This little piggy

Remember the children's story about the little pigs.  Well, one piggy went to market, one little piggy stayed home, one little piggy ate roast beef . . . . . .

And my next little piggy is BROKEN!  Swollen to at least twice its normal size and the loveliest (not) shade of purple.

I have a terrible habit of kicking off my shoes under my desk and tucking my feet under me when I am in middle of a big project.  I went down the hall to the copier in my sock feet and heard my phone ring.  I ran to catch the phone and BAM - caught my foot on the edge of the desk.   Stupid

Despite that unfortunate incident I got two big projects completed and submitted today. I think having those hanging over my head at work was stifling my creativity at home.   Since that little breakthrough I have picked up the hook again.  Plus the looming deadline of needing a new rug by February 10th was additional incentive.


So the countdown is on.  (And the throbbing continues)

    Oh dear, sorry about that sore little piggy toe. If you didn't swear when that happened, you're a better person than me. Ouch... I hate that when that happens.

    I'm glad that you got those projects done and out of the way today so now you can concentrate on your charity rug.

    The little birdie looks very cute. Hope to have another peek at your rug soon. Hugs JB

    Goodness you are not having any luck with your feet lately! I think you are getting signs that you need to sit still! ;)

    Love the little birdie! (It is a birdie right? I don't trust my eyesight-to-brain function right now LOL!) I can't wait to see what you've come up with.

    Ouch! I remember doing exactly the same thing a few years ago. Amazing how much it hurts isn't it? Hard to get an icepack on that piggy.

    Can't wait to see the rest of that mat.

    Owwwwiiiiieeeeeeeeeeee Kim! I am so sorry about your little piggy, not as sorry as you are I am sure but I am feeling bad for you. I broke my big toe doing a sock sliding move into the fridge! Did they make you tape it to the next piggy? Take care Kim!

    ouch my toe hurts just reading that. I hope it is better. I am getting caught up on your past post. I will tell you the strength in the women that I call friends are amazing. When we had David's health crisis they rallied around took care of my house and yard. Called and left us to be together.
    I am so blessed because all of these women are having life issues of their own but yet they dropped it and surounded me. while men can be very helpful to friends, women lead with their hearts.
