Tonight is not going so well. I was working on appliques when somehow my exacto rolled off the table and plunged into my foot. Dh is trained in first aid (thank goodness) so he had it bandaged and elevated. He doesn't think it need stitches, but he's going to re-evaluate in 30 mins.
To make matters worse, my 4-yr old just woke up vomiting. We all were feeling queasy after eating the pizza we ordered. Great.
It's amazing how quickly something like that can happen. Once a work I was using a hand-drill on a hand-woven basket and slipped off and the drill went into my arm. The bad part was that I had to put it in reverse to get it back out of my arm. Yeah, that will make your tummy turnover. You want to talk about feeling stupid. I never held did that again.
Omg!!! That must have been so scary.
I agree that accidents can really happen in the blink of an eye. My new policy is that as soon as I stop cutting, even for an instant, the cap goes back on. I'll probably cap it hundreds of times, but at least I'll avoid thus happening again. The good news is that it missed a big vein by a couple of centimeters so at least it wasn't as bad as it could have been.
