Sewing can be dangerous!

Last Thursday we were working on our home,
like we usually do.
My sweet husband was working on our bay window in one of our bedrooms.
He was using the table saw, circular saw, and chop saw.
Yet, he escaped harm.
I was sewing the final two pillow covers for our couch.
I piped the edges,
(I didn't do it the proper way, I was just shoving rope into the seam and sewing around it)
and as I was trying to cut the rope to the proper length
I was finagling the fabric, rope, and scissors,
I apparently forgot or neglected to make sure my finger was out the way.
I needed a lot of leverage to cut the rope,
and you guessed it.
As I snipped the rope,
I snipped my finger!
Thankfully my sweet husband was in the room at the time,
I don't do well with my own blood.
I made it to the bathroom sink just fine.
But after that I felt a little woozy.
My sweet husband is so wonderful!
He bandaged me up and looked at the wound!
He called my dad to make sure I didn't  need stitches,
and then has bandaged me up several times since.
And he cleaned up the mess!
He rocks!

If you look closely at this pillow you will see the carnage...
well some of it, it was EVERYWHERE!
 After washing and ironing they look like nothing happened!

P.S. My sweet husband's brother came home from his mission yesterday! 
Pictures to come soon! I forgot my camera, so I have to steal some pictures from my mother-in-law.

  2. You really put your blood, sweat, and tears into that Addie! Ha ha.

    Piping is a total pain. I find the best cheater way to do it is to buy cheap pre-made piping at Wal mart, then re-cover it with with the fabric you like.
