So were at day 3 of 2013 and I have not worked on any projects - I like to blame my hand but with the Christmas season and running around for work and home I really have not had much time.
When in that mood I typically surf and checkout what everybody else is doing or find some project I might like to work on.
I found a cool wire design bracelet that I downloaded the pattern to last night and it will be good therapy for my hand (my hand is not in too bad shape - I can type, I can cut with scissors pretty good, , write, and draw again (started a zentangle last night ) there is limited movement - you dont think when you say palms up - I cant quite do 1/2 turn as yet but I am getting doors knobs open better - time is what it will take and use)
back to my plan for therapy - want to do some hand stitching, wire wrapping etc.. I entered braded bracelet and got the following pic - I loved it .
