I bought a new present for the sewing room today.
It means I will be able to sew later than 6pm.
It means my hand sewing should improve
It means I won't confuse blue and green
it means I won't have to go outside for accurate colour matching.....
It means I am getting old.

Ah... old lady eye. The curse of the late night stitcher. You are not alone...
Nooooo! It means you are getting SENSIBLE!!!!!
Oh happy day & happy bright light night too.
It does mean you're getting sensible, now get a BLUE globe and like magic, it's daylight!! Definitely no mix up with colours at night.
Big hugs, lizzie
If it works for you, then it's gotta be a good thing :o).
Don't feel so bad, I have a halogen light AND my glasses LOL!!
Hugs,
Joy :o)
that title had me confused for quite some time. better to be getting old than very, very blonde I say! hehe!
Lamps are good... very good indeed, regardless of age.
So let there be light!!
Hugs ~ Kerryanne
hee, hee!
Fantastic! Having a lamp is so good for craft work at night and on a rainy day. I use mine all the time, but I just got another year older, so I really need mine...
Love the dog jacket.
Oh yeah - light is good!
Nice pics! :-)
I bought something similar about a fortnight ago ... has made a big difference. Glad to see the puppy looking happier .... my Molly would love to play.
At last you see the light He He He.
Hugs Mary.
You mean, it's not normal to have to go outside for colour matching? Ooops! Looks like I need a new lamp too!
And pretty please say you need that dolly coat pattern testing!?!?!? It's GORGEOUS!
And I love the dolly's hair stitching - it looks like highlights!

I was waiting for you to show me a new pair of glasses!
What is R for? Rather Rewarding Recompence foR youR weaRy fRiend.
Did you adopt a dog, Jodie?? Are Jude and Eloise sharing their toys?
Been there, done that and have the glasses to read and thread a needle by! Welcome to my world. :o) I have an ott, a lamp, an overhead light, and a window. It helps.
Love the sporty new addition to doggy wardrobe!
And...what is this thing called "colour matching"? ;)
"SHIT!" I probably need me one of those as well! lol
Let there be light, and there was, and craft was made... :)
Yes, but does it prevent having to use those little glasses at the end of your, excuse me, MY nose? Does one need a prescription for it or can one just pick it up at the fabric store?
By the way, just so you know, the word verification that I must type to leave my message is moths butt. Nice! I didn't know it had one.
What do you think it means when after hours of taking photos my eyes are blurring?
A new lamp?
Or glasses?
Love the little doggy coat. Your heart is so very young Jodie-the rest? Nothing a new lamp won't fix-enjoy!
I had to grin when I read your post. And I know how you feel. I might be ready for such a lamp too, because yesterday I threw a needle through the room, not being able to get the thread through that annoyingly (is that a word?) little hole. Grmph.
I'm looking forward to see what you'll be making in those new found hours of the crafting day.
oh I have just got a new lights a few months back and it is sooo good.......
Hmmmm... inspiration. I have a problem with black, navy, chocolate brown and dark green threads swapping around during late night sewing sessions. Makes for interesting topstitching detail in daylight.
I just love your blog. Catching up, still, but got alot of giggles. Love you stinky dog, he's so sweet.
*snurk* I rarely ever craft at night.. to tired...but I will occasionally knit while watching tv.. because I'm a bad knitter to begin with it dosen't matter as I only ever knit the simplest thing... my eyes are so bad to begin with that they are actually improving as I get older.. O_o
"You are old Mother Jodie,"
the young squirt said,
"And your hair has become very white;
And yet you incessantly craft on your head -
Do you think, at your age it is right?"
"Bog off squirt," Mother Jodie replied,
"Or I'll drag you round the bike sheds for kicking,
I have crafting to do and must do it inside,
But I'm not too busy to hand you a licking!"
Let there be light... and get the mice to do your sewing, it worked for the Tailor of Gloucester.
I also find that reading glasses come in handy too!
OOoh! This getting old thing is not funny!
Ha! Maybe I don't need new glasses after all....just a new bulb!!

Sorry to hear that you've had to join the 'other side'!!! ;) We'll all get there one day!
Snort, Giggle, Gasp. Welcome to reality Dearie.......it's gets us all in the end.
It's a hard pill to swallow, but with age comes wisdom!
Believe me, The moment you can't read the telephone book/melways believe me it's a down hill run!!
i just went to ikea & did the same thing!
ps i don't think it is an age thing!
I thought the last photo was going to be you wearing glasses!!!
I thought the last photo was going to be you wearing glasses!!!
Hey. At least you are Still In Your 30s.
oh It's great to put a bit of light on the subject...
they have craft bulbs at the lighting shop and they turn everything into daylight...
too intense...
It would be great to have a survey on the lights (are the most expensive the best)??
Welcome to MY world Jodie. Age, it happens to the BEST of us.
Mine has a magnifying glass attached to it. Sigh.
Mahaha - you make me laugh (another later 30's bird)...better swap the globe though Jodie - hehe.
I too was waiting for the glasses at the end. A lamp is much nicer!
A heads up ... once you reach your extremely very early forties you may also need to invest in arm extensions. I am still looking for a pair, so I can comfortably focus on my craft at arms length.
Old - smold what are you talking about.
Loving that dog coat I will not be showing my 2 they will but in orders.
I sit with my lamp right next to me to knit otherwise I feel as though I am getting old and not seeing properly. Love the little red coat for the kinder girl, is there a pattern to be made. The dog coat looks lovely and warm. I would love to make my Jack Russell Tess a doggy coat but my partner said he would rip it off and throw it out if I did. I cant wait to see some more of those adorable litle clocks. You are such a creative talented crafter.
