Things Did Not Go As Planned

***Warning*** Gross injury description below.

Good day, my friends.

I sure hope you had a great weekend.  Mine didn’t quite go as planned.

Hubby and I did get our Friday night pizza.  And I made the peach crisp. Then this happened…

As soon as I took the crisp out of the oven, a flying ant got into the house.  He landed above a window. I removed the cushion from the chair below the window so I wouldn’t slip. I killed the ant. As I was stepping down, my hand slipped off the arm of the chair and I fell. I was shocked to see my ring finger on my left hand was at a 45-degree angle, sideways.  I quickly snapped it back into place and called for my husband to remove the bug remains from the wall.

Since the last place I wanted to be on a Friday night (or any night, really) is an emergency room, I waited until Saturday to go to urgent care.  The X-rays showed a possible chip close to the knuckle. And one of the physical tests indicated I may have torn some soft tissue. They put the finger in a splint, buddy-taped it to another finger and referred me to an orthopedic specialist, which I will see this morning.

I’m not in any pain, unless it is touched.

Saturday was rainy and pretty much a bust. But I did receive a bit of happy mail.

Do you remember Sinta? She used to blog at Pink Pincushion.

I think her last post there was in 2019. Well, we can find her these days under the same name on Instagram.  She is still making the most beautiful quilts and recently made one from Fig Tree’s Strawberry Garden book. The book is published by It’s Sew Emma, which is owned by the Fat Quarter Shop. Since Sinta was a model quilter for the book, she was allowed to give away a copy of the book on her IG.

I was the lucky winner! This book is chock full of beautiful quilts using Fig Tree fabrics, which I love.  I enjoyed looking through the book while resting, icing and doing all the things I was told to do.

By Sunday, I was getting pretty bored. Since there was no way I was going to take my chances with a rotary cutter, I decided to stitch.

Liberty House got quite a few stitches added to it.

I’m hoping for good results from the doctor’s this morning. And I’m leaving the bugs to my hubby from now own.

Enjoy your day and week ahead.
