This Ott Light ... takes THREE AAA batteries,

and I cannot help wonder if there is an adaptor --- to plug in

if necessary.   Or, would i need spare THREE AAA batteries?

( J+R $24.99)

This Ott light .... product deails say:  

 "The rechargeable battery provides up to 3 hours of battery use 

or use with the included AC adaptor. "

Decisions, decisions -- or, just stitch with my flip light and clip onto something.  

As for the Mini Basket --

flower pot

I had the flower pot stitched + it didn't look like the photograph on the pattern.

I checked the diagram + compared to the

picture on the instructions ...

And, still - what I HAD, didn't look right.   Decisions - decisions.

Does it bother me enough to re-stitch, or just leave it.

For one thing, the compensating stitches in the photo look like

light blue outside + dark blue inside. 

Also, the basket had more queen stitches along each row in the photo -

which made the basket look even.  Mine looked wonky.   

And, in the end, it just didn't look like the picture, and it is supposed to be a reproduction, and

so I 

went on the EGA Web site - found a digital picture

and re-charted the flower pot portion of the chart.  

Which meant, ripping out - - adding more queen stitches on the right side of the flower pot. 

 More  queen stitches.

OK?  

Now I like it, and it looks like the photograph.

Next, the compensating stitches....
