My laugh point today.....

Mary had a little lamb,
all covered in mint sauce.
And with a pound of nice steamed veg,
It makes the best main course!

Sorry. I think my meds are messing with my mind.

Hedgehog time......

So I am back in the hospital again.  Third ER visit this wk, finally admitted.

I've had so many needles this wk.
4 in the ambulance tuesday night. One in er that night, 4 in ER last night night and one more today. I hate needles. Makes me feel like a hedgehog (hence this posts title)

Sorry if my grip on the English language is lacking right now. I'm tired and disoriented and frankly don't give a damm.

I hope to finish my OBP work while I'm in, but we'll see.

Figures, I go into hospital and the rain stops.

Lizi

hey guys

hey guys,

sorry I have been MIA the last few days - been really sick - seems the winter weather and I have had a disagreement. I want to stay alive, it wants me dead :(

anyways, I may be MIA for the next few days, as my asthma is playing up and I feel that a hospital trip may be in order.

don't worry, the rug is still happening! just cant see for coughing.

The rug - part 1

THE rug!

So, I am making a rug to go to Pax Lodge, the WAGGGS house (World Centre of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts) in the Uk.

Here is the design so far




and that would be me, still getting used to the webcam.

So, on top of Cold sheeping, i also have to get this rug made by the beginning of 2015.

Lets see if it happens huh?

Its not easy being gluten free

So, as of November last yr, its been 4 yrs since i was declared Gluten Free. Its amazing how one little thing has changed my life so much.

Apart from the GF, we also discovered I was

*nut free *tomato free
*mushroom free *wheat free (different from gluten free)
and supposedly lactose free
so this limits my options when it comes to meals

It became so hard for me and SO to be able to share a meal that he now does Light&Easy, and I cook for myself.

After looking at the cupboard yesterday, I've decided I really need to cut down EVERYTHING that is in it, and not buy anything more until this is under control. So instead of "Stash-busting" I am "Food Stash-busting". There are going to be a couple of crazy meals, i can tell.

Tonights meal? Crazy Bits Pizza

I think we have all made this in the past. Remember when you made pizza with muffins, or just a piece of bread, grabbed what leftover you had, and treated it like a pizza? well its soughta the same here.



as you can see, its only small, but it is an actual GF pizza base. They come in a pack of 3, but if you dont use them all at once, the other two start to smell sour and funky within 24hrs.

The Pizza is all leftovers - left over luap-cshong sausage, leftover hot chook, spare green beans, Avjar paste (capsicum paste instead of tomato paste) and two small cheese sqs leftover from SO's L&E this wk and cut into strips.

The yellow pile next to the pizza is leftover Corn Couscous from the night before.

so YUMMO - and a perfect for a saturday night meal.

Going Cold Sheep....

So, it has been discussed with the BF and the MD, that there may be a benefit of going Cold Sheep

what is that?

Simple!

Its going "Cold Turkey" on any and all yarn buying!


I found this when researching the term...
http://yarnontheside.blogspot.com.au/2009/01/12-step-program-for-going-cold-sheep.html


The 12-Step Program for going "Cold Sheep"
Step 1. Admit that you have more yarn than you can knit within the next 6 months, unless you can learn to knit in your sleep.

Step 2. Admit that sheep, llamas, and alpacas have produced fleece for hundreds of years, and they will probably continue to do so

Step 3. Admit that some yarn in your stash you have never truly intended to knit–you just wanted to own it.

Step 4. Admit that just because it’s 50% off, bad yarn is still bad yarn

Step 5. Admit that, try as you might, there will always be a limit to how fast you can knit

Step 6. Admit that other family members have rights to closet space, too.

Step 7. Admit that visiting a LYS daily is probably not a good idea

Step 8. Admit that it’s really okay if someone else has a yarn that you don’t have

Step 9. Admit that yarn’s “calming” effect dwindles when your stash reaches the $1000 mark

Step 10. Admit that all that yarn really won’t keep anyone warm until you knit it into something

Step 11. Admit that variegated and handpainted yarns often look better as yarn skeins.

Step 12. Admit that no matter how fabulous the yarn is, there will always be another fabulous yarn in the future and IT might be on sale.......

Hello cyberspace! so, this is THE blog, life, times, yarn, guides, and me (in a nutshell, and a little nutty) so lets get on with it.
