The last hike of the season, I fell and injured my knee. About 10 days later it was still hurting and I was sent in for an MRI. Well, I tore the meniscus in my left knee and have been ordered to be on crutches. I have discovered that I hate crutches. They are of the devil. They force me to slow down (which is good, I guess) BUT they also mean I can't go grocery shopping by myself or even carry things anymore. Which brings me to my latest craftiness:
A new purse!
Mostly using fabric I already had-- paisley from a bridesmaids' present and the blue lining & flower from a dress that doesn't fit anymore-- and only purchasing $12 of supplies (and there's stuff leftover!) I made this bag today in only 3 hours! Okay, it's not Project Runway fabulousness or speed but I'm pretty proud of myself!!
Anyway, that's my bag. I like it :) More info on the knee to come soon... that is, as soon as I see the ortho doc on the 23rd! Gah, at least I'll have a cute bag when I'm on crutches for another 2-4 weeks!
