Sit back and relax

To give the broken collar bone the chance to heal, I got the advice to sit still and be patient. The first time I might not have followed this advice very strictly, so I lifted our 8 kg baby. I thought this was no problem as it did not really hurt, but the bone did not agree. The fracture, which was initially not displaced, shifted out of place.

Result: a couple extra weeks of sitting back and relaxing. So, I have lots of time to test chairs, beanbags, and couches but not so much luck on stitching.

My favorite chair of the moment is: The Flux Chair.

Genius: an envelope that folds into a comfortable designer chair. When folded it doesn’t take a lot of space, looks great, and on top of that feels good when you sit in it. The Flux chair is available in an adult and a Junior version.

2012 the year of the broken bones

When I got home yesterday evening, Louka said ‘Oooh no, 2012 is the year of the broken bones’. I have to admit my daughter is right and the Chinese got it wrong, completely wrong, it is not the year of the dragon; at least not for our family. Louka broke her arm in January at rugby training, daddy dislocated his collarbone at rugby training in April, and yesterday evening I broke my collarbone as well during rugby! Nevertheless I keep spreading the word rugby is not a rough sport, we all three just had bad luck.

So there will be no sewing for me, at least for a little while and no rugby training. So maybe this is a good time to tidy up the sewing room, I should be capable of that with one arm.
