I have short straight across fingernails. Hard cuticles. No fingernail moons. I have tried growing my fingernails out but the nails interferred with typing and quilting. <br />I find men's strong, muscled hands and forearms very attractive!Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858446371419879296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-64292169118918228172009-05-24T08:19:46.854+10:002009-05-24T08:19:46.854+10:00I love your quilts!

I like old hands and sweet baby fingers. You can see(and maybe tell) alot about a person from their hands. Especially when they are in action.

I remember always looking at my father's hands and loving the fact that they were big and tough, but had a measure of gentleness and love in them too. My husband's hands are part of what drew me to him...I could find the warmth and steadiness in them that I wanted as well as being happy that mine fit so well in his. The quilt you showed is beautiful and I thank-you for sharing! Hope you have a great day!Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03753361752878181072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-57909151251061684402009-05-20T20:43:44.782+10:002009-05-20T20:43:44.782+10:00Hi Meggie, I will do this but have just got back f...Hi Meggie, I will do this but have just got back from Wairoa, Napier, Takapau and Palmy North...and tomorrow am away to Invercargill, hope to be home Sunday night so will get onto it then!
