Luckily the amount of stairs at our house is limited to the three I managed to trip down. I’ve gotten my upper body workout on crutches. Wednesday night I was questionably burnt out and frustrated, and by Thursday convincingly so.
I needed to do something besides throwing things to where I needed them.
I found help in the functionality of some IKEA products in my studio.
The little blue cart is like a little black dress, everyone needs one, or four. I can still collect all the crap everyone leaves around the house and push it ahead of me.
I bought these for the studio and providing you don’t have a maxi dress on they are extremely convenient at limiting the amount of time on your feet while still allowing you to travel.
But these things don’t travel and we headed to Vancouver for the weekend to eat and take in a Whitecaps game, so I was saved by the boot, glow in the dark stickers and all;)
Good things can happen when you have a bum ankle including, but not limited to, not carrying luggage, being dropped off at the curb while others look for parking and packing twice the amount of shoes since you only need one;)
Studio pictures next week, I promise;)
Happy Tuesday.
That cart looks like a gem! I had to wear a boot about six months ago, and could have used that lovely item. Hang in there….
We are the boot people. Much empathy when someone sees you that’s walked in your boot;)
Be well, Katie. So glad that you still have a sense of humor.
Thanks Judy!
Clever girl! I may need a little blue cart of my own. Hope you mend soon.
Thanks Donna!
Oh I know all about that……I had my right foot amputated in May last year as a result of a horse riding accident 24 years ago …..my stupid foot (the one that’s gone) didn’t stop me from my curtain making or patchwork …. Yesterday I did my first quilt on my big machine first one in 8 months …feeling great.. Love your site…. Reading your old posts…..
Oh I bet you have all sorts of tips you could share;)
I love that little cart and was determined to buy one but my last trip to IKEA came up empty handed … they were out of stock. I will get one next trip. Glad to see you are figuring out how to overcome the problems of the crutches.
good thing is we know they will keep making these gems;) I bet in more colors.
OMG Katie! I fell down our stairs on Saturday while carrying the cat in her carrier. We pitched forward and I must have stuck out my left hand to beak my fall. The cat was shook up and mad but ok. I had a dislocated shoulder and a broken humerus. I also got several scrapes and a bruise the size of Montana on my left butt cheek.
I nearly scared my husband to death but I got to meet 6 lovely firemen and I got my first ride in an ambulance. I am at home recovering. The cat sitting on my lap.
I’m going to get one of those carts for my sewing room. It looks to be so handy. Not very useful on the bloody stairs though 🙂
Get well soon.
Oh no! Hope you’ve got a back up team;)
You go girl. Love your attitude in this tough time.
Thanks;)
Love the blue cart…..color makes me happy.
That color does the same to my mood.
I am SO far behind on reading blogs! I’m sorry to hear about your stair incident and boot! I managed to dislocate my knee several years ago on our one indoor step. The step is gone now. Hope you are feeling much better now!
Haha, we mentioned removing the step.
really weird product placement?
There are very few needs in this world that Ikea cannot accommodate. Never thought about that cart for craft room, perhaps I’ll think again!
Ikea should give you commission on blue cart!!! A GREAT find. Thanks for sharing.
