I received my newest hardware order yesterday, and I'm anxious to use them in upcoming bags and other creations. I just love them! They're really high quality and heavy weight, and I love the detail.
Looking at them from top left to right: opossum, fox, mushrooms, Tree of Life, cat, treble clef. Front row:
White owl and Harry Potter's Deathly Hallows symbol. I've already got so many ideas in mind for these. I think you're going to love them!
I sewed today, but stopped before dinner time. My right index finger knuckle is killing me. It feels like a red hot poker in the joint, and even wakes me up at night. I've been taking ibuprofen, but it doesn't always help. I only tell you this so you know why you haven't seen any new finished bags yet. I have an appointment first thing this morning, but I'm hoping to actually finish the bags I started last week.
In the meantime, I'm going to plan what I'll be doing with these just as soon as those bags are finished. I promise the finished products are definitely going to be fun!
The charms are all nice.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get some relief for your finger.

Hi Marilyn;
DeleteI'm loving them and will have fun using them in projects. I took out the "good" meds and it felt better overnight. Once I tried working in the studio, it flared right back up again. I'm going to see if there isn't a compress, brace, or something else I can use to help me when I need to be working. Thanks for your concern.

What fun (in reference to the new hardware) but not so fun about your finger. I'm hobbling about with a sore toe the past couple of days so I feel for you - quite literally.
ReplyDeleteHi MA:
DeleteI'm so sorry you've got a sore toe! I keep saying..."sisters from another mother". More proof!

Yep - I believe it!!! I'm an 'only' so I need all the sisters I can get.
DeleteSherry of createology: Oh no…not your right need finger. I do hope you find relief. I LOVE your new hardware for your creations. You do find the best pieces. Healing Energy my friend.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry:
DeleteYep. Even though I'm a southpaw, I do most tasks favoring my right hand. This is not what I need right now, to be sure! Glad you like the hardware. It's so much fun. Thanks, dear.

The hardware is beautiful, it's all about the detail.
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope you get some quick relief for your finger.
Would an arthritis cream give some relief?
Voltaren helps me, just don't read the label.

Hi Shirley:
DeleteI really love the hardware, too. I have Voltaren, so I'll give it a try. I also have arnica oil, a couple essential oils that might help, and a few other "linaments". What can I say? It's a "mature person" thing. lol Thanks for the recommendation. I'll try it.
