Eaten by a giant doughnut!

Hello,

So...just keeping you all in the loop...hey! c'mon don't be like that, I did consider writing this stuff and posting it somewhere else, but as my blog is a jumble sale waiting to happen already, I didnt see any harm in it. It also helps me keep a record of what I like to call "stuff" hhehehe.

So the latest stuff is that the MRI happened yesterday! Whoo! At last :), so I am now just chilling till wednesday when I will hopefully get some feedback.

I have not had an MRI before and didnt really know what to expect, when you see them on TV it is always patients who have to be fully encased in the coil. For my leg, I was only half encased, but as I lay on the hard bed and looked up it was very much like I was being consumed by a doughnut.

I had been told by a friend that the MRI is very loud and boy was it! I had the radio on but when the machine was 'in action' I couldnt really hear it, which actually suited me just fine. I had been given the choice three…

Panic stitching!

Morning!

So I had been thinking about possible tweaks that I could make and the feasibility of that, and one of those ideas involved having extra time for chilling out and stitching!  Thats when I panicked.

My left foot has been the problem for the past 8 weeks but about 5 days ago my right middle finger became swollen and stiff, and what if I couldnt stitch?

My good left hand...





My not so good right hand...

So I obviously had to stitch something to see, and I remembered that my magazine had a little kit in it with very small icons.  It is with great relief that I announce to you all t…

Catchup! Thank god its over.

Hi dearest blog!
“Wha’sup?!”
It’s been a week or so since I last stopped by for a chat or to post anything. I guess the narcissist in me was feeling rather despondent that my offer to send handmade gifts to five people was greeted with silence, my attempt to pay it forward getting a slap in the face. However, I have neglected this blog for a while, not posting as regularly as I would have liked, and maybe not posting great stuff every time, so I imagine my readership is back down to 3.
The thing is, I have lost some of my focus lately (and I shall tell you why in a moment) and its actually quite selfish reasons, but I need an outlet for everything that’s on my mind and in the past this blog has been that for me. I’ve never really stuck to a genre or theme or topic and always had a bit of everything that interests me, and as much as that goes against blogging advice, I like that it represents me and my passion for many things.
A true indicator that I am under any stress is that I rece…
