Apparently when I was rearranging my studio yesterday, I sprained my wrist. Last night I was in excruciating pain. You should have seen me at 3 am trying to open a new bottle of Aleve – teeth can be very handy! The Aleve didn’t help much so today I went to the Urgent Care Clinic. I was told to ice it, take prescription dose of Aleve twice a day and wear this brace. Wouldn’t it be nice if they made these in lime green?
Here are two postcards I managed to get done this week-end. The top one has Mrs. Mel scraps and the bottom is dupioni silk and with Japanese textiles.
Ouch! I hope your wrist gets better soon Gerrie. You know, even with that thing on, I know you can still sew circles around the rest of us LOL! Love your postcards & stuff-
((hugs))
I actually fused some lime green fabric to the first wrist brace I had for carpal tunnel. The brace got banged around quite a bit and the fabric ended up looking a bit worse for wear. I think you should try painting it and let us know how it turns out.
Rest and feel better.
Oh, can I relate to THAT! You have my heartfelt sympathies + I hope you got some good pain pills to go with the very un-green brace! In my experiece, the required “down time” has proven to be very helpful – both to my art and also for my psyche. I’m learning more about what to do and more importantly, what NOT to do…
Best of luck for a speedy recovery! Pat
I hope you feel better soon, and that you are still able to create, cause I enjoy seing your art and will miss it if you cannot…it is all about me…no..I want you to feel better..really…Ginger
Oh, poor you! I tell you, housecleaning is dangerous!! We ought to get hazard pay. Take it easy and relax with a pile of your favorite quilting books and mags, maybe an old movie on tv. It’s virtuous to rest!
OOOH, you poor thing! I hope you feel better. Maybe you could try fusing!
ACK! I hope it heals quickly! (And yes, the brace would be much more stylish in lime green.)
Hey, Gerrie… there is always fabric paint!! It’s not natural fiber, so I’m not suggesting dye.
Heal quickly.
