I spent some quiet time with Ruth (Singer 301 inherited from my dear MIL) this past week, stitching and enjoying my perennial garden through the window, it's much cooler inside. 😉 Do you ever have times when you can't seem to get out of your own way? I do. The last few days have been especially bad, maybe my bio-rhythms are off or something; I don't know. I got up to visit the bathroom the other night, I don't turn any lights on and quietly zip right back into bed. Not this time! I stubbed my baby toe squarely on the chair leg as I rounded the corner coming out of the bathroom. Oh! My!! Goodness!!!🤩🤩🤩 I did manage to control myself and not cry out in pain, Mr. Goodneedle kept right on sleeping. I haven't been able to wear any shoe other than a flip flop this week, it's a good thing it's summer. When our daughter was a little girl she used to say "
stuffed her toe" when that happened, it's a pretty good descriptor- I
stuffed mine alright- and really
good! So, yesterday, I was putting away rulers in the long drawer under my cutting table and, apparently, I'm quicker at pushing the drawer shut than I am at removing my finger! Once more: 🤩🤩!!
I've added stars to this small wallhanging, it's the July "
Calendar Quilt" for the side porch. Now you're seeing stars too! Do you have those moments when you shake your own head at being such a klutz? I sure do; so, for today, I'm nursing a badly bruised and bandaged finger and staying away from anything with a sharp edge! One can't be too careful. 😉
Life is Good!

oooh gorgeous RWB wall quilt...watch those appendages tho...lol
Oh, my, sorry your appendages seem determined to bang into things! I’m a natural klutz when distracted and can relate! Hope you heal up fast. “Stuffed” toes take forever to feel better, it seems!
Caught my baby toe on the �� jam once when I shuffled out of the bathroom with my pants around my ankles in search of a towel in the hall closet. My toe was at a 45 degree angle to my �� ! I feel your pain, Deb���� stay safe!!!!
I am sorry you "saw stars" stubbing your poor toe! But I like your starry quilt!! Hugs!
Ouch
Oh, yes--been there, done that. However, I didn't restrain myself, and cried out in pain while hobbling around the room. Hope things start going more smoothly for you.
Your patriotic wall hanging is really fun. :)
Yes, that seems to be happening more in our house too. Is it spacial coordination that is going downhill with age? I used to be able to maneuver around things and without even looking but now I'm watching where my feet and fingers go! (And shoulders and knees...)
