Life's a Stitch

At our Chicks With Sticks Christmas Gathering I discovered something totally cool. These are tiny individual LED lights that can be used like teas lights without the fear of starting a fire. I can whole heartedly appreciate the concept (See my post of December 8th). Beyond the safety feature, the options are endless. On each plate for our Boxing Day dinner for 20, I placed one in a tiny clay flower pot and buried it with fake snow. They produce a beautiful glow. Just Call me Martha, quite out of character for me.

The Boxing Day event was a success. In the morning I didn’t think I’d be up for it. I’ve had what I though was a low grade migraine thing going on for a week. It peaked on Christmas and Saturday night was miserable. After four doses of Imitrex I still had it. It was particularly bad when I bent forward, reminding me of a past sinus infection. Talked with Ms. nurse-to-be, my daughter who will graduate in April, and she suggested I take some sinus tablets. Sure enough I felt like a new person in time for the party. Seriously, I had lost two nights of sleep thinking I had a migraine.

Back to knitting tomorrow!
