleteboth finishes look great!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very lovely scissor case~~ Your Southwest is beautiful as well~~ I love this chart, and I am determined to get it after I finish moving!!!
ReplyDeleteI'd rather go to ACM than Chuck E Cheese any day, lol! Your LHN project will be so gorgeous--it is already!
ReplyDeleteYou're making great progress on "From Sea to Shining Sea".
ReplyDeleteI like your magnifying light - I have a magnifying light, and I don't know how I'd survive without it! Never mind the 40ct - I have trouble seeing 36ct. to stitch on!
Congratulations on 2 beautiful finishes!! I am so happy to see you got a new mag light! It will make a huge difference for you!! I love it and the price is much better than what I paid for mine! I just couldn't even stitch linen without it! I am so happy for you! Hope your finger is much better too! Debby :)
ReplyDeleteI love the scissor case
ReplyDeleteYou have the fastest needles ever Nicole! Everything is so cute and it's so wonderful seeing that needle case stitched up! Yippee!!
ReplyDeleteSouthwest is coming along nicely, Nicole. I'm sure you're looking forward to the next installment. What a fun and cute scissor case too. Your magnifying lamp looks just like what you need for those 40ct fabrics. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finishes Nicole especially like the scissor case.
ReplyDeleteGreat new magnifying lamp - is that the same one that Martha has?
They both look lovely, congratulations
ReplyDeleteIf I stitch Sea to Shining Sea, I want to do it on the blue fabric like you're doing! It's so gorgeous!
ReplyDeletePretty scissor case! That was fast!
Sea to Shining Sea looks awesome Nicole.
