swimming and winning

 so the noisy one swam on Sunday at the diamond creek meet... she came 3rd in all of her individual events and got two 2nds and a 3rd in her relays.  got PB's in all her events too.  was a good day out.

 I made the froglets boyfriend a laundry bag as he is going overseas early next year... this is just a little peek.

Today I joint the 3rd row of the double wedding ring together.... took photos but the camera seems to have shit itself.....   actually I have had one of those days of things shitting themselves, but that's another story

four weeks on.....

 So this is going to be the nearest I get to riding my bike for a few more weeks..... sigh.

 I'm improving but Ive decided that when I take steps without my crutches I waddle rather like a cross between a pregnant woman and someone who has had a hip replacement! It also is much more painful to walk without my trusty crutches so waddling is being kept to a minimum!

 Here is a shot of my leg though.... a great improvement since I first came off the bike, I have been using the bio oil every day and I believe this has greatly helped minimise the scarring.

 So here I shall remain for another 4 weeks with cookie...

 Milly.......

and Lil the fat cat.....   I'm allowed to start my hydrotherapy this week though, so I'm pretty happy about that!  stay tuned for how I go on that.

baby steps

 I had my visit from the physio.  She doesn't want me using the frame any more so bye bye frame! Hello crutches!  

Milly was quite exhausted by all the comings and goings!

 She was on my lap getting bellie rubs, so I took her photo... I think she looks rather cute this way.

 I'm taking a little break from the DWR piecing and picked up a stitchery that I had prepared some time ago.

 Rather than red work I have chosen a nice variegated blue thread for something different.  I bought this pattern from the quilt show, as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it.

3 weeks and my constant companion

 Here is Miss Milly.  she has become my little shadow for the past 3 weeks.

 Shes been loving the breakfast on the veranda, which has extended into lunch and arvo tea when the weather has been perfect.

 Cookie has also loved his outdoor time and has been sitting on the chair like lord muck.

 When I have been sitting indoors Milly takes up residence on top of the chair.. from here she can see outside and watch me on the couch.

 So I have been continuing to work on the double wedding ring... my frame became a good spot to drape my first completed row.

 Today I didn't have any visitors so I sewed the first row to the second row!!!

Amazing to see how quickly it is coming together.  I have been really good and decided that I wouldn't turn my laptop on during the day.  This has proved to be a good plan as I have utilised my down time well.

Speaking of down time.... I have a physiotherapist coming to see me on Wednesday.  I hope that she will be able to give me some exercises and help me take my first steps without my other constant companion... the frame!
