I adjusted my easy chair and positioned my footstool "just so" and gathered up my stitching. Yes I had a Saturday where I didn't have anything planned except to make spaghetti and stitch. Everything was going well until around 8 p.m.
That was when the needle slipped and went underneath my fingernail. Ouch! I took a small break until the bleeding stopped. Of course I had made a goal for myself and I needed to stay on course. I was stitching a test pattern and wanted to get it done mostly done this weekend since I knew I was going to be busy next Saturday. So back to stitching I went. 8:15 the second slip of the needle occurred and this time some blood dripped down on the fabric. Just a couple of little drops which I quickly cleaned up but it told me that I needed to stop for the night.
This morning I looked at my finger since it was still sore and I think that I scraped my finger maybe a little more than I thought I had.
I know it doesn't look like much but boy is it tender this morning. Will it stop me from stitching? Of course not. I need to finish the test pattern and stay on schedule. I will take breaks though today. I have a new tea pot that was made for me. Eventually I plan on getting a soup bowl and/or plate to go with it. It was made by Shalom Dunn in Arkansas.
I love those colors. They arrived safely all packed up in what appeared to be TONS of bubble wrap via Fed Ex. :)
Hmmmm. Now to figure out which type of tea I will make first. Decisions...Decisions...
