I never wear shoes in the house, and I never in the sewing room as I can't operate the foot pedal with shoes (or slippers). For *some* reason though I still had my heavy leather shoes on when I went in the sewing room yesterday. Moved a piece of fabric and out from underneath slid my heavy sewing scissors point down on my toes! Hurt like the dickens and I have a bruise but that's all.
An hour or so later and still wearing shoes (fate?) I was in the kitchen and the chefs knife came down in the same place on the opposite foot. Again, saved by the shoe.
So here I sit today at the PC in bare feet afraid to enter either of those chambers of horrors !!
