Default for any crafters out there...

For those of you who like to scrapbook, etc., but are having trouble getting
their hands to work properly, Fiskars has some products which might help.

They make a razor knife which sort of clips to your finger and doesn't have to
be held too tightly. Here is a site showing it...

For those who like to use various shape paper punches, they also make some
which can be squeezed like pliers and don't take as much force as the regular
punches. Here is the site featuring them...

Things like this are so incredible - it is such a relief to be able to do
the things we like to do as painlessly as possible or with pain for a short
time but meaning we can do it. Thanks for the links Norman.

I will add that fons and Porter (2 quilters who market under that name) make
gloves that will resist cuts to your hands when using craft knives. I don't
use them (haven't tried them I am afraid) but they are on the market and
many do.
