I Went on a Trip...

UP THE STAIRS!!! My flip flop tripped me when I was jogging up the stairs. I tried to brace myself, but the only thing that hit the corner of the moulding was my middle finger. All of my weight on that one finger. Well, I about dropped to my knees. It's bruised and even my arm and shoulder ache, because of how fast I was going. I bought one of these little braces just to keep it from bending to much. This happened on Wednesday and it's getting much better.

The reason why I'm blogging about this is because I am a "Glass is Always Half Full" type of person. Always look for the positive in something. Well look at these next few pictures...

Ok, this first one is not so great...makes my hand look funny!

But this picture is a different story. Is this a Tool Time Tuesday or what?!?! That blue foam cushion is perfect for a pincushion. Just be careful when you replace the pins and needles back in there. At first I was joking about this with my husband, but then I got to thinking...

This is how I hold my hexagons when I'm sewing them together, not using that middle finger anyway. So why not have a pincushion there!!! You may think this one is crazy, but you know me, always thinking out of the box. Maybe I hit my head when I tripped and didn't know it!!!

This is Annie our yellow lab wondering why I'm taking a picture of my finger outside!! This picture looks cloudy, because we've had rain and gray skies here in the northeast for weeks. Heavy rain tonight and rain all the way into next Thursday. We need summer.

Have a great day...hope you have a little sun where you are.
