With only 3 weeks left until Chelsea I go and crush my finger and can not weave a thing!!
I am at home trying to type with one finger whilst my other hand is strapped in a sling trying not to disturb my poor broken swollen finger.
It all happened yesterday whilst altering a piece of metal working machinery when it landed on my finger, it split open the skin and bled everywhere. After spending the whole day in hospital they managed to sew up my finger with 8 stitch’s, but it was too swollen to fix the broken bone.
Wednesday I will be seeing the specialist who will determine how to fix my bones back together.
So it’s stop everything, no weaving, no workshop sessions, no studio just sit at home and rest keeping my hand elevated to reduce the swelling. I am trying very hard to be optimistic, everyone has offered help in any way they can, all determined to help get me to Chelsea. But what a time to do it, my dream is so close but now it feels a long way away.
Will keep you all posted, and keep your fingers crossed! (pardon the pun)
