I like small things. I was really upset when I could no longer use my tiny portable tv...the one with 3.5” screen! They do make digital portable televisions, but most are with 7” screens. The 3.5” ones available are quite a bit different from the one I had....they are smaller, but not quite as dependable. That's probably more a function of the technology than anything else.
I do watch on my iPod and my iPod touch...especially movies and podcasts. Most people think I am crazy, but I prefer watching on them rather than the big tv we have. (Yes, I am a Mac person but I also have a pc and an Ubuntu computer which is really a Lenox system like the Mac, but it is a free operating system.)
And little gadgets...I love little gadgets...especially ones for crafters. I probably have more than I will ever need or use, but the draw of the clearance aisle is sometimes more than I can resist.
Take, for instance, stamps. I am always drawn to the sale bins, especially those that are a buck fifty for a nineteen dollar beautiful stamp. I even have a good friend who gave me every color of stamp pad in BOTH water based dye for paper and pigment dye for fabric.
And I have watched folks use stamps and make beautiful items with them. Problem is...they never work out for me...never!!!! Then I realized I really preferred drawing rather than stamping. But I actually am envious of folks who stamp because I simply cannot produce anything even remotely acceptable with stamps.
I do know someone who is great with stamps and has been looking at mine with a bit of desire. They don't know it, but they are about to get a big box of stamps and stamp pads.
And that brings me back to small. I can take all 150 of my pencils in a very small container along with some drawing pads – small, of course. Add my 3” by 5” portable watercolor set and I am already to go. If I brought all my stamps, I would have to add a large suitcase. Do you suppose that is why I'm no good at stamping?
And quilting...what do I make...small pieces, miniature pieces....do you see a pattern here?
More later. Thanks for stopping by...
