Hospital Breakfast

In late May I was admitted to The London Clinic for a blood clot in my leg and anemia.  I know, weird to have both at once, right?  Maybe it was the anemia that caused the blood clot, as there weren't enough cells to push through.  Anyway, food.  The London Clinic lets you order food! As much as you want, and no real restrictions - it was even possible to order wine and beer (at an extra cost).  Since I didn't know about anything, I ordered several things and ate bits and pieces.  The Greek yogurt was unflavored, so I used some of the blackberry jam in it.  And toast and croissant and a cheese and fruit tray and eggs and bacon and... even oatmeal.  Once I learned to order extra milk for the oatmeal, it was very good.  The food is presented in an appetizing way and the kitchen staff is very nice.  If I had to be in a hospital, I'm glad this one was chosen.

June/July Done

I am done with June and July now.  To me, this still looks a bit clownish with the wide variety of colors.  I am waiting for August to see if I continue or no.  It's just not my style.

Working In Red

Still am doing a lot of red maze-y stuff right now, but next time will end up switching to do more blue too.  Maybe I'll even break out the green for the interstitial places.

One More Glossy

This glossy box seemed to be all about making glowy skin.  I've used the Lancome cream and like it, though I only use it on my cheeks and use other moisturizers for the rest.

Inner Square Done

The inner square is done and I've started on the middle.  The border makes it look a bit less pop artish.

Skin Care Box

This Glossybox was mainly skin care.  I like the wipes and such, but the shower foam was just plain odd.  It had a nearly overpowering eucalyptus scent and the aerosol made it nearly impossible to use the right amount.  That amount was very hard to guess because, as soon as it touched water, the gel became a huge amount of foam.  I think I'll stick with Bath and Body Works.

Across The Top

This is the whole width of the piece now.  Glad I will soon be able to start stitching the designs!
