Hi Shelly,
Had to giggle at your post, I thought it was just me with the middle finger hurting like mad after sewing! I'd convinced myself I was sewing wrong or something, so I'd just have to put up with it. I can feel a nosy on ebay coming up! Thanks for the tip, I'd have never known where to buy rubber thimbles from.

If I hadn't used them at work I wouldn't have known they existed! I really want them to hurry up and come now because I done some stitching yesterday but didn't really enjoy it because I was just waiting for the pain to come everytime I pushed the needle through from the back

When looking on ebay search for thimblettes, this is apparently their proper name. I got much better hits/deals when using the word thimblettes rather than rubber thimble.

Yay got given a nice new bag just the right size for putting latest stitching project in - and dh wants to take kids out for the afternoon so I can have some mummy time all to myself :jWhat shall I do, housework, school work or STITCHING?!

Dorastar, i hope you chose stitching, mothers day is not a day for housework

Update time, got more done on the far right, still feels like its taking ages, haha.

Sweetcarer that looks absolutely stunning now you've unrolled it and photographed it whole. I can't wait to see it framed. It actually looks HUGE, what size is it?

Hope all you mums have had a lovely Mother's Day. I have been busy stitching and I'm off back to it now for a few hours while hubby is at work and daughter's watching her programmes on tele.

Ooops - started stitching and er.... fell asleep! Woke up on sofa with a blanket over me and a note from dh to say they had gone round to Nans cos I was obviously a bit tired:o Hadn't done many stitches either
