Creative Textiles Course : week 7

Rather disappointed at not being able to attend my course this week/today!
Unfortunately our youngest son has had a bonfire accident (picking up a piece of hot metal while clearing up the day after local firework/bonfire event) and unfortunately he has rather badly burnt fingers/thumbs on BOTH hands!

Took him straight to local A&E at the hospital, we were seen very quickly - immediately in fact for some further plunging of hands in cold water and administering of some painkilling medication, 20mins later a nurse was dressing and bandaging them!

This of course, means that NO SCHOOL! and thus no college! Tomorrow we return to hospital for a checkup and hopefully we'll know more by then!

I was looking forward to this weeks session, but hopefully I'll not miss anything too exciting! this is the thing, people bring stuff in to share and its all SEW marvellous and inspirational!! I know one of the students was planning a rather marvellous looking panel and I was very keen to see how she'd progressed with it! have to hope she brings it in next week!!

OMGoodness, I hope he's feeling better today! Glad his injury didn't spread past his hands, poor fellow!

thanks, he won't be rushing to pick things up that have previously been in a hot bonfire again! to be fair even I wouldn't have thought it'd carry enough heat to burn after over-night, it just shows you have to take care! We visit the hospital this am to check his hands!
