It's early Christmas morning, and we have already opened our gifts.
My DH surprised me with something I've never seen before -- a pin/needle sharpener. Actually, it's called a Fish Hook Sharpening Stone, by Bear Paw Tackle Company. It's about 3 inches long, 1/2 inch thick, and shaped in a long triangular bar. Two sides have grooves down them for the pin (hook) to rub down. I had recently commented that one of my longer stick pins was quite dull. I think that gave him the idea. He also gave me one the the BBQ lamps that were recently discussed. I mentioned them and we looked at pictures on the web. I'm probably the first person in our group to get one, but most likely not the only person who will end up with one. I really like the 24" stretch of 'neck' on the lamp. It can reach the center of my largest pillow. Now I have to see if I can clamp it on my folding lace stand. I may just have to settle for clamping it on a table next to my pillow. Finished my butterfly. Later today I get to start a new project... think it will be a carousel horse. Merry Christmas!
