March stitching update

It's been a busy one with plenty of stitching.  So here's a progress update!

I've completed part 2 of Caterpillar Cross Stitch's Seas the Day... Part 3 is in my inbox waiting to be started tonight!

I've picked up a little card from the Nutmeg Company that I hadn't touched for a few years and found again - I really dislike the metallic thread but it looks so pretty because of it...A bit more edging to go yet.

And finally, a bit more progress on the Star Trek Cross Stitch piece.  Loving the blocks of colour and it looks really striking on the black.

Patch testing

Well, this week, I'm having fun and games with the patch testing guys down at the hospital. 

A few times over the last year, when away from home, my face and hands have randomly swollen up and become itchy.  It's taken a while to get to the nitty gritty of what it might be and so I'm spending this week with little discs taped down on my back (87 of them to be precise!!)

Not sure if I'm imagining the need to scratch at them or if it's just the tape they've been stuck on with or if there's some kind of reaction going on under there but I guess we'll see! They come off on Wednesday and then I get looked at on Friday to see what's going on.  I can't get my back wet until then, so it's going to make for a fun week... now... dry shampoo or go somewhere nice for a hair wash and bouncy blow dry (yeah, right, with my scarecrow hair!) in the meantime???

Hope you have a lovely week!
