Blog Hop #10

The blogging prompt for blog hop #10 is:
What’s your absolute least-favorite thread to work with?

Maybe it’s a particular type of fiber that always gives you a hassle. Or maybe it’s a least-favorite color of thread to use. That one thing that when you come across it in a design you just know the frogs are coming, or something that gives you twists and tangles. I know for me it’s Christmas Red DMC #666, I always joke that it has that color code for a reason and it’s the devil!

Metallic threads give me a fit. other than that I really can't think of anything else.

Blog Hop #9 stitching tools & aides

The blogging prompt for blog hop #9 is:
What are your must-have stitching tools and aides? Other than your trusty scissors, of course. Is there a problem you have had when stitching that you created your own solution for, or have you purchased a tool that helped?

I use a Q sanp frame . I also have several scroll frames & a floor frame. to help in bigger projects. I have several different sizes of magentic boards to help hold patterns. some times they double as needle holders.
I have an Ott lite, 1 that sits on a desk that I use. but the other lite I have is like one for a dorm room, with the big light on top & moveable (like a desk lamp)on in the middle. Stitching Bags
I also have a fluffy pillow I like to keep my patterns on while I stitch.

The other things I have in my room.
my stitchy chair, my DVD player & LED TV. lots & lots of DVD's.
