The Beam and Read lights are great for stitching and needle work....HOWEVER.....I can think of many other uses of these lights....

For example, identifying denominations.  This is what a big wad of money looks like without a Beam and Read Light

Everything is so blurry ....how do you know if you have ones or hundreds?  You don't!

With a Beam and Read Light....you can clearly see there are several 100 dollar bills there....not just one's.  This guy wanted to trade me his wad....but I wouldn't part with MY Beam and Read.  I sent him to the IHAN website....it's that M word again....I'm so grumpy!  Ya think I cut my nose off to spite my face?  Me too!!!  LOL

I used my Beam and Read while shopping for a Mother's Day gift for my Momma.....

Being 47 years old,  I can't see a darn thing without a magnifier and a light....so I just keep it on and here I am shopping for wine.  I just dare someone to ask why I can't see....I double dog dare them!!!

Waldo is knitting with her Beam and Read Light.  The light is forward focused and it sure does make illuminate handwork.

Since the Beam and Read Lights are hands free, even a bank robber could wear one so he doesn't need to hold his flashlight.  Speaking of robbers....hey I have a great idea.  When I plan my next Aurifil Thread Heist....I can wear my GrabARoo's (won't leave any finger prints behind) and my Beam and Read Light to steal all those spools cones of thread from Alex in Houston.  The magnifier will come in handy so I can read the colors I'm taking. 

This is where I sit in the evening with my applique.  It is typically dark and the lamp on the table does not throw enough light so I wear a Beam and Read.  See, I don't always sit around thinking of heists you know :)

What would you or "Yo Momma" do with a Beam and Read Light?   If you are an IHAN blog follower, leave a comment on this post telling me what you or "Yo Momma" (or anyone on earth you would want to give one to) would use the Beam and Read Light for and and you will have a chance to have the Beam and Read LED6 Deluxe Hands Free Light sent to the address of your choosing.

Now keep in mind, Father's Day is just around the corner and you just may just want to start thinking of  ideas for "Yo Pappa" too.  You can comment on what he would do with a Beam and Read Light and still qualify :) 

On Sunday, May 8th, I will announce the winner.  I may do the random number generator or I just might take the best idea that I read from all the comments....I just don't know yet :)  Have some fun!!

Smiles,

Kelly

How ever did this happen?

Ya ever been smacked with reality....sort of hard?  Like you look in the mirror and you don't recognize the person staring back at ya?  That's how I've been feeling lately. 

While in the shower yesterday I glanced up to the Cetaphil Pump Soap that I use on my face and it read, "it softens while it cleans."  You got to be kidding me....no wonder I'm so damn soft everywhere....I need to switch to Teenager Soap!!!  I'm convinced it is time to switch to Just Naturals....look for yourself....those old ladies look young again :)

Seems like with technology these kids have everything....I mean everything.  There is some new technology called the Electronic Driving Coach that helps keep teenagers focused on their driving.  Great for them!!!  How about an Old Lady Living Coach that reminds me what I came into the room for?  Come on folks....I'm really tired of stuff for young people....I want something I can actually use....what about you?

As you can tell, I'm heading into the M word and I'm feeling older than I did just a year ago.  I went to the Eye Doctor and he told me my vision has not changed.  I wanted to scream into his young ear, "then why on earth does it seem like I can't see a darn thing anymore!!!"  Instead, I politely thanked him and left.  I'll fix this problem....who needs eye doctors anyway, right?

This is what I have been seeing when I turn on my sewing machine.

 NOW look what I see :)  I found myself a wonderful gadget that helps even the playing field a bit.  I love this CC Bigger....now all I need is a CC Smaller to place in front of the mirror!!!  Wonder if Simplicity has considered something like that? 

You can see how it attaches to my machine...and it does not get in the way of my thread or lever in the back....I put it on in less than a minute....now that certainly helps...cuz you know the M word and frustration is potential  explosion don't ya?

While watching Karen Kay Buckley's DVD I saw she had a magnifier on her Bernina.  So I priced one for myself and I learned  the CC Bigger is so much more affordable .  Now everything much easier to see (or should I say, CC?).

In the photo above you can see my Bendable Bright Light.  If you don't have one on your sewing machine and you are over 30 years old.....ya just might want to check them out.  I've never met anyone who didn't love their Bendable Bright Light. 

I've learned about a few other lighting gadgets and they have found their way into my daily life.

Light Strip with 6 LED Lights

I really liked this LED lighting strip when I first saw it....it is so bright.

Check out how bright it is.  It has a peal and stick strip on the back....but I want mine to be mobile because there are so many places I use it....so instead of pealing off the backing....I use the sticky tack (used to put posters on kids walls).  The sticky tack (I got mine at Office Max) is inexpensive and it is soft and pliable so I can mount my light strip to almost anything. 

One of the ways I use the Light Strip with 6 Led Bulbs is to illuminate my DreamWorld sewing table ...then I use it as a light box.

Here you can see I have a piece of tracing paper and a Cub Scout Emblem that I needed to trace....I put the light strip under the table and it makes a really great light box.

This is what the light looks like under my DreamWorld sewing table.  No need to buy a light box....not when I can use what I already have.  See if those young people know about that!!!

Now, I know I've been going on and on about lights....but I've been fortunate to have been able to review the following two Beam and Read Lights.

Beam and Read Plus Magnifier LED3 Light

Beam and Read LED3 Hands Free Light

 Beam and Read LED6 Deluxe Hands Free Light

I like to do needle turn applique and other hand stitching at night in the living room.  My problem is there is not enough bright directed light to be able to see those tiny stitches well.  I've been wearing my Beam and Read with 6 LED's quite a bit because it also comes with a clip on magnifier.  There will be more information about the Beam and Read Lights very soon.....I'm going to be hosting a Mother's Day Giveaway!!!  Oh yea baby :)

Hope you are having a wonderful Monday!

Smiles,

Kelly
