a good bargain
Crafting has come to a stop *sad face*
The physio has tapped my thumb and wrist so I can't bend/move my right thumb for the next few days. Its a good thing I an type with my left hand (and make coffee). I have angry tendons and sad muscles in my arm and wrist. I was magically hoping for it to be better and no pain for the physio visit. Sadly not. Still have pain and now not much use of my right hand.
I did get to an op shop with Master W. I enjoy a good find. All the things I found were for the boys. I would have spent more time looking but with one hand its a bit limiting. Mr B is glad it was only $8 I spent. But you can never have too many books and the bowling set we can play with on a family games night.

Now the boys have some new exciting things to play with and good timing too since the weather is overcast and cool at the moment.
the sun came out
Over the weekend the sun came out. We have had a pretty sad summer this year so far.
We headed to the beach with the Boys and Sago. Sago had a blast- this being her first time to the beach. She loved the seagulls and of course every other person who had taken their dog that day. She surprisingly didn't mind the water.
We had time to admire all the hard work that we put into our garden last weekend. Mr B did the lawns for me cause my wrist and arm are still sore *insert sad face*
In my stubbornness I got 2 more dolls made and another one needs stuffing and hand stitching. I'm not too shabby sewing with my left hand with my machine. My my wrist and arm are still sore *insert sad face* back to resting it and typing only using my left hand.
I just listed these on felt- check them out they are all needing new homes :D Hope you are having a great week!

feeling frustrated.
argh! The weekend being productive wasn't good for my wrist. After being in pain over the week I made an appointment to see a physiotherapist. The pain in my wrist seems to be from using it too much and there is also pain in my arm and elbow. arg! I have a pressure bandage on, more to remind me not to use at this stage. Rest is what the physio has suggested and I made another appointment to go back next week......sure does make it hard to do anything with one hand- let alone using my left hand for the simplest things like teeth brushing and holding a cup and typing.
The pile of crafty things I started and want to finish will have to wait.
On a happier note I was productive the other day trying to ignore my sore wrist...here's few dolls quilts I got finished.
Better get back to resting and trying to not think about all the things I could be doing! Lets hope this is a quick fix and resting works a treat and I'm back to my normal self soon.
