Handwork

The Merriam-Webster online dictionary has this to say about handwork.

I have the following:

I had hand surgery on December 12 to correct a trigger finger that has been giving me lots of problems when doing handwork.

For the next couple of days, my handwork with tapestry moved along a bit slowly...

The dressing was taken off on December 15 and the incision covered with a large bandaid.  I've had very little pains, a bit of slight bruising around my ring finger, the one the surgery has repaired.

Stitches will come out next week and I'll be back to full-speed ahead with my handwork (I hope!)
