Ok, so this happened.

By in Griping, seriously?

Somehow, while cutting fabric, I managed to slice off a really big chunk of my finger. Off my left hand, does anyone see a running theme here? At first I thought I might need a stitch but as I ran it under cold water I realized there was nothing to stitch, just a gaping hole oozing blood.

A lot of blood.

Avert your eyes if this kind of thing makes you queasy.

This picture shows what I lost, including nail.

Kind of puts a damper on my all quilting weekend. I will resort to plan B, lots of Portal 2. Things could be worse.

    sweet merciful crap!
    how did you take pictures?! It looks so painful I wouldn’t be able to look at it!

    Things are looking better: I’m down to two normal bandaids this evening, after having it encased in gauze for 24 hours. Even managed to do a big chunk of sewing, so that’s good too.

    Sweet fancy Moses and his aerial display team, you’re not kidding! That’s a monumental chunk of digit. Wow. Argh.

    Your nails do look super, though.

    Ack, gross! And, awesome! Well, awesome pictures at any rate. The pain part is probably not so awesome.
