Where do you stitch?

Oh, this is easy....anyplace the Dazor lamp/magnifier is! DH moves it from
the RV to the house depending on where we w=are.

Actually at home it is by the love seat, and I curl up with a dog or two
with me. In the RV it is in my recliner (which I don't recline).

I really cannot see without the magnifier, and the Dazor suits me to a T.

I could have changed things when I had the cataracts in both eyes fixed,
but I had worn glasses since I was 7, and am comfortable with them for
distance. For years I read and stitch without glasses, but magnification
is great.

I think I will quit right here, and do some stitching!

You do know that we are possibly the only two people on earth that remained
nearsighted after cataract surgery, don't you?

Lucille


By choice, my dear!! That makes us REALLY different! SPECIAL, even LOL.

On the couch in the living room, with Not Dead Fred lying right behind my
neck. I have a work lamp with a magnifying lens there which he thinks is a
sort of cat tanning bed.

OTOH, I would like to stitch on the big old couch downstairs, since it is
upholstered rather than leather like the upstairs couch, and so ideal for
using the arm as a needleholder, but at the moment I don't have good
lighting or a proper array of tables down there.

I do all my canvaswork while sitting at a table. Outdoors in nice
enough weather or the dining room table which has an extra down light
that illuminates things nicely. Not tiresome at all.
Most everything else is stitched in my comfy chair or in my favorite
corner of the couch depending on which furniture arrangement I've got
going on.

I have a recliner in the family room. It has nice wide arms, and I can
pop the foot rest up when I want. I also stitch at Guild meetings in a
straight back chair at a table, or in the car.

I usually stitch in bed or on the couch. I ordered a ott lite with a
magnifier so now I'll be mobile : )

At home - seated on the couch. Elsewhere - whatever I'm sitting on,
of course!

Lucille,

I used to have a loveseat in which I stitched. Pretty much the same
as what you describe. After my little Cookie (maltese) passed away,
we bought a new set that had 2 lazy boy chairs and a sofa. I grew to
love my lazy boy chair...

Curled up in the corner of my love seat, with one foot curled under me and
the other on the hassock in front. *That leaves plenty of room for Puff on
the other side.

When I bought this loveseat I was sure to put a velour fabric on it, rather
then leather which I like better, so that I could stick my needles into the
arm and not worry about the ones I drop making holes.

My Puff is a Maltese. The cutest, most loving little guy that ever called
me his own

Your DH will have you answer for that comment in the hereafter, I'm sure!
