Sore THUMB!!

Last night as I was scrapbooking for the HYWWP housewarming crop, I decided that I would hand stitch on my layout for one of the challenges. I wanted it to look like machine stitch but be by hand!! Reason being because I can not figure out my sewing machine and two I'm too lazy to drag my sewing machine out!! So, I sat there for THREE hours stitching away!! I didn't have a thimble and in return really tore my thumb up!! It is now purple and very sore!! Never again will I get so ambitious with my techniques!! LOL!! I think it was all worth it though??

    Love the layout! I too, am too lazy to drag out the sewing machine. I use the rubon stitches. I had one page where the holes were already punches, so I just had to thread fibers through it....soo easy! Hope your thumb gets better!!

    I saw your LO on SI and I thought wow thats alotta work but it looks awesome, I am too too lazy to sew... I was introduce to bonding tape you iron on your clothes so my needle and thread went out the door a long time ago. ;)
