Monday again, where does the week go? could do with a few more hours in the day and days in a week but that is not going to happen.
No crafting from me this week as managed to slice the top of my thumb off with a mandolin, so careful when slicing the veggies but not enough care taken when washing up, thumb bandaged so well and so huge to be useless and my right hand as well!!! So what have I been doing? reading, going through my journals of ideas just generally chillaxing, in some ways this down time has rejuvenated me to start afresh, have a few ideas whizzing round with a slight change of direction but no more... you will just have to wait and see as the story unfolds, like a butterfly emerging from the Chrysalis into I hope something wonderful.

OUCH!! I hope that heals soon. It's so frustrating to be without the full use of your hand, but it sounds like you're making the most of your time :-)

Hi Caroline, I was hoping your thumb is healing well. Its good that you are using this time for new fresh ideas and I cant wait to see what you come up with. Boy, your show is just around the corner. I wish so much success that the whole show is a great success.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, hope you are able to be creating soon. (()) gail
Oh poor you, that sounds so painful and it sounds like it has come at a busy time for you. Hope the fair goes well and look forward to a 'post' about it. Caroline
ReplyDeleteOwwww!! I did that once many, many years ago (not perhaps quite as badly but it hurt like hell!!) Haven't used a mandoline since...

Had to Google "Mandoline" - I didn't know they were called that! Hope you heal fast and get back to crafting soon!
ReplyDeleteOuch.... but I'm glad to hear that you are putting your time to good use, 'chillaxing' is a great word. Take care and I look forward to seeing what you do next.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your fair.

Oops... hope that the finger recovers soon and you are back to crafting!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, that sounds painful! I hope you heal quickly and are back to crafting soon! I can sympathize and won't even bother to tell you of all the times I've sliced something. Suffice it to say, my husband cringes anytime I use something sharp and often offers to do it for me! :) So you have my honest and understanding sympathy and I FEEL your pain!
ReplyDeleteErr What's a Mandoline? yes man alert lol but it sounds rather musical to me.
ReplyDeleteAnyway sorry to hear about your thumb hope its all better soon.
Ok i will google it but honestly i dont know.

Oh dear, hope your feeling better soon. Mind you, it must be nice for you to have time to plan, knowing how busy you usually are.
ReplyDeleteOh dear that sounds painful. Wishing you lots of luck with the craft fair next weekend and I look forward to seeing your something new.
ReplyDeleteHugs Sue x
Oh no! I hope you're ok Caroline. Good luck with the fayre, thank you for stopping by my blog. I'll let you know how my cases sell - fingers crossed! Looking forward to seeing your new ideas :) x
ReplyDeleteHow did you manage to slice your thumb with a guitar type thing?
ReplyDelete*1 trip to google later*
Ahh I see! ouch!
Hope you are heeling and back to full craftyness as soon as.

OUCH - hope your thumb has started to heal up, it's not until you can't use it that you really appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteHope things go well at your fair.
