My new toy...

Yesterday hubby bought me a stitcher's wonder floor stand from Michael's, with our 50% off coupon it wasn't that bad of a deal. So yeah, he came home with it and i was super excited, and then i went and started to stitch on it and...dissapointed!!! It was frustrating! Honestly, i thought it meant to rotate 360 degrees as in the whole scroll, but it gets caught with that U shape thing and no it doesn't rotate, it stops halfway which makes it very hard to access the back, and then hubby explained that the 360 degree rotation must mean the base of it's neck..Oh duh!! Now i need to keep pushing it upwards to do just that!!!

Today, hubby dragged the whole family to home depot, he went and picked up some wood, sandpaper, a saw and a new drill, then when we came home he made me just what i wanted, a new scroll holder!!! Or better yet...i would call it an upgrade! I am so happy, it is so much better, and he made sure it is big enough so i can fit even a bigger size fabric without a struggle. I love what he made, it's so comfy and it cost us very little! He also did an excellent job, it almost looked like one you can buy from the store.

Here is my new stand..

I love it! What you see here is also my progress on Under the Frienship Tree. There isn't really much to see yet as i had very little time to stitch recently. But I am super excited about my new stand I just had to tell you all...It was a lovely surprise from hubby, especially that there is a part in there that he made by himself. I just love him to pieces!!! *^-^*
