Who said rug hooking isn't dangerous

As I was working on packing up my stuff I went into my back storage room and there was a rug hooking stand hanging from the ceiling which came crashing down on my head---I said "ouch" or something like that, and put my hand to the back of my head and discovered blood all over my hand.  I grabbed a rag to put pressure on it and called my husband who had gone to Costco to come home.  I called my doctor's office and she was off today so they said I would have to go the the ER.  I am now sporting four staples in my head---the ER doc shot it with numbing stuff and then started putting in the staples---ouch!  more numbing stuff and still ouch!  I don't know if he didn't wait long enough or if the numbing stuff was just water!

It was a good thing I got my hair cut and colored yesterday!

This has set me back a bit today---I guess I'd better get back to work although a nap sounds really good and I never nap.

This will be a boring post without a picture so let me see what kind of eye candy I can find in my photo files.

This pattern  is called High Wide and Handsome---I hooked this piece for a Teaching piece at
South Central teacher's workshop several years ago---it is a Night Blooming Cereus.  It is hooked in a
#9 cut and the wool was dip-dyed---very long pieces!

This is a pillow that I hooked at Northern Teacher's workshop---the two on the left were hooked in 4/5 cut textures and the two on the right were #3 cut dip and cross-swatches.

I must be ready for Spring!!!
