I think I found the answer to my poor, sore fingers’ prayers! My mom, sister, and I were at Hancock Fabrics when I was in Raleigh two weekends ago and my sister found these at the check out…
The back says, “Just stick these dots to your thumb and any fingers you use to pull or push needles. Their special adhesive will keep them securely in place, even through hand-washing.” They’re amazing! I’ve even slept with them on and they’ve stayed on through the night. I tried building calluses and was almost there, but picked them off. So this is the next best thing. I’ve been wearing them on the pads of my right middle and ring fingers and on the side of my left pointer finger. They’re pretty thick and sturdy and don’t get caught in the stitching like bandaids. This is a huge revelation for me—I don’t have to carry Neosporin and bandaids in my needlepoint bag anymore!
Speaking of Raleigh, I had a great trip home. I got my license renewed (I refuse to get a New York driver’s license).
I also got a sewing machine for my birthday and an expert tutorial from Mom, went to Target (I hadn’t been there in four months! Too long!), played with “the noodles” (pictured below), and watched football. Wake Forest had a great game against Stanford—I only wish I could’ve been in Winston-Salem for the game. Watching on the back porch was pretty nice too though.
And now…meet “The Noodles”…
