Oops! I Slipped!

There will be a slight pause, whilst I fix my thumb.  That's what I get for getting sidetracked.

I found some of my mini gourds that needed cutting...  As you know, I switch directions quite easily.  I decided to sit down and cut a few.

The ones with the curved edges have to be cut by hand with an Exacto knife....Very carefully.

I was not paying close enough attention and zipped into the side of my left thumb.  At least it was the one that I use the least.  I can even type without it!

Anyway, I decided that the fates wanted me to keep going on the roof of the Tudor Wall House.  So after bandages and disinfectant, I changed course once again.

It's a good thing that I did.  The second batch of stain was just right.

I started on the biggest part first and by the time I got to the end, the beginning was nice and dark.

Just look at the difference!  The stain isn't dry yet and it is already looking good. 

I turned the roof upside down so that the stain could get up under the overlapping shingles.  I don't want any shiny spots beneath the edges.

This is just seconds after I finished the painting on the stain.  It works very fast.

I am just sitting here watching stain dry now.  I will show you the final results tomorrow. 

For today, I think that I will behave myself for the rest of the day and do what is expected.  No more gourds....

Maybe I will just follow Tessie's sage advice and "Tend to my knitting". I don't need thumbs for that.  At least not the left one.

See you tomorrow.
