Oh, Flip...

There's been a blip,
I took a trip,
And broke my hip!


I'm all screwed back together now so
I'm (carefully) putting on my positive pants and shouting

"CHOCOLATE CONTAINS CALCIUM, HURRAH"

I took a cup of kindness and loads of new toys from the NHS
so thank you so much Queen Alexander.

Can you see my cup of kindness in the photo?



Normal service will be resumed soon but in the mean time
I would like to wish all my bloggy chums...

HIPPY NEW YEAR!

In 2014 I'm looking forward to learning some new
Womble skills, ie making good use of the things that I find



and using my thinking cap a bit more often.


What are you looking forward to?

Crafty ways mend bones.

  4. Good grief dear E.E. how awful for you!! At least you get to become bionic now with your newly screwed together hip. Several years ago (at this time of year) I fell & broke my neck & I must admit that whilst spending 5 days in hospital flat on my back staring at the ceiling . . . it was only the thoughts of my patterns & crafty pursuits running through my head that kept me sane. I wish you gentle crafty ways while you mend my friend x0x

  6. Oh no! What bad luck Ethel. I was only thinking about you the other day and wondering why we hadn't heard from you over the festive season. Love your new toys! The NHS is so generous. Keep eating the chocolate and get better soon. Jacqui xx

  8. OH NO! poor old you. Wishing you a speedy recovery and mobility.
    Chocolate does help! Well, it helped when I spent a christmas in plaster with a broken ankle about 5 years ago!
