Crash bang wallop Oww!

That was the start of my day as I fell down the stairs. I have a long scrape on my right arm and a large bump (with the beginnings of a bruise) on the top of my right leg. 

Ben and Herbie rushed to my aid, as did the SO. I had to sit for moment and catch my breath then got to the sofa. Tea was supplied and after a little while I felt much better.

I had a rootle through the fabric stash yesterday and have pulled lots of pinks, some blue with pink floral and may add a little soft green to the mix. I have almost decided on the pattern, I just need to have a look at my white on white. If there is enough I plan on the Tumbling Charm Quilt from Jenny Doan of the Missouri Star Quilt Co. I have made this a few times and it is a simple pattern that showcases the prints.




I aim on getting all the fabric pressed today and cut out, much of it is already 5" charm squares so it should not take too long. I have plenty of wadding and possibly enough of a suitable backing fabric.
I want this to be a fairly quick project as I am not sure of the operation timeline.

I have a small shopping list so will factor that in sometime over the next couple of days.
We have a dry and sunny morning so far and there will be pegging out happening very soon.

There is a black hole in the house that has sucked up all my tea towels, not all but I seem to have a much smaller pile than I did. I have added them to the list but may have to look online. I only like the smooth woven cotton and most of the shops seem to have terry toweling or those lumpy bumpy woven things that shrink alarmingly on the first wash. I could travel into Swansea but have far better things to do with my time. I am going into Neath next week so will have a look in Wilko and Morrisons. There is a Magic and Sparkle but they only have clothes and food.

'Nuff of this, I have lots to do and the dogs are looking at me, it is time for a walk.

    1. It takes my mind off the discomfort and keeps me moving. I have the iron set up in the next room so I have to walk a bit.

    1. It was nasty, and scary. I am quite stiff but keeping mobile in the hopes that it helps.

  6. Hope you're not feeling stiff and bruised after your fall. I find it's usually the day after that the effects are felt.

  7. Oh Pam, you're going to feel very sore in the next day or two :(

    You've been through the wars a bit lately, haven't you? I'm glad you're (relatively) ok and had some concerned people and animals to fuss over you x

    1. It will pass, the less I think about it the less it hurts.

    1. Yes, as I bounced down the thought of a break was at the front of my mind. I am fine, just a bit sore and stiff.

  12. Ouch. I hope you are still feeling okay. Take it easy as I have learned the hard way that bruises hurt more the day after.

    Love those fabrics.

    God bless.
