Last week's progress (April 27 - May 3)

For the last few weeks, I've been rotating projects on Monday of each week. Last week on Monday, I wasn't ready to give up on "Perception", so I just kept in going until May 1st, which is when it was time to start on the May flower of the month.  This month's flower is Lily of the Valley. I forgot to take a picture of my progress on Monday morning. Below is my progress as of this morning. (Wednesday - I'm a couple of days behind this week.)

Last week I bought a cheap scroll frame and lap stand from Jo-Ann's. I had a text for 60‰ off one item. I made my husband go in with me so that we could each buy one part. It ended up being only around $15 for both. That was a great deal if it worked! It seemed very flimsy and I couldn't get my fabric nice and taught. I took those back for a refund and ordered an all purpose floor stand that will clamp onto a scroll frame, q-snaps, regular hoop, etc. (I currently use q-snaps.)  It was only about $20 on Jo-Ann's website. I also ordered a magnifying floor lamp. They both arrived today and I'm happy with both so far! I'm trying to get used to doing two handed stitching now that I have my stand. :)
