Ott-Lite Out

I got some stitching done on Barnabee’s Quest on Saturday, but then my Ott-Lite starting flickering mercilessly. I figure the bulb must be on it’s last legs. After all, it’s probably 3 years old or more. So, I’m going to run out tonight and get a new one after work. I hope that Joann still stocks them! If I don’t get a new one soon, I’m going to start getting the shakes. 😉

No progress photos to share, either, as I haven’t had a chance to take one yet. I did frog the gazing ball and restitch it, though. Kreiniks are such a pain to rip out, aren’t they? I just wasn’t happy with the shape of it, as it looked more like a block than a ball. So, I took a good look at the model photo and realized that while Nan used 3/4 stitches for partials in other places, she used 1/4 stitches in the ball to achieve the shape and didn’t make a note of it in the directions. It looks much better to my eyes now, and since I’m the one who has to live with it (and trust me, I choose to live with most of my mistakes), that’s what’s important.

Well, off I go to the land of Joann, in search of a new bulb. Wish me luck!
