Still here. Still alive. Still crocheting. Still me, only being tested for glandular fever and other things. My bunnies have moved indoors, and we have another tiny bun in the tribe now... love
My best friend has had her baby: Harvey Leonard Smith arrived on October 9th at 06:33am weighing 7lb 6oz. And I am crocheting madly for him... baby blankie done, winter warmers planned!
Sorry for the terse post, and sorry for the absenteeism...
Got to go, Cash has just upended a bowl on his head!

More Blogging
Hello again. Here I am. Eating Ass-Kickin' popcorn (burnt), drinking tea and crocheting this baby cardigan:
The back is done and one front is half finished. Another front to do, then two sleeves, collar and some finishing. I started it Saturday night and I've only been working it really in lunch st work, and probably not even an hour a night, so should work up nicely. Then I can get back to the stalled baby blankies and moley work.
Also, here's a pic of Jadzia and (J.R) Cash. It's sad for me that she's forgotten her sister, but I'm also happy that she's making a future with the little git that makes her happy.

Here I am Again
Well here I be again. Still working on this baby cardi. Back is nearly done now.
See!?
As a lame explanation, I've not been online much as I've been having crippling migraines. I've had four in 2 wks.
I have an appointment to try and sort them out tomorrow- fingers crossed, will keep you posted.

I am going to blog again.
I am going to make the effort. I owe it to all the people who support me online.
I'm crocheting again. After losing Ezri, all I could do was work on my mourning blanket. Now I'm working on baby stuff for two of my friends who are both due in October.
Here are the baby blankets:
black/white for the one we know is a boy, coffee/cream for the unknown baeb.
I'm also currently working on an LBY cardi (little princess cardi?) for the boy. I think it's pretty gender neutral actually.
Here's my first bit (back):
Lovely and simple htr (hdc for you in the USA) across. Now that I'm crocheting a lot straighter and not so tight, it looks so much better!
I intend more bloginisation, please come back again...!

Bad, bad blogger...
Yes, I have been a very bad blogger. Since I last blogged, I've finished a baby blanket, for the baby that has since arrived (this week), a ruffly scarf and lots of puddings and packets of crisps. No, I'm not pregnant and feeding up, I've been a bit low!
My baby bunny has been seriously ill- to the point that we thought we were going to lose her this week. Where her sister has been eating, gaining weight and being happy (bar one little knocked bonce), Ezri has been small, timid and snotty. We knew she had pasteurella ("snuffles") but after one of her routine jabs, she got really ill.
To cut a long and not very nice to recall story short, she ended up going in for surgery last Friday, but the vet didn't actually know exactly what he'd be removing. It turned out to be an abcess the size of a plum on her liver. He spayed her at the same time so she won't have to go through another horrible surgery, but she wasn't a happy bunny, to use the cliché.
She didn't pick up for days afterward, I've had to take time off work (boss not happy- do I care!?) and they're both living in at the moment. So there is mess where there shouldn't be. And their daddy is v. anal about tidy!
Anyway, here is a pic of my healthy fat bun (Jadzia) and her poorly sis Ezri- before and after her op.
If Jaz were a Seasick Steve song, she'd be Hobo Low!
Taking a walk in the sun the day before her op. Since she wasn't eating, this was how I spoiled her.
Poor snuff after her op- the little bald patch isn't even 1/4 of her entire shaved area.
I won't subject you to a pic of her y-incision (I kid you not, she looks like a zombunny) or her nasty abcess and it's goo.
Nice pics of crochet items soon, promise. Maybe later today?
