Hey, There's RANDI!!

Oh, look! There's a profile of Randi of The World in Stitches in the Littleton online newspaper.  What fun!  Sadly, the interviewer doesn't understand how technology enhances our stitching but still, it is a nice profile of Randi and the challenges that all shop owners face in the 21st Century.

Many thanks to the Needle Retailer for pointing this out on Facebook.

The Jansjo LED Clamp Spotlight

Lizette saw the Jansjo LED clamp light at Nashville Needlework and at an earlier retreat this year and finally got one for herself.  According to folks at Needlepoint Nation, it has a long cord, but no magnifier, is fairly light weight and the clamp fits on Evertites.

Here's a video of it in action.

Shop around.  The prices vary according to where you find the lamp.  Amazon's rating system mentions folks have problems with the switch but there's an easy fix.

Thanks, Lizette!
