I have a numb thumb...

handstitching through coutil is hard, hard work.  Even with a crewel sharp it took some time and my fingers are numb!  But it's done; I have half a corset and it looks good.... oh, why be modest?  It looks great!  Anyways, to bed, to sleep and then I can tackle the second half tomorrow; nothing like half of something finished to make you want to see it all done.
