WOYWW

Hi WOYWWers!
Not a lot of interest really, as yesterday was spent in Queen Alexandra's Hospital Portsmouth having an Arthroscopy on my knee. (that may be tautology, I'm not sure if arthroscopy refers solely to the knee... I must ask my doctor son!)
Prior to this I had been busy making sample cards for Cuddly Buddly (where I have the illustriously lofty title of 'Fabulously Crafty Friend'). Kim, the owner and artist has been converting some of her rubber stamp images into digis and wanted samples for display on the website. She's also looking for new FC digi Fs to work on some of these images, so if you're interested head over there. You can access the appropriate section here.
For those of you with a sturdy disposition, here is a pic of my knees, 1 reg, 1 large. Note the trendy compression stockings! I've yet to see the inside of the dressing which has to stay on until tomorrow. I am a bit of a star with crutches, but I think I could probably manage without now. Lets' hope whatever was done will have alleviated the symptoms that I been experiencing over the last few months.

  1. Ah, glad it's all over Chrissie - your leg looks bruised above the bandage - is that just iodine? Please say it is! DO as you're told though won't you - heal properly and like you, hope it all pays off.

  4. Hi Chrissie I'm glad everything went OK yesterday and it has sorted out your problem. As Mandy said what a good excuse to sit and craft!!.
    What an amazing selection of pens you have. I think I will have to start saving up my pennies for when I get home.
    Take care

    In answer to your question ....yes I have just set up Skype to chat to Paula so it would be really lovely to link up for a proper chat when you're able. Not sure how to find you though as I am pretty new to it all.

  10. ouch Chrissie - you poor thing... I had some of those sexy stocking too when I had my op - didn't stay up - they gave me thigh high ones (and at one time I had PAPER pants LOL)...

    Anyway - you rest up and take it easy. No crafting until you are up to it - ok?

    Your cards will make up for lack of quanitity by their quality (if that makes sense)

  19. I hope the procedure you had on your knee helps. I'm sure you will feel better soon. Sounds like you are doing well if you can walk without crutches this soon after your operation.

    I'm still in awe of all those markers. And it looks like you have a lot of punch action going on, too. Get well fast.

    Have a fun and snoopy WOYWW.
