Guess what I've been up to?

Like I said in the 'Honest Scrap' awards, we have a 'G' scale railway in our garden, so on saturday thought I'd better help hubby sort out the 'bushes' in the garden by making them into 'little trees'...



started off quite well as you can see below, then......



Then I had a slight accident with the secateurs, I cut the top off my index finger on my left hand, thank goodness I'm right handed...

Sam drove me to the minor accident hospital, as wouldn't stop bleeding, in fact before hubby put some dressing's on it, it kept squirting blood right over my 'basil' that we were having for tea (thought about changing it to tomato sauce instead of basil, cos of the colour, lol)...

Was lucky not too busy at the hospital, so I saw a nurse who clean it up, but then had to see a Doctor as had to check the nerve endings etc. (he said he's had men fainting with this sort of cut before, so good job I'm not a man, lol), anyway everything was fine....
He then got another nurse to dress it, and put a 'clotting' dressing on it, and have an appointment to see my local nurse to have the dressing changed, they gave me Tuesday, but will be otherwise engaged that day, so must phone up and change it to Wednesday tomorrow....

my poorly finger......



I took the photos of the bushes before and after, as was going to say I've been doing a different type of crafting this weekend and not because I cut off my finger top, lol.....

Big hugs for you, will be thinking of you tomorrow sweetie.
