Finger Support

I don't often make direct recommendations for products online, mainly because I believe everyone should do their own research and try things out. I'm going to make a rare exception today because I've had such success with the product, and I think it can definitely help others with arthritis in their hands.

I have trigger finger as well as moderately severe arthritis in both hands, and I can now actually dislocate one finger at will by moving it the wrong way. That's why I was looking for some finger braces that would shore up my damaged joints but still allow me to move and curl my fingers. I invested in VOCOSTE 10 Pcs Breathable Finger Sleeves, Thumb Braces Support Elastic Compression Protectors for Relaxing Pain Arthritis Trigger Finger, Gray, which cost $12.99 for ten at the time I wrote this post on June 1st.

From the moment I put them on I knew they were exactly what I needed to help support my joints. They're lightweight, snug without cutting off circulation, and allow me to still bend my fingers. The extra support helped reduce my pain quite a bit, too.

Here's how they look on the two problem fingers of my working hand. I am really happy that I bought these sleeves, and I'll probably invest in another set to have backups. Available on Amazon.com.

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

The Mercantile

If you don't mind walking 33K square feet in retail space, The Mercantile may be the vintage/arts store you'd enjoy visiting if you're ever in Orlando. I certainly did. Because it was busy I didn't take any photos in the store, but it's absolutely amazing and chock full of antiques and artisan creations, most of which were pretty reasonably priced. For $21.00 I invested in a picture of sailboats for the guest bathroom I'm redoing, and a fairy mystery jar of cool stuff. The jaw was hand-painted and decorated, and utterly charming. I think I wanted the jar more than the contents. As you can see the contents were both generous and pretty cool, too. I finally have some vintage gloves to use for my art quilter bingo challenge!
