Yes, you read that correctly.
I have a stitching injury that will probably require advanced medical technology and/or the careful attention of a Mayo Clinic trained physician who might look remarkably like Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
Do you suppose that I could get my hands on some of that fancypants tape that all of the Olympic athletes are wearing? You know -- the stuff that they put on their excruciatingly well-sculpted parts to assist them in jumping the approximate length of a football field while simultaneously whistling the theme song from the first Rocky movie?
Here is where I should probably confess that my injury is really nothing more than a sore spot on my finger that is caused by the repeated poking of a needle through this:
Seasons
AmyBear Needlepoints
(color conversion in honor of the 2012 London Olympic games)
It's coming along nicely, and I really am enjoying every minute of it, but I realize now that I would be crazy lucky to finish it before the end of the closing ceremonies on Sunday. I'm determined, though, so I suppose that I had better get back to the Happy Chair before the day gets away from me again.
Stewey, of course, is completely disgusted by all of it and secretly wishes that I would just run away from home. I keep catching him in the closet moving my things about as if he's measuring for a new organizing system for his little silk smoking jackets.
"I could have thrived with a smarter owner."
Kinesio tape...promotes faster healing by affecting the circulation and lymph sytem to that muscle, etc. As you have seen in the Olympics, it can be cut in small strips as needed by the body part. Maybe in the shape of a needle since that was the culprit?
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on "Seasons".

Great progress, I just love looking at your stitching. Great pic of Stewey, he is such a photogenic guy. :)
ReplyDelete"Season's" looks lovely - your progress is stupendous!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! That needlepoint is beautiful. Your stitching is so nice. Great colors. Can't wait to see the final product.
ReplyDeleteNeedlepoint causes my fingers to be sore as well. I tend to use a band-aid to add some cushion. Season's looks Amazing! I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteLoving Seasons! Sorry about the injury, but the callouses on my fingers speak to overcoming the same type of injury.
ReplyDeleteWow!! I am just a hooker, your needle skills are worthy of at the very least A Pure Gold. Great work/play.Ms. Casey told me to tell Mr. Stewey to make nice to the hands that feed him. :)
ReplyDeleteConnie - this is fantastic! I am crossing my fingers that you are going to share the actual colors and fibers that you are using. I don't care what Stewey thinks - you have great taste!
ReplyDeleteI think you have made great progress. Just don't eat or sleep so you can finish it on time.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Love everything about it!!!
ReplyDeleteStewie has such great facial expression! I love the colors you chose for the project! Don't let Stewie downplay your talents, lady!
ReplyDeleteLove the stitching, love Stewey, love the posts - you brighten my day!

ReplyDeletesorry for enabling. Please tell Stewey not to hate me too much. LOL
It's looking gorgeous, great progress
ReplyDeleteYou and me both, with the Olympic injuries!! I have a bruised elbow from where it rests in my chair with my 'Olympic' stitching sessions. Every night, many hours, but oh boy the Olympics have been capativating, as always. I love them and have withdrawals after they are over. I, too, am hoping to finish a piece...sighing though, I don't think it will quite happen. Check out itsallaboutsherry.blogspot.com for beginning picture and hopefully in the next week, an ending picture! Enjoy the closing ceremonies, Coni! Hope your finger heals quickly.
ReplyDeleteGreat needlepoint with great humor...and a dog! Thanks for the smiles. Love following yours and Stewey's blog!

You never fail to entertain me. I am usually LMAO when I read your posts. This one almost had me on the floor! Love your blog and your stitching is gorgeous and don't let Master Stewey tell you otherwise! I don't stitch much anymore and have moved on to making cards. Having 3 adorable granddaughters does that to you!
