At the beginning of February, I fell and hurt my wrist and have spent the many weeks with a splint.<\/p>\n
This has been extremely frustrating, since my New Year’s Resolution was to create a working sewing space in my studio. Trying to tidy up, move equipment and sort through boxes of fabric is not easy with only one functional hand!<\/p>\n
To make matters worse, last week, I ruptured a tendon in my thumb. A second x-Ray revealed a fracture that had disrupted the blood supply, resulting in a dysfunctional thumb.<\/p>\n
Thanks to our wonderful National Health Service, I was admitted the next day for an operation that transferred a “spare” index finger tendon to it’s neighboring thumb. This resulted in a hefty plaster cast for two weeks, to be followed by a moulded plastic cast for six weeks.<\/p>\n
Needless to say, sewing got bumped down the list of “things I can do single-handed”. I’ve been resigned to not being able to conduct Sewing Workshops for quite some time. Instead, I am tidying (slowly), and keeping myself busy by planning future workshops<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
