As you may know, I've been spending a lot of time exploring the great outdoors with my man. It has been so amazing to hike our state's myriad trails, sample some of our stunning national parks, cook on a toasty campfire and sleep under the twinkling stars. Being in nature is a real pleasure for me and experiencing it with someone I absolutely adore is definitely a bonus. That being said, our outdoor travels have lacked one very important feature: the ability to work on my crafty endeavors at night! Let's face it, trying to knit, crochet, weave or spin by a campfire is not exactly ideal. The light is beautiful, but it's not practical for working on any crafty to-go projects. Not to mention the fact that embers and yarn are not a really good combination. Not to worry though, I've come up with the perfect solution to my problem...
Meet my new trusty headlamp!
My handsome boyfriend, Steve, understands that a crafty girl has got to create, no matter the circumstances. So, he procured this headlamp for me. I road-tested it on our last camping trip. Works like a charm!

Oooooo, I do this too! We like to sit out in the backyard at night and visit with our neighbors. I first tried the lightup hooks so I could crochet in the dark, but they didn't emit enough light. So I commandeered my husband's headlamp. Fortunately, the neighbors are now used to it and no longer make fun of me!
Great Idea! I will have to find one of those.
Awesome! Gator used to use one of these for painting miniatures (he's a wargamer) but abandoned it once he got a better desk lamp. I may have to commandeer it for my own nefarious crafty uses! :)
Very cool and you can pull it off ;). I like the "handsome boyfriend Steve" line.
That's so funny! But a great idea as well!
focused well....
