What a week......

I just don't think luck is on my side this year.

My hubby is doing well, I thought my foot was slowly easing... Haha.

Well, I put a stop to that. 

Monday night I rolled my ankle, yes the sore one, and fell. Now I have a fractured ankle..

After a Drs visit, X-rays and then a trip to the hospital I came home with a half cast on.

The plaster only covered the underneath side of my leg until the swelling went down a bit.

My neighbour brought over some beautiful flowers.

Flowers from Noel

Back to the hospital today. 

Emergency waiting room

I went from this.......

I have to go to the fracture clinic at the Northern Hospital next week, if I can get an appointment, to see what they say...

Meanwhile I have knitted another jumper for my SIL. Oops a photo will come tomorrow... And have been working on my Xmas X stitches..

My Sunday was spent finishing off a special MAGIC NEEDLE CASE.

Well here is what I have done 

And I think this qualifies for 

SLOW SUNDAY STITCHING with KATHY

EDITED...

This needlecase has had a lot of interest.

My pattern is a very old hand written one from a class I did years ago.

Here is a you tube link for a tutorial making something similar.

It shows the basic idea and you adapt it to any size.

I used ric rac or ribbon instead of elastic, added felt for the needles to go in. I stitched the edges with glove stitch using embroidery floss and then I added a round of beads to bling it up.

HAVE FUN WITH IT..
