....flowers, that is!WOOHOO! I got my last and very large order finished up today! What a great feeling to be FINISHED! To not have orders looming over me! To be able to do WHAT I want WHEN I want! To be able to CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN! And maybe now my sore finger can heal up. I have a place on the middle finger of my right hand that the head of the needle digs into. I don't like wearing a thimble, not even those rubber thimbles. I've got so now I use my needle nose pliers when I'm doing any sewing on tucks that have been painted. Those can be tough to sew. I think I've worn the tips of my fingers down so smooth, they just won't grab the needle well. I can't live without my needle nose!
Anyway, I had to make up some blue pansies for this order, so I made a couple of different sets for her to choose from. I never use to think of blue as a color for flowers, but there are actually lots of beautiful blue flowers out there, including blue pansies!
Okay...guess I'll go twiddle my thumbs. What to do? What to do? ~~Annie
Those are so pretty! Take care of those sore fingers! :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute pansies Annie.
ReplyDeleteI hope those fingers heal.
Loves the blues Annie, your bowl fillers are always so sweet.
ReplyDeleteHappy for you on those orders, wish I could say that right now myself.
Oh I know how you feel on the fingers, mine have holes in them and are in pretty sad shape LOL...I too am not a fan of thimbles, they get in my way!

Love the flowers...my needle nose pliers are also my "go to" tool..they stay right near the sewing machine. I have arthrisis in my fingers so I started using them. But you are right that finger gets all the needle abuse..I have had a hole in my finger at times, where I am trying to push the needle thru. All of us that make prims really really love it to go thru all of this...hands in coffee/tea stain, trying to get a needle thru painted items, all the hand sewing etc...it's like leather. Taking something new and making it old is quite a task.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Smiles and huggs

I'm so like you when it comes to sore fingers and pulling those stubborn needles through (and I can't stand to wear a thimble). Sometimes I'll just put a bandaid around each of my sewing fingers to get through a project without more pain. Oh, the things we go through to create!
ReplyDeleteLove your beautiful prim flowers!

Blue is not one of my favorite colors but I would definitely display those. I love ticking and home spun. I know something you can do to relax now...go read a book (smile)
ReplyDeleteYour work is awesome as always Annie. I know I will stay busy next week putting 50 cook books on the binders and thenpraying they all sell at the fund raiser
Love your blue flowers!!
ReplyDeleteI too, can't use a thimble, have to feel my work and get holes in my fingers...OUCH!!!! If I'm sewing alot, I actually have a callous on my one finger. That was when I did alot of embroidery work. I had done 3 quilttops..my grandmother quilted them, there is still one here that she didn't get to!:(
I'm sure you'll find something to do!!!! lol
Lois
