This week almost all fiber work has taken a backseat to parent duties. Coupled with the last week of kindergarten (which is way busier than anyone would think), our six year old took a tumble off a foot stool and hurt his foot. He was trying to reach the prized snack food that I stashed up high to keep him and his brother from eating it all in one sitting. After he tried repeatedly over the next 12 hours to walk on his foot but failed due to lots of pain, I took him to urgent care. Thanks to Grandma for watching the other one all day today. Still don’t know whether his foot is broken, fractured, sprained, or bruised. He sees a specialist next week for that determination. But in the mean time he is in an aircast. Sounds cool doesn’t it? It kind of is, so much so that I told him we could add some stuff to it to make it look like a robot boot. Xander, being the six year old boy that he is, thought this idea was a really good one.

So tomorrow, instead of going to the U-Sew store to put a felting machine on layaway to lock in the price before it goes up, I will be embellishing my son’s aircast.

So just in case any of the few of you who actually read our blog were wondering why we haven’t posted lately, now you know why. I promise to share Robo-Boot with you when it is completed.
