stitching failure......

Only three pictures for you today I'm afraid. There hasn't been much embroidery going on here, some hospital visiting and a lot of driving but not much stitching. Someone very dear to me has had an horrendous accident, they will be o.k. after a little surgery but still, it gets you doesn't it. And then there's the ripple, how it affects everyone else who cares about them too. I know my husband recently had an accident, I'm kind of wondering if I'm a bit of a jinx but as I don't live with the second ''accidentee'' I guess it can't be my vibes. But then there's me.....I had an accident yesterday. The kind of freak accident that doesn't do much physical harm but the what ifs are mind blowing and the very accepting of ''how did this happen'' takes some time to get your head round!! I am going to tell you about my accident in great detail, it's the only way I can confirm to myself that it really happened, it wasn't a dream and I didn't imagine it. It's not gory or blood thirsty so there is no need to stop reading but honestly you couldn't make it up. Are you ready? Now sit comfortably and I shall begin....
Yesterday morning I was asleep in bed minding my own business, I was suddenly woken by a huge pain in my head and I actually thought someone had punched me. I opened my eyes, no one there, I rubbed my head, blood! I moved my hand down to look at the blood and cut the back of my hand open. I kid you not I was lying in a pile of broken glass. Now I didn't want to move incase I cut some other part of my body so knowing that hubby was downstairs I called him very calmly using my mobile phone and just said ''could you come here somethings happened''. Of course he came bounding up the stairs and was met by me lying in bed, covered in glass and bleeding from various places. I said you couldn't make it up. Anyway, I have very tall tubular glass bedside lamps and the one on my side was the culprit. All I can think is that I knocked it in my sleep, with an arm?? I still can't get my head round it. I am o.k. small cuts, not deep, I'm a tough northerner you see, sore head but now lacking matching bedside lamps! So sewing? Ha! I wish...

Because of all the goings on around here I think I can excuse myself for failing with my embroidery, I can accept it this time. What you see here was something I started on a plain piece of silk dupion. Do you know what? I really don't like it, can't put my finger on it but can't grow to love it. It is going in the bin. It doesn't matter though because all failures lead to something else, every piece is a learning curve that I take something from. There is a plan forming that will be more successful I promise.
