Nelson Update!

 Today was the big day when we headed 
back to the Epworth Hospital.
 One nice straight bone. Nelson's arm has healed really well. It's a bit hard to see in the picture but there is a lot of new bone growth at the site of the break. There is still a bit of the break in the centre but this will continue to heal over the next few weeks.
Looking at the first x-ray, it's amazing how quickly 
the bone has healed itself.
Back home and feeling a lot lighter! 
Another six weeks and then Nelson's specialist will review him and hopefully let him play sport again. In the meantime, he is going to be water boy for his footy team!

A Mini Sewing Room Make-Over!

 
A little while ago, a good friend thought I might like this cupboard for my sewing room. Of course, I said I'd love it! Over the long weekend, we did the move.
 
First off we had to get the piano out.
 
But first we had to empty this book shelf to give us
more turning space in the doorway.
 
So off came all the books!
Once we got the piano out we ran into a problem. The cupboard was too big to get in the door. It was too tall to tip on it's side as we couldn't lever it around the hallway. So, in through the window came the cupboard.
Now I have more storage and can show off my pretty things.
 
Everything is now stored away.
I even found the sewing room floor!

Premiers!

No, not the boys! You may not know it, 
but one of my other hobbies is playing tennis. 
Today my team won the Grand Final!
Back: Kerry, Me, Janice
Front: Deb, Judy O and Annette. 
(Judy D was sunning herself in Bali!)

Well done girls. Thanks for a great season.
Of course, we celebrated with a little champagne!

Tuesday Treasures with Melody!

 I'm linking up with Melody (The House on the Side of the Hill) for her Tuesday Treasures.
As it was our anniversary last month, I thought I would share this special treasure with you. It is my wedding bouquet, dried, pressed and framed.
The roses were champagne, pink and peach. I couldn't get the scanner to work so this is a photo of a photo and doesn't really show it very well.

Head over to Melody's and see what other treasures are being shared today. Congratulations to Mel as today's Tuesday Treasures is her 1001st post!
