A couple of weeks ago, I had a slight mishap during which this happened:
I can tell you there is no graceful way to fall headlong off a kick scooter onto very hard pavement, and pavement + right hand = fractured metacarpal. This, of course, means No Sewing, which is a Disaster.
Except it isn’t. In fact it’s been a useful, if somewhat painful, experience. I’ve ended up with a little time on my hands, to think and reflect and wonder about where I am and where I’m going next. It will be another few weeks before I can sew again but in the meantime there are plans, one of which is to be here again. This site is still a work in progress and there are still a few things to add, but I’ve made a start and everything is, as it were, in hand.
It is always useful to have time to think, and when you’re busy working on something isn’t always the best time to think!
Yes, I would never have given myself this much time out. It’s been very useful and quite therapeutic.
