Odd Injuries


First it was the elbow (bursitis) caused by Lego building with Carter. Then it was the bruised palm (from painting my bedroom). Now it's the bruised side on my left index finger (from cleaning a roasting pan). What's next?

Have you had any odd injuries?

Hmmmm....odd injuries?? How about falling while leaving the hairdresser's and shattering your elbow and breaking your arm in 4 place.

My last strange injury was caused by reaching across the hot iron - lovely little burn in the inside of my left arm. Way to go. Hope your bruise is better.

Does hurting my shoulder a bit from too much Nintendo Wii? It was nothing serious but I had to take a little break from bowling and boxing.

I stubbed my toe about a month ago (3rd toe in), but I didn't really notice it. All of a sudden a few weeks later, it was all infected looking, but because it isn't one of the toes that really bears a lot of weight, I didn't feel it. Then I noticed that it would get better, but then would flare up again. I figured out that it was the way I was holding that foot while I was on the computer. Random? Yes.

Strange!

I don't have freaky injuries, so much as careless ones. Um, sewed through my finger. Gashed another one with the electric hedge trimmers. OH, my knees hurt at night because I sit with one leg propped under the other and then I have to walk funny to stretch it out. Hmm. We're not...getting old.. are we?

Yeah, I sewed through my finger Christmas Eve trying to finish pajamas. And if I am not careful how I hold my dressmaker shears,I will get a numb spot on the outside of my thumb where the handles rub. It is really annoying because once it happens it stays numb for months.

Ouch! No freaky injuries that I can think of right now, but I ironed my foot once. Long story...

You definitely come up with some strange maladies, doll. Although with all those kidlets underfoot and all the projects you undertake, you're bound to run into a *few* obstacles, I suppose.

One of my weirder injuries was managing to bruise the arch of my foot (visibly bruise it- yeowch)by walking like a moron in my new leather mules in college. They managed to slip forward on my foot and I came down full force with the arch of my foot on the back of the shoe.

OMG - it was bad news.

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

Cloth Napkins

Happy Earth Day! Last year I made a bunch of cloth napkins using the rolled hem feature of my serger. And, while we used them a lot in the beginning, I kind of forgot about them and paper napkins crept back into our lives. (Although, I must admit that paper are better for cleaning up spilled lemonade and for packing in my boys' lunches. I'm afraid I'd never see them again if they were in a lunchbox.) I am trying to be more mindful of our waste. I find myself asking, "Can I reuse, reduce, recycle, or repurpose this?" about every thing. I recently discovered our town has a receptacle just for paper recycling. That makes me giddy. We get tons of papers from school, so now I can load it up and drop them off at town hall. So, in honor of Earth Day, I am giving away this set of six cloth napkins. They are made from thrifted, vintage (therefore repurposed) sheets that are leftovers from various projects. If you'd like a chance to win them, please leave a comment on ...
