Huge apologies, lovelies, but I've just not been able to update my blog since last time. I genuinely believe I may have the worst luck in the world, and in the chances between chronic pain, fatigue, dizziness, vomming, naps, blood tests, faints, nosebleeds, and a change in my prescription painkillers (and, subsequent, drug withdrawal), I've been left with no internet connection Surely, things can only get better?
My current cocktail of high strength painkillers are being switched over the next eight weeks to another concoction, thought to be more suited to my current predicament. Unfortunately, it is really rather hard to predict how well I will be, so I'm unsure how often I will be able to write. I'm hoping to be able to do so more often than not, partly just to keep my brain active while I'm too poorly to work!
Since we last met, I've received some super cute quirky nail extensions, from Nazila Love Glamour and I cannot wait to try them out. There is nothing I don't love about them - sparkles, skulls, love-hearts and bows in a simple red, white and black pallette with a touch of gold and silver glitter to make them perfect for glitzing up my LBD on a night out. However, I don't think I can possibly wait that long and am going to just have to wear them for a rather more glamorous than usual pyjama weekend in bed and on the sofa! The best part is that there are 24 nail pieces, so that if I lose one there'll always be a spare to fill the bald nail space!
I also received issue two of Simply Crochet and am in absolute love with all of the patterns. I've a feeling that my subscription will prove rather helpful in keeping me busy while I'm poorly. My current project is a tea cosy, for which I've chosen to use bold yarn colours of red, white, blue and green. I've already made myself the cute hair-bow, on page 86, in a slightly sparkly fuchsia pink. Perhaps, I might wear it to my next hospital appointment with the lovely 'get well soon present' of a cream crochet collar given to me by my lovely friend, Helen, last week. Other crochet projects include a baby daisy hair-band and a nautical-inspired heart brooch, both of which were freehand. Helen did spend some time giving me a granny square tutorial, as I've really been struggling with these, and I am pleased to announce that my squares are beginning to come on. I'm excited to start crocheting odd mismatched squares to make a cute blanket for my bed, but really ought to finish the huge pile of projects I still have left to start first...
Until next time.
Love and pugs,
K
