DANGER WILL ROBINSON DANGER



Hi Everyone!
No I do not have the Sci Fi oldies channel on. I am having a danger day. LOL  First you have to know that high on my list of things I love, are tools, especially power tools!!!




I would rather shop for tools than clothes.


Deep breath and long sighhhhhh No this is NOT me... I am much better looking LOL aaahh ha ha ha


Actually this is more me :)
 So now you know how much I like power tools. Today I was putting the last touches on a new leather mask. I was using my trusty hot fix tool that I bought from ArtBeads.com  I only had a few more crystals to attach when all of a sudden I felt pain in my little finger. OMG I was burning my self!!!!! No kidding. I ran to the sink and put cold water on my hand then to the freezer for something, anything frozen. I held the bag of what ever to my hand as I hobbled to the bathroom (Remember I have a medical boot on my foot) I opened the SSD and slathered my finger with it. I am standing there looking at blisters formed and forming on my finger thinking, "Wow that happened so fast and my skin is coming off and #%$^^%&^* this REALLY hurts."

This is my hot fix tool
Here is my poor finger

underneath the SSD (Silver Sulfadiazine cream) There are 4 blisters.

OK so you would think that I would learn and just stay away from tools today. Nooooo not me. Working on the same leather mask I am making a holding stick for it. So I measure off the dowel and pick up my little saw. Ok can you guess???? Yes I cut my finger on the other hand. OMGGGGG!!!!
I am done with the tools today. I will simply bead my day away if I can get passed the band aid and SSD.

So today please be careful if you are using tools.

Honor and Integrity in life in art

I hate when our toys bite back!

I'm commiserating with you--got a steam burn on my wrist yesterday--boiling water, not crafting! LOL!

Nicole dearest... sounds like you've earned a night off... put those feet up, light some candles and play your favorite music.

Hope your fingers are quick healers!
{Hugs!}

Yikes! Watch out. I got a burn blister in the web between my 1st and 2nd fingers when I lit a wooden match and the head flew off and landed there. weird fluke.

Ouch! Sorry to hear about the issues with the tools! I just hate days that are like that - nothing seems to go right - either burn yourself on the torch or cut yourself with the saw. I hope your finger gets to feeling better!
