Sidelined. Or is it Waylaid?

Sorry but I'm going to have to start your day with a photo of my foot, hehe.


THIS is why my skirt is not finished.  Ack.  Rather silly story, but let's just say a certain spider landed in my lap and ran up my PJ shorts, causing me to have an utter freakout and jump up, stomping my legs furiously (to hopefully dislodge Spidey and kill him in one fell swoop).

Um, instead, I missed the floor with my foot and instead stomped my right ankle.  And then hit the coffee table.  And the floor.  Sigh. 

I'm so very thankful it wasn't broken, just a very bad sprain.  I'm not a fan of crutches. They're so...immobile.  But five to seven days on them is much more doable than six weeks!  I have wrappings and stuff, but it's so swollen (probably because of the sweltering heat), honestly it feels better au naturel.

While I'm stuck on the couch NOT finishing my beautiful anthro-inspired skirt, I'm hopeful the new Burda magazine comes so I have something new to thumb through.  And I got this box of lovelies yesterday in the mail:


I won it on ebay, in anticipation of making some of these:


I just love granny squares!  And they should be quick and easy to pile up while I'm stuck on the couch. (Although it does kind of stink that this is my last 2 weeks of summer vacation.  Poo.)  Here are two granny square patterns if you want to join me on the couch!



And with that, I leave you with some pretty crochet inspiration.  I'm off to watch some Netflix and get  my hooks. ;)
