The Dangers of Being a Smam with Sharp Tools

Okay, guys, let's face it.  I should not be allowed to hold sharp objects EVER.

Today I almost sliced off my right index finger with my rotary cutter.

While cleaning the blade, I subconsciously decided to play chicken with the sharp, round knife.

Surprise, surprise! 

I lost.....

The big mean blade won.

I also tend to burn my fingertips while ironing.  I like to touch the SUPER HOT fabric without thinking about it.

Because of this incident, I have to wait for my finger to heal before I can attempt to start cutting fabric again, as I'm right handed and I NEED that finger a lot to cut and sew and all that other good stuff.  Maybe like a week.  This will also give me time to get into my school routine.  Because school starts back tomorrow morning.  Joy.  

Good night, everybody!  

Ironing

Bet you thought I forgot about you.  WRONG!!!!  I've just been SUPER lazy.

I have realized that I really like to iron.  I don't know if it's a good stress reliever or what, but I think I could iron for hours.  Which I have done!  I have taken to sitting in my floor with a tabletop ironing board and an iron.  As a matter of fact, I was just distracted for 20 minutes doing just that.

Did you know that fabric has a mind of its own?  I swear it does!  My seams knew which way they were going to lay.  I had no say in the matter.  Stupid fabric.....  If you can't already tell, I've been pressing seams.  I finally got around to piecing and and sewing and while I still have pieces to cut out and sew together, I decided to get started on what I already have.  I'm pretty excited about it, actually.

I have been procrastinating and now I'm almost out of time.  School starts in a week and I have no money to finish up so I'm job hunting in order to do just that.  I think I should be able to finish the top, though, so that's good!

I feel much better now than I did when I woke up this morning.  I don't know what happened, but I was not in a good mood when I woke up.  I think ironing made me feel better.  Mindless work that needed to be done that everyone else can't mess up.  Because they ALWAYS mess......  lol  Anyway, I hope everyone is having a great day!
