i did get to go buy some new materials to get started on my advent calendar. i got red embroidery floss, a pink fabric with tiny polka dots and linen. i'm still not sure about the pink fabric. maybe i'll add some other colors or maybe i'll keep it simple with just linen and red, with a little bit of white for interest. i guess i'm still very indecisive. but, i did decide to go with the banner advent calendar with pockets. i'm going to use linaloo's advent calendar and lululollylegs doll quilt (which looks like an advent calendar) as inspiration. you can also see pictures of these two calendars in the previous post. i'm also thinking of incorporting some of my girls' artwork in the calendar. maybe i'll have them do little sketches for me that i can embroider in the different pockets. we'll see how it goes, but i can't wait to get over this illness so i can get started! right now i just don't feel like doing much.

Silent
i have laryngitis. i've never had it before so it is a weird experience for me. i first got it on sunday night, but i didn't think it was more than just hoarseness from having sung several songs in a row while playing rock band with my husband. but when i woke up on monday morning with the same hoarseness, i knew it was laryngitis. so now i'm just trying to keep silent and let my throat heal. don't really know what i can do for it, but i don't think a trip to the doctor is necessary right now because it doesn't hurt anymore. it did hurt last night and was accompanied by a cough, but i think that's cause i decided to take a late night shower and was too lazy to blow dry my hair, so i slept with a cold, damp head. i hope nothing worse comes from that. right now i feel much better, but i still can't talk, so i'm going to try to take it easy and take better care of myself from now on.
