SCD weekly challenge

Over at SCD the challenge is still anything goes and the colour combo this week is Claret and Blue! so last week all I could think of was Norwich FC and this week I'm thinking West Ham LOL.

Decided to give proper crafting ago, taken all weekend but finally finished this card! Couldn't decide which flower I liked best and because they took me so long to make used them all LOL, a bit OTT.

Okay so it's no masterpiece but I tried! my hand is still progressing but it does hurt to use, so gently gently it goes. I did however take a short drive to Tesco's yesterday and boy did that feel good. I can sense freedom just up ahead!

Lucky does have a UTI and has antibiotics (which made her sick all night after just 1 pill!) and propalin to try and stop the leaking, no joy so far, I've spent all weekend washing bedding and throws and she leaks all the time and looks quite miserable. I've now started setting a timer to remind me to take her outside every two hours, which is fine during the day but shattering at night but to be fair Mr T usually does it.

Really enjoyed going out Saturday for a wander around!

digi scrapping

My hand is slowly improving and I even managed to do the hoovering today LOL, I know it's a tad odd to get excited over chores but these little milestones are proof that progress is being made.

Still no real crafting but have been playing with digi again and done a few more layouts

.

Lucky is off to the vets tonight, she's not been herself all week and last night leaked urine whilst asleep, she's also been drinking more so as she's due her yearly jab thought we would get her checked out. Persuaded Eric to collect a wee sample this morning as it may just be a water infection. Little Rulu became leaky as she grew older but was so small it was easy to manage, well when a great being greyhound leaks you sure know it....fingers crossed it's not serious.

Hoping to go out tomorrow woohoo, just for a wander around town with Dawn. Dawn has been here scrapping today, I watched and attempted to make a card, hurt too much so just chatted LOL.

SCD challenge

Over at SCD this week's theme is still anything goes with the colour yellow and green!

Green is my least favourite colour and yellow and green is just a no no no, anyone living in and around Ipswich will understand why, for those who don't Ipswich Town FC arch rival is Norwich and Norwich plays in yellow and green.

Maybe it's a coincidence but at the thought of yellow and green my mojo just up and left LOl...

Still can't craft for real, so eventually and I mean eventually managed to produce this, whatever this might be LOL...

Sometimes it's just the taking part that counts and not producing a work of art LOL...

Hasn't helped that my hand hurts like merry hell, guess the healing and bruising and maybe a little over using and all combined together....

Hand update

The cast is off and the drain out, which I might say was over 4 inches long (not that I saw it eyes we shut! ), I now have a light dressing covering the stitches. Most are healing nicely but apparently the ones in the palm of the hand are a bit open (not that I looked). Hand is black, yellow, blue and purple (not that I looked LOL). Back next week to check stitches etc and then will see the surgeon in 6 weeks. I've been told to do exercises but not over use it. FAT CHANCE I want my hand back LOL.

Had a another digi session and did this, not sure if I'm happy with it yet, so may get some tweaking.

Over at SCD this week the colour theme chosen by Ang is yellow and green, OMG all I can think of is Norwich city FC, going to be a toughie I think LOL.

Hounds are all well and happy.!

Digi

Well knowing i wouldn't be able to craft for real for a few weeks, I bought myself a little digi programme called ScrapBook Artist 2. Of course I should really have made the effort to learn digi in the big graphic programmes but this programme is just the bees knees and for me it's an easier option, although quite advanced stuff can be achieved on it. Not by me just yet I hasten to add LOL.

Anyway it's the perfect answer when you have lots of little mini books to do and of course you could still add to the layouts once printed out.

So I've just had a play and done this

and then had a brainstorm and realised with a few small changes I could do this, which is for a separate album so being similar doesn't matter.

Off to hospital tomorrow, hoping they'll remove the cast and drain and I'll come home with a smaller dressing.

SCD weekly challenge

In between visitors I have had a little play and come up with this for the SCD challenge.Digi for obvious reasons LOL. This week the challenge is still to make whatever you choose, with the colour combo of orange and black being chosen by Dawn......which I loved straight away just for a change.

Might have a go at a digi mini book this week as housework won't be on MY list LOL...   Long way to go down the digi road but I'm enjoying it and at least I can still play, one handed or otherwise.

I'm back

thank you for all the emails wishing me good luck!!!!

The op was a nightmare, nerve blocker was evil and I got a migraine only my 3rd ever so despite not having a GA chucked up anyway. Pain has been unbearable but better today.

The good news is they got the gunk out and found 3 pieces of silicone which had leaked out when the replacement wrist broke and hopefully that was what caused the problem, fingers crossed otherwise I'm back in to get the wrist fussed.

Back Thursday to have drain removed.

Mr T said I mut be feeling better today as I've started moaning LOl felt to ill the last two days to even talk.

Onwards and upwards.

Hounds have been fantastic !!!!!!!! and are determined to squash me because obviously that aids recovery LOL.
