As we all know, stitching in the winter can really be rough on thehands. What do you do to treat your hands well in the cold wintermonths? Do you have any suggestions for creams or soaps? Or perhaps aspecial regimen that you would like to share? I have used nearly every cream made for my hands. Although, most have worked ok, none have healed my hands. I use alot of hand cleaner at work. This adds to the dry and cracked knuckles. I have bought a new cream from BeautiControl called Extreme Repair. I have just started using it and I really like it. Alot of creams that seem to help leave my hands feeling greasy. This does not. They feel silky and smooth. So I recommend those who need the "Extreme" treatment and those who just want smooth hands, try this cream!
This is the final bear I will be finishing. I have altered the bear from a brown bear to a polar bear. It is now "Polar Bear" with a Maple Leaf Quilt. I also added the butterfly house and flower from the original polar bear pattern to this one. I will add butterfly charms, black bead eyes and heart buttons to this one also. The bear is stitched with wisper floss. It is for one of my grand daughters. This pattern is one of 4 in a series from Cross Country Stitching.
I have finished the stitching on this bear. I have to put on the beads charms and buttons and then it will be ready for framing. It is going under the Christmas tree for my grand daughter. This pattern is from Cross Country Stitching and it is called: Polar Bear and Butterfly at the Crossroads Quilt. I will be adding butterfly charms, heart buttons and black bead eyes. The bear was stitched with wisper floss. This is the second bear in the series.
