Just wanted to pop in to let you know that I am all packed and ready to go. Retreat #1, here I come!!!
My sewing room hasn't looked this neat in a long time. Of course, it is all packed up and ready to load into Sharon's truck. I am taking it all with me.
I did want to tell you that I tried out my new light that I bought at the quilt show the other day.
It's NOT a gimmick!!! I was pleasantly surprised. It worked great for my night time hand stitching. The light covered a large area of my stitching and it was nice and bright.
Check it out here. Beam n Read
This shows a lot of uses for this little number, but for me....it works just as I had hoped it would for my stitching on dark fabric in the evening without ALL the lights on in the house.
So, that's all I have for ya today. Hopefully, if all goes well, I will have plenty of pictures of my work and will share a lot of pictures of everyone else's work at the retreat.
See you when I get back!
I have a Beam n Read also, thinking the same use. I haven't been doing much handstitching, though, and have been using it to read in bed without disturbing my sleeping husband. I thought it wasn't as bright as at first, but when I replaced the batteries, it was back to full bright! I'm not sure how to tell it's time for that without waiting for eyestrain.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I put the amber filter on before bedtime, as research shows that blue light stimulates our brains. Might not work well for stitching!
I love my Beam n Read!! Couldn't live without it!!
ReplyDeleteSafe travels and have loads of fun stitching!!

ReplyDeleteOh, what fun you will have! Can't wait to read all about it when you return.
