No worries, for i have returned!

So i have been gone since my last post and i know i promised pictures of the bingo bags i made but in the middle of all the X-mas spirit i completely forgot! not to worry though, next time i see my mother-in-law i will ask her to bring the bag by and i will take some pictures. Both bags came out great! and they were extremely easy to make.

So happy new year to all! i want to say that i made a new year's resolution, but i didn't. I always end up forgetting the same month i make them so i didn't bother,lol.

I have however discovered that i have wonderful (sarcasm) allergy to permanent hair dyes. My hair was purple and red for a while i had bleached it and put the colors in with semi permanent hair dye, but it didn't hurt me at all. After a while my hair started to lose the awesome colors and of course turned a hideous orange, and i don't mean traffic cone orange because that would have been kind of awesome, but it just went back to how it looked when i started bleaching, and of course my natural black roots came in and i was looking hideous. So i decided, let me get some permanent black hair dye and just go back to my natural hair color, i did. and 3 hours later i had seeping wounds on my scalp and i was as itchy as could be. I thought well that sux, i have a pretty bad allergy so i took some claritin and that didn't help in the least. So needless to say i am in a LOT of pain right now. I told myself if it doesn't get any better by friday i will have to go to the doctors and hope they can do something for me. So here's hoping it will go away. Now my hands have begun to itch and ive got little red dots on them. *sigh* i read up on it and it turns out that a LOT of people have an allergy to an ingredient in permanent hair dye called PPD *i forget the scientific name* . That ingredient has been banned in many parts of Europe and the allergies can be so severe that sometimes it can cause death because people can't breathe. It is also very common for people who have dyed their hair for decades to develop an allergy to the ingredient. Sad to say i still have some spots in my hair that look terrible because my hair is long and there wasn't enough dye in the bottle to cover everything, I was going to just chance it and just apply a second bottle but i've decided against it seeing how severe my allergy is already and people say that the allergy could get worse the more you dye your hair. So for now i will just have to deal with people wanting to throw hair dye bottles at me when they see my skunky looking hair, lol. Good thing i wanted to show my gray hair once i get older or else i would have been in big trouble. Growing old gracefully (or semi gracefully) here i come!

Other than that, My best friend is engaged! To a wonderful lady i must add. And i couldn't be happier for them, they look great together! and she treats her wonderfully. Maybe i can get them to let me take some pictures of them to post on here so u guys can see. hehe.

I think that's about it, I haven't been working on any projects since the last bingo bag, but i have purchased a few new patterns that i want to get to work on as soon as my allergy calms down, for now i want to concentrate on getting my house cleaned up some. Thanks for reading, i will be back again soon!
