LPoCF#240 Polkadoodles

 Hello again, 

Summer is definitely on its way, we are currently being serenaded (deafened) by thousands of Cicadas, I have seen several of the different varieties all (males) of which are noisy.... maybe not as loud as a few years ago when there was an abundance of double drummers, the local electricity company was around pruning plants away from overhead wires and stopped long enough to complain about the noise. I am off this week for my scans which will hopefully see my ankle repaired for the second time. 

Today brings us to an all new Anything goes challenge with my teammates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by Polkadoodles who kindly allowed two of our team to choose images for us to use. I chose Polkadoodles new Pretty Poinsettia and made a non-traditional Christmas card.

LPoCF#238 Mirtillamente Flowerz Flow 4

 Hello again,

The weather is beginning to warm up as Spring arrives in full force, I have already spotted one of our local blue-tongue lizards sunning itself in the yard, we have three regular blue-tongues who stop by, each has a tail of a different length as a defence mechanism they can shed their tails if threatened, leaving the predator with a tasty snack whilst they crawl away. One likes to be placated with fresh strawberries... the others are happier to be left alone.

I will am off to see an orthopaedic specialist who will hopefully be able to perform surgery on my ankle... and for a turn up for the books I don't have a three month wait to see a specialist, which would have brought me close to Christmas/summer holiday closures, I am being seen this week, likely to need mri on ankle and hopeful that something can be done... I have at some point (I know when) sprained my ankle with such force that I have ripped a ligament off the bone and brought several pieces of bone with it....

Today brings us to an all-new challenge with my team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by Mirtillamente Digital Stamps who kindly gave our team three images to work with, I have used Flowerz Flow No 4 to make a pretty birthday card.

LPoCF #236 Polkadoodles Pickles Hedgehog

 Hello again,

Well, our second month of winter has been fairly unremarkable, no snow at home but some a few towns west of here had snow flurries. I have been busy cutting and mounting a collection of seconds from the now closed Darkroom Door stamps, I got quite a good array of stamps. 

A new scan on an old injury and finally over the area I call the sore spot, revealed multiple avulsed bony fragments (avulsed =injury to the soft tissues either ligament or tendons which was significant enough to pull soft tissue and a piece of bone off at the time of the injury) and damage to a different ligament in my ankle and that there is actually something that can be done about the pain! 

Today brings us to an all-new challenge with my team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by Polkadoodles who kindly gave the team two images to work with, I chose Pickles Hedgehog Christmas Pudding and have made another Christmas card for my stash.
