Feeling very frustrated!!!

[Stavert Bears]

Oh how I long too make bears some days, I just want to stand and shout sometimes. I have a very small problem with my hands and just sometimes they do not want to know anything to do with bears!! :mad:
Iam teaching myself more and more to use the sewing machine, but I still find the delicate process of making the head can only be done by hand. Sorry to moan :( but I do get so very FRUSTRATED !
Is there anyone in the forum who perhaps has a similar problem?
Oh and by the way everyones bears are looking fantastic, a great start to 2010.

Aawww Elaine I'm so sorry to hear that. I don't suffer but I can only imagine your frustration. Even without suffering I still sit at work some days or am generally busy and really just want nothing more than to be at home stitching and creating. Hopefully someone on here will have some tips to help you keep going? Keep working on the machine and I'm sure you'll be a whizz at it before long. Beary hugs and besst wishes!

You poor thing, I know how you feel as I used to suffer from carpal tunnel and couldn't do anything creative for a few years. Then I had the operation and its such a joy to get back to knitting and sewing.

I sometimes get frustrated because every day things get in the way, when all I want to do it make bears.

Hope you feel better soon.

Elaine,

I'm sorry to hear that you are suffering. I can imagine how frustrated you must be feeling. A couple of weeks ago I came down with an eye infection, it was so uncomfortable. I couldn't sew or read (or feel like doing much of anything to be honest). They are better now thankgoodness.

Perhaps you could fill your time with designing some new patterns? To keep the creative juices flowing. Then you'll be ready to make a speedy start when things are a bit easier with your hands.

I hope things improve for you asap!

Regards

Lisa

Must be the time of year for illnesses, I have been in bed for days with a kidney infection and am feeling really fed up. I want to be making bears and getting ready for Hugglets and getting prepared for something else, which I will tell you about next week. Hope that this week everyone starts to feel better, the nights are drawing out slowly and spring is on the way, hoorah.:6013:
