"Fairy Pin Cushions" & RSI site update
I hope that everyone enjoyed the summer and that you're all keeping
well. If you have a moment, I'd just like to invite you to drop by and see some updated information on my site. http://www.lynnenicoletti.com/whatsnext.html. There are directions for making little 'Fairy Pin Cushions' (my husband and I gathered sea shells on our holiday this year and these were the result of a lazy afternoon). There's also a design diary for Neptune/Poseidon that explains how this design evolved; news of 2 new designs and, most importantly, a new page, http://www.lynnenicoletti.com/dequervainstips.html , that offers several helpful tips to those who are dealing with De Quervain's Tendonitis (or other RSIs). If you don't mind, I'd also like to ask a favour. would you please let me know of any additional hints that you have for coping with Tendinitis? I'd love to be able to pass them on to others. Thank you very much for your time. have a great afternoon, Lynne Nicoletti |

Oh, Lynne. They are darling!!! If I had known you were working on
pincushions, I'd have contacted you. Such neat "things" to have around, so many ways to do them. What a clever notion!!

Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy days to read about
these little pin cushions. I'm very glad to hear that you enjoyed them and that the directions could be easily followed, Joan. We don't have any cats, Fran, but we do have a lovely, big dog... who would, no doubt, swallow a dozen of these as an appetizer if she ever got hold of them. After all, we caught her in the nick of time when she was about to crunch down into an empty mussel-shell a couple of weeks ago! I'm sorry, Dianne, I never thought to tell you about the cushions... they were really a spur-of-the-moment thing. Those "home organization" shows on TV get to me sometimes and then I feel the need to justify my little collections... rocks, beads, glitter pens, gel pens, ribbons, buttons, packing labels, coloured wire... you know what I mean! Reading about Lula's beautifully creative ways of using things that she collected 'just because' inspired me to actually DO something with some of those shells. I wonder how her harlequin/moon face piece and Madame La Zora are coming along? |

Hello Lynne,
Your shell pincushions are charming and such a clever idea! Also took a look at your designs and they're wonderful originals.....I liked the fairy tales the best! I got the new fabrics for Madame La Zora cut out in the wee hours this morning......my original background was "dumped" in favor of a new more exciting fabric I just found.......this meant a complete change of colors of all the fabrics I had originally planned! Not a problem as I recalled a stack of golden print fabrics that were set aside for the Madame La Mora the belly dancer that now looks great on the new blue, turquoise background fabric instead of the original purple "passion" colors! I've discovered, nothing is done until it's done and even then I've been known to cut things apart and re-do with new colors and all! Overall, I love the unexpected adventure of working with serendipity as a creative partner in designing! Well, then made a simple mistake, while using freezer paper forgetting to reverse the design elements and now have to make a whole group of unexpected adjustments! Fortunately, there's a lot of room for adjusting the cut fabrics with hiding a few uneven seams and such with the use of embellishments and embroidered touches. Too bad I must set Madame aside once again and get back to painting and working on the "trunk" show for my Houston trip. --- Lula http://www.woolydream.com Needlework Adventures Lynne Nicoletti wrote: Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy days to read about these little pin cushions.

Hi Lula,
It's nice to hear from you. I'm glad you liked the pin cushions and thank you very much for wandering about my site. I admire your art and your compliments are much appreciated. So, Madame La Zora's leading you down a new path! It sounds like she's tempering her passionate side a little and becoming more mysterious and exotic. What a shame about the pattern reversal... thank goodness you'll be able to disguise the problem with embellishments (I'm sure she won't mind a few extra 'jewels' here and there). It's amazing, isn't it, that no matter how far along a design might be, it remains fluid right up to the very end. Of course, it can be quite frustrating too. Sometimes, just when you think it's all done, something new will enter the realm of possibilities. Unexpected inspiration in the shapes formed by a silhouette or seen in a piece of driftwood; the gleam off a door-knob; the palette presented in a magazine page... they all conspire to propel us in another direction and find out "what happens if... ". Have a great weekend, Lula, and all the best with your Houston trip. "lula" wrote in message ... Hello Lynne, Your shell pincushions are charming and such a clever idea!

Do you plan to leave the directions on your website, or should I save it on my computer so I don't lose them? By the way, I'm immersed in the Bluenose Dime right now. I'm enjoying it greatly (can't wait to finish the grey/silver and move on to another colour :- ) and am stitching it instead of doing homework. Rachel |

Hi Rachel, I'm sorry to have, seemingly, overlooked your message... it
doesn't appear on my computer and I've just noticed it on our son's machine (he uses a different server). I'm glad you liked the Fairy Pin Cushions, and don't worry, I plan on leaving the instructions up for a while at least. It's great to know that you're enjoying the Bluenose Dime and I can definitely relate to stitching instead of doing homework... or vacuuming... or laundry... or grocery shopping... or raking leaves... or...

It's great to know that you're enjoying the Bluenose Dime and I can definitely relate to stitching instead of doing homework... or vacuuming... or laundry... or grocery shopping... or raking leaves... or... LOL! I can certainly relate to you!!! Any form of handicraft, reading, bird-watching, or anything that keeps me away from any of the things you mention does it for me! I`ve just come in from planting some bulbs which have been glaring at me for a few weeks. I leave them near the front door so I can`t miss them, but I STILL procrastinate. I love the flowers, am a compulsive buyer of Spring bulbs, but hate planting them. Can`t bend down for too long, in any case. My mind is in my twenties, but the body is DEFINITELY heading for seventy! John isn`t really up to it either although that reminds me - GOOD NEWS! We saw his cardiologist yesterday and she`s signed him off - says she`s extremely pleased with his progress, and he`s as fit as he can expect for 72!!! It`s been a long, scary year, but he`s taking the dogs out every day now, and has just doubled the distance. We have two-way radios, but he usually "forgets" to take it, which makes me mad - and means if he takes longer than usual I`m out looking for him! Pat P |
