The Finger. Or How I Won the Stupid Award.
I sewed through my left index finger with the sewing machine on Monday night. If you notice an increase in the numver of typos, it's because I'm typing 9-fingered now. Unfortunately, I didn't get copies of my xrays that showed the needle fragments still in my The Finger. Those were pretty cool looking.
While I hadn't written a blog entry in a while, this is not the recommended method for getting new inspiration, kids.
Ouch! That's awful!!! I'm so sorry you're hurting and broken... *snuggles gently* I hope you have a nice speedy recovery. And don't get too hooked on your painkillers!
waaaaaaaaayyyy back when i was a freshman in high school and taking "home ec", a classmate actually sewed her hand to her project.
*pauses for an OW! in remembrance*
she had sewed right thru the 'webbing' between her thumb and her hand, something like 4-6 stitches, and the machine and needle seemed to handle it just fine...she apparently didn't even feel the pain at first, what had stopped her was her hand getting stuck by the pillar of the presser foot..
*more OW!*
what was weird was watching her trying to save her project by attempting to cut the thread between her hand and the project.
*lots of OW!*
thanks to that stellar example, i haven't ever sewed myself with a sewing machine, in around 20-odd years of sewing. my heart goes out to ya, jackalope! **huggles**

I hope it gets better soon.
