Mel's Sunday Update Now I've found my Camera

Yes OK so it's Tuesday - how was I to know I hid the camera on myself by actually putting it away where it belongs.  I never put it there :)

And that is fairly indicative of my health issues this past fortnight; I haven't been at work due to migraine pain and changes in migraine medication.  In between the usual drudgery of housework and fighting with medical receptionists I did manage some stitching.

Draco the Protector is finished.  He took me 10 days from start to finish - I think that's my fastest stitch that wasn't needed for a deadline! Pictures are here and here.

Also I did Part 3 of the Stitch Specialist's Tree of Stitches.  Part 3 is French Knots.  This part only served to turn my distrust of French Knots into outright hatred and loathing.  I will continue to replace any and all French Knots in any design with pretty beads. Now and forever Amen.

Mariann's Round Robin has turned up and I will start that on the weekend - I still have the migraine pain, but I'm back at work tomorrow so I doubt there will be much stitching this week.


Just to cheer everyone up (especially me) Stephen and I went into Perth this week and bought me the Giant Microbes Christmas Set and I also bought a sperm cell.  Doesn't he look cute?

The big blue eyes are kinda freaking me out :) GREAT update - if only the damn migraines would go away! As bad as mine were, they were never as bad as yours, and thankfully now outgrown, though my sister still gets them, to the point of temporarily losing her vision - she literally fades to black with bad ones. She usually knows it's coming though, so can get somewhere in time to let it come & go.

Mine are back to being daily - as in the pain is with me when I wake up and with me when I go to sleep. I have referrals in with more specialists now, just waiting for appointment times.

Oh Mel, I did get the next RR from you, but had been out of power for 3 days, so didn't post that I had received it. :) I have not sent Kay's yet. I swear I have to be related to you. I worked on it while it was out, but tucked it away in a canvas tote while my kids had company and flat out forgot about it. Putting things away is the quickest way to lose them around me.

That could not be any cuter if it had to be!

Melissa Hicks said...

Yup, we are related :) :) :) :)

I'm sorry you're still struggling with the migraines.. but the sittching that you did get done looks great!

I've had a really good run on Sisu's (from Kay). I've finished all but the cottage, so it should be an easy month for Mel when she get's it.
