Since I've been sitting around, I've spent some time knitting on the Aleita shell:
It would be done if the SciFi network had followed their schedule of showing reruns of Star Trek Enterprise on Tuesday night. I was all ready to hunker down for an evening of Star Trek, knitting and self pity (have I mentioned I had a sore throat?), but they were showing something else. Bah. I made jerky instead. Hey, that's something else that's in progress here today -- it's till dehydrating.
I began the week with good intentions to make a top for myself. This is how far I've gotten:
Kwik Sew 3199. I'll make the short sleeve version. Some day.
While I was finding the pattern to take this picture I discovered that I'd also purchased a dress pattern that I'd totally forgotten about. Which is sort of disturbing considering that I just purchased these patterns about 2 weeks ago. I really need to clean up all of this sewing mess and get a grip on what's in these piles. The situation is becoming critical. Also, I'm using the dining room as a sewing room, and we have company coming over -- the kind of company that involves using the dining room for pastimes like "eating" and "socializing" and exotic stuff like that.
Okay. I just ate some chopped up raw garlic stuck in a blob of Really Raw Honey. My throat is feeling better already! Perhaps because my body is in fear that I'm going to repeat that -- it was touch-and-go on whether I was going to keep it down, and my breath is startlingly strong now. I think I'm ready to tackle the day, finish up these projects, and move on with life.

Feel better soon. I don't know if I could ever eat a wad of chopped up garlic. If you're really desperate, my OB told me I could gargle with liquid antacid because the numbing properties would help ease the throat pain some. You don't even have to swallow. And since I never liked to gargle salt water when I was a kid...my mom always let us eat chips when we had a sore throat...it gets the salt down there just in a different way.
And, I've heard of the honey before...but what does the garlic do?
The garlic kills any germs that could set up infection in your system.
Gail, that is a lovely shell you are working on. I just adore the color. I know what you mean about the top. I have a sewing pattern and fabric for a dress sitting on my sewing table right now, waiting for "someday". I hope you feel better soon, and you are a braver woman than I...raw garlic and honey, whew!
What a pretty shell! I'm a little embarassed to admit it, but since you did, I will too. I miss Star Trek Enterprise, too. I was disappointed that they quit showing it. Maybe it will come back.
When I have a sore throat, I suck on ice. It makes me cold, but the ice helps with the pain and the inflammation of my throat. Just a thought.
That is pretty! Sure do hope you feel better soon.
