Things that go bump in the afternoon….
Goodness….. how time flies! I can’t believe I have been so busy I’ve only had two posts in how long?????
Well the thing that went bump was me…yesterday…. I was printing out a photo for my younger son for his Social Studies homework, and it fell on the floor–this was up in my studio, the printer is up there and I was sitting on chair I use at the sewing machine. I bent over to pick up the photo and before I knew it, I was slamming my head into the corner of the fourposter bed, and the chair pictured in this photo:
was in TWO parts….base (still stable on the floor) and top! Usually when the screws come loose (yes, this provided great mirth in my family, once they realized I was OK–I kept insisting it was the CHAIR that had loose screws…..I failed to convince them it was the ONLY thing that rattled), I can tell, the chair wobbles, and I get out the screwdriver.
Here’s a picture of the studio… you can see the lovely 200+ year old bed behind my worktable. That tall post…the one with the SHARP corner…was the one that put the little cut in my head.
Basically, I’m fine, have a doozy of a bruise on the back of my leg from banging onto the front corner of the chair, and promptly returned to photo-printing and working on a sample for a “tester” workshop I’m offering to Coastal Quilters tomorrow. I actually have photos ready to go for at least seven blogposts, and just haven’t had time to write.
One reason for my absence…I’m prepping kits and supplies for teaching in Houston. The other main one: my book has received its FINAL edits! All in all, I am THRILLED! Stay tuned… I’ve got more to share……now, back to prepping for tomorrow’s workshop.

Whew, I’m glad you weren’t hurt worse! Congratulations on your book and also on your recent cash prize win. You are really on a roll this past year, it seems like. Just be careful of that rolling chair….

I knew you were busy with getting ready for Houston, not to mention the rest of your life. Ice up all the hurt areas!
