It has been a rough ride the last couple of weeks. Jen had a bit of a mishap with some plate glass which resulted in a few firsts for her...first call to 911, first ride in an ambulance, and first stitches. Luckily there is no permanent damage and now that all stitches are out she is able to resume her day shifts at the shop. Of course when it rains it pours and during the time of her mishap her father-in-law passed away somewhat unexpectedly.
Thankfully that is all behind us now and we can focus on business as usual.
Be on the lookout though, we will have another shift in our hours coming August 1st. Our daytime hours will change to Tuesdays and Thursdays and our evening hours will be on Mondays and Wednesdays. We are shifting our hours as Alex is moving on to 3-day a week pre-school. Remember though, that will be August 1st! Our Saturday hours will remain the same.
Hopefully you have been keeping Libby Lehman in your thoughts and prayers. You can visit her Caringbridge site here. Please do keep her in your thoughts and prayers as this will be a very long road to recovery.
Lastly, here is your quilting tip for this week! Keep a well stocked first aid kit in your sewing room. We work with a lot of sharp implements from rotary cutters to scissors and don't forget those needles. Perhaps adding in a small pair of pliers would be helpful - just in case. While my accident did not occur in my sewing room or with our tools of trade, it does make me mindful. Accidents can happen anywhere at anytime. So, if we are prepared with the basics we should be good to handle most incidents. Hopefully you will never need to use it, but if you do have need of it at least it will be close at hand.
Happy Quilting!
