February WIPocalypse Check In

February topic – Gadgets! Show us your favorite stitching gadgets! and How did you do with Olympic Stitching, and what goals did you achieve?

My favorite gadget is my Ott light. This light is my favorite because it is surrounded by cubbies. In the deep cubbies, I put my extra needles, stitch count ruler, marking pens, and a flashlight (in case I lose electricity). In the cubbies by the base, I put my orts, scissors, and Thread Heaven. The lamp is resting on a stack of stitching journals bought for me as Christmas presents. The large pincushion is a Bobbin the Robin my mother made for me using LSU fabric (Geaux Tigers!). The little turtle to the right is a scissor holder my mother made for me out of Tinkerbell fabric.

My Winter Olympics Challenge was the Rotation Relay. I tied this to the Winter Olympics Challenge on Stitch Maynia. I did get behind at one point, but I was able to catch up and finish all the themes by February 28th. I touched 18 pieces overall during the Rotation Relay.
