nighttime crafting with ottlite lighting {and a giveaway!}
As a DIY blogger with two little ones, a lot of my crafting and photography inevitably happens in the evenings, after my kids are in bed. I don't plan it this way, it's just when I naturally have the most free time. Maybe you're in the same boat? Whether it's because your kids are young, or you're most inspired in the evenings, or you have a day job and you're not often home during daylight hours, this post is for you!
When I discovered OttLite, I knew my nighttime crafting was going to change for the better. Founded by Dr. John Ott, the father of time lapse photography, OttLite helps you see details clearly & colors accurately while reducing glare. The best part about OttLite are the 30 Super Bright Natural Daylight LED's, rated to last 40,000 hours (that's a LOT of crafting time!)
I use the 2-in-1 LED Magnifier Floor and Table Lamp, and I'm thrilled to be able to give one away to one of YOU today! Here's what it looked like when it arrived...
...we set it up as a floorlamp first (the setup took all of 10 minutes), and then set it up as a table lamp (it took about 3 minutes to convert from one to the other-so simple).
In case you're a visual person, like I am, here's a side-by-side comparison of photos taken with my OttLite and without...
See the difference? People are doing amazing things with their OttLites, why not join them and change the way you craft, read, and write for the better?

I'm a paper crafter and knitter and could certainly put a fantastic OttLite to good use! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
this would be nice for when I sew
This would be awesome for my craft room. I do all sorts of very fine details and small crafts. The magnifier would also help for those small details in the adult coloring books.
The pictures that I take for my Etsy shop are always so dark. Looking at your before and after shots make me realize how badly I need one of these amazing lights!
I could definitely use this for my card making and scrapbooking!
i am in desperate need of light in my living room for crocheting and knitting!! (and all the other crafts i do)
My crochet habit could use this light!!
I'm a papercrafter and could definitely use better lighting! Thanks!

I would love to win an Ottlite. I have not been able to complete an cross stitch project due to not being able to see well.
This would be great for my scrapbooking!
I've been needing one of these at my new house! I can't see anything.
It sounds like my nighttime, after-the-3-kiddos-are-in-bed card making would benefit greatly from one of these babies!
I'd use it to polish my nails and to do needlework.
I do scrapbooking so this would be so helpful!
This would come in handy in my craft room when I am knitting or scrapbooking.
This is amazing and compact, I've been looking for a light solution!
I love about any crafts from painting, to using sequins to decorate pictures, jewelry boxes.
I love OttLite! They are amazing.
The lighting in my office where I craft is really bad. When I do my water coloring, this light could help me SO much.
Crossing my fingers to win!
Thanks for the OttLite giveaway.
How fabulous is this? My mom got one at a garage sale and it was a steal. I know she loves hers and I keep meaning to get one. After seeing this I might make it more of a priority!
This is good or sewing!
