My dainty hand made to be all clumpy and immobile.
Don’t feel sorry for me. Except I’ll take any sympathy I can get. My right thumb is crippled due to overuse. I’ve been cutting with scissors and mousing way to much and I’m now paying the price. If only I were ambidextrous! Unfortunately I’m not, so I’m trying to help myself with this brace thing.
That’s no excuse for neglecting my writing though. Well, it kind of is. The truth of the matter is I’ve been so non-writey lately I don’t even recognize myself. For example, my birthday was in August and I still haven’t written the thank-you notes for the gifts I received. It’s nearly time to write thank-you notes for Christmas (if I’m on the “nice” list) so I better get on those birthday notes before it’s too late. OK, it’s too late already, but better late than never, right?
I want to become more writey, so I’m just going to fake it ’til I make it. I’ve got my Pandora Christmas station playing and I’m at the computer despite my crippledness. The Christmas season is officially underway, which is a good thing with or without a crippled hand, with or without writing.
There will be lots of decorating going on at the Auntie B’s Wax World Headquarters this weekend. I’m starting to get into the spirit.

Sara I hope you are on the mend, when I don’t feel like writing I read a GOOD book. Happy decorating to you.
Thanks, Kath. I hope my grip gets better soon – lots of decorating and wrapping to do in the next couple of weeks.
Your advice to read a good book is heeded. I’m now reading a book titled Drood, quite interesting so far.
Did the warm weather get to you yet? I think of you as the frost is nipping at my nose, hoping you’re getting your spring and summer.
Heavy rain all week hot in-between, cannot complain we need the water and I prefer it to the bush fire season. Happy wrapping Sara.
Sarah, so sorry about your bum hand. I’ve got sore fingers from trying to finish a quilt before the big move. I’m hand quilting it–yeah, perfect timing, right? My calluses have blisters! So I know how you feel. That’s why I’ve been AWOL from the blog-o-sphere. That and preping for the move. The snowman ornament is SO cute! Never let pain stop you–you’re a true crafter!! 🙂
Thanks for your encouragement, Lorna. My hand is good and bad, depending on what I’m doing. I hope your blistery calluses are healing okay by now. I wish I could see the quilt! Are you in your new digs yet?
My fingers are healing–not pretty, but healing. The quilt is finished.
Send me an email at dizzylorna@hotmail.com and I’ll send you pictures.
