Specialty? What's so special?

Ah, man. I want a tambour stand. A hoop with legs. Eighty bucks? This one's only $28, but still. It's a wooden hoop with legs.

I've got find some popsicle sticks so I can rig up one of my own. Or something like that.

I need a hobby that's free. Reading doesn't count. And neither does cursing the weather.

I kind of want one of those for regular embroidery. It would make reticella and blackwork a hell of a lot easier.

Does it have to be round? I have a frame-like thing similar to that, currently holding an embroidery project my Mother never finished. You can have it if you want it.

Oh, here: it is this,http://www.scottishfibres.co.uk/acatalog/Embstand4.jpg but much less fancy (basically dowel rods) and about 15-18-ish inches across. I can measure it later if it's what you're looking for.

Ya know, I think crazy cat lady is a hobby...and it's free if you catch the cats yourself! ::ducks::


I've seen similar frames around before but most of them are in that $25~$40 racket. $28 doesn't sound too bad, really....

Digital photography? You already have the camera.
