I messed with it for so long, ruining two different kinds of leather and finally I hit on using painters tape. Not 100% perfect, but very close.

I think a lot of people (including myself) thought the title of the fairy tale is The Princess And The Pea, which is apparently not accurate.

Precisely…

Thanks @Aloha, @Jules!
Yes, the story goes that the princess proves to be a princess by sleeping on a pile of mattresses and still feeling the pea that was put on the bottom layer. She is that delicate. My sister and I always laugh about this, because it appropriately describes me - very sensitive critter.

Where’s your banana?
OMG, I love this! Persian carpets! reading lamps! Now you need a rocking chair and a cat. (No pressure, of course…)
I must show this to a friend, who owns a used book store. He’s made it cozy, with little nooks and special chairs so buyers can snuggle up with an interesting book before they buy. At the far end of the store is one of those corner “fireplace” units. I love to go there on a cold day and have coffee and a book.

Your friend’s store does sound lovely!
Yes, I’m notoriously good at forgetting the comparison thingy. We never have bananas (so not a fan of banana bread) and a while back when I was chastised gently by @jules I begged my husband for a quarter (I don’t do change either), and I have that on my gf working desk. I still forget it… Let’s just say its small, very small, wee small (just reading a Scottish detective novel).

Ditto! My husband teases me about being the princess from this story.

We lived in Italy in the 70’s and I collected those books as well as the fans that had the images on them. Thank you so much for reminding me of them! And now I need to start planning… 
Several years ago - pre Glowforge, I made a metal book for a necklace for my gaming character. My husband illustrated the pages for me.

Love your necklace book!

I think that’s why I love fairy tales so much. We had this thick book with his illustrations in it.

Thanks! Shaky fingers don’t help, I often use hobby tweezers as well.

Prescription Voltaren Gel 1%
This product is a wonder drug for arthritis in the hands!!! Do not get the generic version.
My insurance will only pay for the generic. I use a Goodrx coupon at the pharmacy and the cost is $60 a tube. Worth every single penny.
One tube lasts me 2-3 months.
Only 15 minutes after applying —— I am pain free for hours.

Yep, been there, done that… but like the princess on the pea, I started to react after a few months with more pain rather than less.
