Something Happened Saturday...

I am leaving here in a few for my seminar. I have a 2 1/2 hour drive ahead of me. Anyways, I was home yesterday trying to finish up some last minute projects and ran out of black embroidery floss and was not going to drive 20 minutes for it. So, I grabbed my Judy Condon books sat down and decided to redecorate and move furniture. I won't post all the pics yet, but I will show you a few. My header has changed as you can tell so I will show you those pics, but you'll have to wait for the rest.

I know they are a bit grainy, but I was trying a new camera setting and taking them at night. I'll take better ones later...







Now, moving furniture does not come without blood (and lots of it) sweat and tears. Can you tell???



Wow look at the shine on that forehead. LOL. I know it's hard to tell, but yeah I had a piece of furniture fall on me that happened to have a nail sticking out of it that decided to lacerate my forehead and then also give me a fat lip. I also have a HUGE goose egg around the cut to go with it. I'll show you the piece of furniture in my next post. Won't this be fun at the seminar with this little prize. I guess it could be worse it could be that big huge zit that we all seemed to get as teenagers right before the biggest dance of the century right? LOL. I did not go for stitiches, but probably should have or at least butterflies. But you know us medical people we won't set foot in an ER in less we are dead or dying. LOL. This one is gonna leave a mark.

    Oh Mary, I do hope you feel better! That is a nasty little cut there. Yes, us girls do like to move the furniture around when we re-do the decor, don't we? Lol! Your home is just beautiful! Have a good day or hopefully a better rest of the day! ~Beth~

    Love the pics so far Mary!

    Since you got that nasty gash and bump from a nail, I am wondering if your tetanus is up to date? They are good for 10 years, but if in doubt you should get another shot.

    Everything looks so prim...just love the way you decorate and all your creativity.

    Wow that looks like it would really hurt. You probably should have gotten at least the butterflies.
    Blessings,

    Oh Mary, it looks so sore and a bad lip to go with it:( I usually always pull a muscle and have to go to the chiropracter after rearranging. Just would rather do it myself.lol

    Your pictures are wonderful and I'll be checking back to see the rest!

    Oh my goodness, I can relate, I rarely complete a moving around project without injury. Hope you heal up soon, dear. Love what you accomplished though.
