So impressive that you could do that without an apprenticeship of some kind! I bet your hubby likes it all now that he sees the end result!
here's a trick for soothing and speeding the healing in your poor hands: Each night rub in a cream with a high aloe vera content. Then rub on a layer of Bag Balm. Next put your hands in either cotton socks, or if you have them, cotton gloves. (You don't have to leave them on all night, just a couple of hours). A few nights of this and you will be able to put on pantyhose without snagging them.
