Oh no! I hope you get a new lamp soon. It is looking awesome though. We all need to try different methods. I found I didn't like cross country at all and I preferred parking.
Good timing for the lamp to blow!! Now you can invest in something really nice and perfect for your needs. I was wondering about your Cross country stitching cos I thought that looked like more than a page. Yep moving that hoop alot would slow you down and be really frustrating!!
Do whatever makes you happy, there are no other rules!
Fingers crossed you have your new lamp by now xo Alicia

Disaster!
My stitching lamp died a horrific death tonight. The bulb started to flicker a bit so I turned it in an attempt to tighten it. The bulb came away in my hand, connected to the lamp by a single wire while the threads remained in the lamp, rusted into place. So long, stitching lamp, you served me well for 20 years. I used a headlamp to finish off my night of stitching and H³ is actively looking for a replacement lamp that will meet my stitching and spatial needs. I need one with a clamp-on base due to my stitching setup. H³ should be ordering one tonight and I'll get it in a day or two. Until then, no stitching for me!
That being said, the death of Lamp happened right when I reached my 10 hours of stitching, so here goes!

I'm really glad I tried ECC stitching on a smaller scale as I'm quickly learning that although I love the way it looks, it's really not for me. I'm not enjoying moving my hoop AT ALL. It actually infuriates me. So after I'm done with this top row I'm going back to page by page cross country. I enjoy it more and that's what it's all about, right?
Crossing fingers that I get a new stitching lamp soon and until then, happy stitching to everyone!
