same to you, with knobs on
Eugh. On antibiotics and steroids now because my lips and nails were turning blue and I sound like Froggy from Our Gang (well, not quite like Froggy. That would be creepy.

I've have flu all weekend. Actual flu! My eyes are killing me. I have chills and fever. My legs are like jelly. My arms feel like all the muscle is shredded and my head feels like it has knives sticking in it. I'm exhausted. I can't breathe. And.... I actually went into town this morning for my school thingy.

no more roller-skating horses, either
I knew I'd forget to do this, and please don't feel the need to click on the photos if you couldn't care less, but here is Sadie in her Halloween costume. I made the sweater, the scarf, the skirt, the robe (quite difficult, as there is no accurate ready-made pattern. I had to make a great deal of alterations), and I also made her teddy's lame owl ( Read more... ) -
