OttLite® Review...it's a shining star!!!
I just love this little gem of a light! The OttLite® is amazing!
I have had a love affair with this light when I am binding a quilt late a night! I really don't know what I did without it. (Other than pull the table lamp close to me and tilt the lamp shade for more light to see what I am sewing.) I read some other reviews on this lamp, but I haven't experienced any problems with my lamp. Other reviews mentioned that the lamp doesn't stay in position once it's been adjusted. Some reviewers mentioned that it wasn't "sturdy". I wouldn't recommend lugging it all over the place, but I don't think of it as fragile by any means. I'm thrilled with my lamp!
Not only is this a great lamp, but it's affordable too. Wouldn't this be the perfect gift for the quilter, artist, jewelry maker, seamstress, or crafter in your family or circle of friends?

Sewing Spaces
I'm so longing for my *own space* to sew and create. For now, it's my kitchen table.
Someday, I hope to have my own room devoted to all of my sewing and quilting!
For now, the kitchen table seems to work great for me. I can be a part of the family's activities while I sew. I can keep an eye on dinner in the oven, and watch the snow falling from my kitchen window. (Yes, we've had a little snow already!!!)
Now, if I just had Jenni's awesome sewing space...THAT would be heaven!

A little inspiration...
Lately I haven't been feeling very creative...for whatever reason. But, a certain blog always gives me a little boost in the creativity department. The very talented and inspiring lady at Lovely Design has the most interesting projects going on in her corner of the world.
You have to check out her blog!
While visiting her blog recently, I was struck by her amazing little paper tags. Such a sweet and simple little project! I can imagine these tags on all sorts of packages, gifts, jars, bundles of fabric, etc. Put a pretty little tag on a special bottle of bubble bath or lotion, and you won't even need to gift wrap it!
I tried making some tags today, just for fun. Here are the results...

Still here!
Hello! Remember us? We're still here!
It's been such a busy summer...where does time go? I recently got back from a lovely vacation in South Dakota. We did the typical tourist things...Mt. Rushmore, camping, Rushmore Caves, Storybook Island, and more! Oh, and I did get to stop at a charming quilt store, the Thimble Cottage, just for me! It was an entire building chock full of quilting goodies!
If you are ever in the Rapid City, SD area, stop here! The staff was super friendly and the store was unique and full of great quilt samples, fabric and more!
