I like Thankful Thursday

I like these fingerless gloves. I wear them with my thin leather gloves. It works really well when I take Holly with me to the library and shops. I can still fiddle with the lead when I type her up to go inside. Or try to find a treat in the little bag so I can tell her she is a good girl.

My friend made them for me for Christmas. I wanted to show the bit of sparkle in the wool she used, but you will have to imagine it yourself!

I like how The Thoughtful Man has been picking up on my mumbles. While my back has been so bad, I have been sitting in a chair with the heating pad behind me. Now that I am feeling like I could do some sewing work in my studio, I didn't last very long at all before the pain got bad again. So I think I said something like " I wonder if they have belts with heat that could sit against your back. Perhaps if I had warmth there, it would keep my muscles relax."

And then this arrived in the post. Yes, it is pretty good! and makes you sit properly, as well. And, no, I don't run while I have it on. 😳

I like this little torch thing. Our church gets pens and whatnot to hand out to people at our Christmas carol service. This year the company we order from (who sends us samples a least every month, but seems more often.) sent this little gadget.

It looked like a good idea, so we ordered them. Wow, we have had such comments about the torches*. Every one thinks they are fantastic. There is a magnet on the bottom you see. and  if the battery runs out, you can change it. So, it isn't disposable like a pen is if it runs out.

This is how I am using mine...I got another in my stocking at Christmas. What a help when your eyes are neither here nor there about seeing at the moment.
The bead set up for this week. (I will show what I am doing with them on Sunday.)

This photo is without a torch.

With one torch, especially helpful with the size 15 beads!!

and with 2 torches. Amazing! and especially in the evening or late afternoon when it gets dark early still.

*torch is the British term for the US flashlight.

And now my back needs a change of place. If you want to see more likes, head over to LeeAnna's blog. She is great to do this little community of sharing. I hope to get involved more as I really hope my health will improve so I can do longer bursts of time at the computer. I have tried my phone, but it comes up so small that I struggle to see it, and when I can, it is very stubborn about getting photos and text where you want them. 😒
