It has been 2 weeks that I have been missing from WOYWW but of course the reason was my dear DBF had a full knee replacement which we were waiting for for ages and I had to turn all my attention to that matter! It is over now he is doing okay except for the pain which we are trying to manage with painkillers! Thank you for all the well wishes - they help ! I will show a picture of the knee in a minute but first the usual business of WOYWW - my desk and what I have been making and buying ( ha, ha a bit of retail therapy is always nice! :-) )
So my desk is busy - I have cleared it a little bit but on the sides you can see stamps, inks, papers, glues and all sorts!
I have been making various cards - a day before the operation my boy celebrated his 70th birthday so I made a card for that occasion...
My last card is a birthday card I made for my DBFs granddaughter....
To keep me going I bought a few bits - some Hero Arts neon inks and a set of pinky ALTENEW inks...
Finally here is a picture of my DBFs knee - he had the dressing changed yesterday but it is swollen and not very nice!
Hugs to all
CARDARIAN
yay glad o know Alan is recuperating, the pain will get better, given time... nice to see your desk, and I suppose i need to do you a card for easter - although I am not promising - you knwo how totally chaotic I am.. love you hugely , dxxxx
ReplyDeleteHi there. Lots to look at here - lots of beautiful items you have made. Well done. Take heart - the knee will get better. My husband had two knee replacements during his life. They were amazing. He walked almost to the top of Snowdon when they were done!!! They lasted well - one was done in 1975 and the other in 1991 - and both were great until the day he died.
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.
