I've always had a thimble (or two or three) in my sewing box. I've just never used one. They never feel right to me and seemed more work than they were worth. Maybe it's that I usually have longish nails, or that I'm just not used to it. Well, LaLa recently sent me a thimble and it is fantastic! I can wear it for long periods and it seems much more ergonomic than the thimble of yesterday. Now I get the whole thimble "thing!" It really does help if you are going through heavy fabrics, multiple layers, or repetitive stitches. I believe this one was by the Clover company.
Your Frida and Diego dolls are wonderful! How great you and Annie collaberated. This mural is quite a project..32' what a gift to yourself and family. Keep us posted. I so know the feeling of looking and looking, finding time to paint, still looking planning..containing yourself until painting again...it is an amazing process.
I was born on April 1st in Berkeley, California. I'm enjoying a life full of satisfaction and challenge alongside my dear friend and partner, Bill, and our almost twelve year-old daughter, Annie. We have a great house and garden that we share with two dogs, nine canaries, and three fire bellied toads. We are choosing a path of living that holds everyone's needs as precious and equal. We're loving an unschooling approach to education for Annie and ourselves. We're trying to live a life with the least amount of negative impact to the enviornment. One way we're doing that is we're really trying to be mindful about what we buy, how we travel, and how we care for ourselves. I will post my ideas, challenges, and celebrations for doing so on this blog. I would love to hear any of yours too!

Nice thimble indeed!
Ooo! I want one!
I've got one but do not wear that way. I think that I will try it like that. It looks like you can keep it on and still use the needle. Good Idea!

Hey, that is cool!
And you could totally wear it as jewelry. ;)
