It's bad enough that work gets in the way of sewing
time.....
But when you don't have use of your left hand
yes...I'm left-handed.....
the options are limited!
Here are a pin cushion and needle case
I made earlier....
I must have impressed MrPnP....
he thought I'd bought them!
I'm planning on using this vintage sheet....
on the back of this modern solids quilt,
and admiring my neglected clamshells.
Thankfully I can type one handed.....
Hopefully, I'll be out of this cast soon AND finished
the reports!
Happy days!
SUZ
Goodluck.......
ReplyDeleteOh my...I hope you're okay. Adorable pin cushion.
ReplyDeleteI love your clam shells! I hope your hand heals fast so you can stitch again.
ReplyDeleteOh my! That does look uncomfortable - what have you been doing to yourself? I hope it gets better soon and so you can make good use of the Xmas hols. Your husband is right - the pincushion and needle case look very professional indeed!
ReplyDeleteWhat bad timing, esp with the school holidays approaching. Hoping your hand/wrist heals quickly so you can get back to some crafty fun xx
ReplyDeleteGood grief. What happened to you??
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for those clamshells. They are so fun. But you must relax and heal. In the mean time enjoy new things and when you come back I bet you'll be rejuvenated and inspired.
ReplyDeleteIt has to be so frustrating. Cute little pincushion and needlecase.
ReplyDeleteOUCH! My left hand is the only one under my control. I can't even imagine not being able to use it.
ReplyDeleteI love the fussy cutting on the pincushion and needlecase. That fabric is perfect for it. And the backing for the modern quilt is just the right colors.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a speedy recovery - I know it is usually when I can't work on things that the ideas and desire flow the most.
Fun and beautiful pincushion.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your hand! Hope it's a speedy recovery for you!
Hmm... so being one handed doesn't get you out of school? Well that sucks. I love that vintage sheet with the modern quilt - the colours are perfect and the juxtaposition of the modern and vintage is perfect. I can't help but think that little goldfish looks a bit depressed, I think he needs a friend. Hopefully the hand is improving...?
ReplyDeleteThat opening photograph just about says it all--such frustration for you, a woman who works with her hands constantly, both in teaching/grading and in creating. I hope the next few weeks will provide a silver lining to this cloud in some way.
ReplyDeleteI have been feeling stalled since our last trip, and appalled to find this notice of your blog posting deep in my email box--I am so sorry I didn't comment earlier, but hopefully now I'll be getting on top of things. When do you get your wrapping off? What's the end date for this confinement? I hope it's before Christmas!
