As you can see from the photo above, Mr. U's front fork is completely severed. The frame is also split in three other areas. Mr. U specializes in composite materials (did I mention he's an engineer?) He said it takes a tremendous amount of force to break, split and sever carbon fiber like that.
Again, whew.
SOOOOO...with that prelude and my time helping him heal, I will be taking a short break from Upcycled Education. For those of you longtime blog readers, you know I did this last May for a solid month. Maybe that should be my new norm - take May into June off from blogging. When I come back, I hope to unveil the new blog design, complete the Be Creative Series and gear up for a series related to school lunches (as I have a bag of tricks for packing them).
In the meantime, think healing thoughts for Mr. UpCyclist, my love.

PS - I do still plan to guest judge for Crafterhours Skirt Week competition. I will be judging the A-line skirt category as that seems the most teachery. Something about looking at pretty skirts online sounds soothing to me right now.
