red right hand (and face)

i started feeling even worse after my post last night...had one of those horrid spangly tunnelvision migraines starting so did everything i could to stop it - lots of water and broth., which seemed to keep it at bay. then my right hand when completely numb, scary numb like fingers sticking out all weird angles - and cold cold cold. then after about 15 minutes of pure worry it disappeared. but not for long...it moved to my face, then inside my mouth and even my tongue - again for about 15 minutes.

this really worried me.

then my hand went again after about half an hour and so on for about five hours...i realised i was not dying, but took myself to my lovely doc first thing this morning who just reckons it's a side effect of all the migraines i've been getting lately...today has not been so bad but my hands and lips are still not 100% ok. trying to crochet when i can, but this is my first screen time today. so horrible - i have the time to craft and write as i'm home, and literally can't do either very well.

poo.

wedding bells

well i've got a bit sidetracked from my cupcakes and think i got a bit of the royal wedding bug, because i've dropped everything and am churning out granny triangles as fast as my little fat fingers can cope. gonna make some cute crocheted bunting for the day...that i can also re-use for the 4th of july, lol!

write now.

well...
i've still not figured out exactly how to keep track of my projects and what i want to work on and buy while in the states - so am doing it old skool and have a plastic folder wallety thing with printed patterns inside. they are a snug, some hats, and a virgin mary prayer shawl that is beautiful. so that's it. paper.

but i really really really need a netbook for this trip. yes ipads are lovely and all but i need to write a toast for my parents' 50th on the plane, and yes i could go old skool on this as well, but i really need my blondeboy to help me write it and a little laptop would be perfecto. so we can pass it back and forth. my blondie is such a fucking amazsing writer - i wish i could get him to do it more, maybe even blog eventually.

hopefully he'd update it more than i do mine, tho! sorry!
but i have an excuse...i've been crocheting and have pretty much finally finished the aum blanket - i'm just making all the tassels , which are so cute and multi-coloured. i stayed up late last night, gettin in the mood for halloween, watchin' Lost Boys and making tassels...

...the other project i have on the go, which is alot more portable is making little heart squares for my cousin pee'wee little baby girl - she's such a cutie and named amaya. so i'll work on that on the plane over to california this week and then lay out all the squares when i get there - should give me enough time to join everything together - fingers crossed!
