Of disasters and sketches

What a week it's been! On Saturday evening Angus' friend lost his temper and whacked Angus on the elbow with a tennis racquet. He hit him hard enough to dislodge a fragment of bone and to fracture the humerus.

Angus has made two comments about this:
1. It's not funny to break your funny bone, and
2. Well, that's the end of that friendship.

I couldn't agree more! Poor kid has been in a backslab for a few days but today he got a fibreglass cast - hurrah he can shower again :) Here he is waiting for the cast to dry and then sporting his sling. Both of which are super hot (perfect for the stinking weather we're having) but still more comfortable than the backslab.




But wait! It's non-stop action in this house. Not to be outdone, on Monday the dog developed kennel cough and on Tuesday Zoe was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection. This means the dog can't bark and Zoe can and does. Antibiotics for both of them, tea and sympathy for me - Rob is back at work this week and has been lucky to miss most of the drama.

Though to be fair it was Rob who took Angus to the hospital on Saturday night. While I waited at home I created this:

It's my take on the 1st February sketch over at Wicked Princesses. Look not a piece of patterned paper to be seen! And I finally managed to add a piece of knotted fabric without it looking ridiculous (or so I think lol).

Ok, that's enough whinging and moaning from me, onwards and upwards but please think a peaceful thought for me - it might just send a little bit of peace my way ;-)

But before I go I have to tell you about Kate's PinkiePinkie button sale. It's on at her blog this Friday night, 4th Feb. I love her buttons but have used all of my stash (check out my post - not dead just holidaying - if you want to see some in situ). I can't wait to buy up big on Friday night - you might want to be early if you want some too! Enjoy :)
