Maybe somebody, somewhere, is wondering why that BlackGarden chick hasn't posted anything new in like, forever. Well I got a reason for that I do. Two reasons in fact.

First, it's summer, and like many of you I've been away at music festivals and on holiday and suchlike. In fact I'm on holiday right now, at my parents' beautiful house in the Lake District. Now I almost had a pattern set ready to go before I went away on holiday but...

I got tonsillitis. It started on like the 25th of last month, a few days before we went away. So instead of finishing and uploading my pattern set, I was lying about in bed complaining alternately about the heat and the cold.

I saw the doctor that Saturday who gave me a five day course of penicillin... unfortunately though just a few days after finishing the penicillin (ie. this morning) I woke up with a ridiculously high fever and a sore throat, again. Sooo back to the doctor it was and now they've given me a 10 day course of penicillin, which should kill it off completely.

So, about that pattern set... I've been working on some truely disgusting grungy patterns which I look forward to uploading after I return home this weekend, and I hope you'll all enjoy them.

(And here's hoping they don't have to yank my tonsils out...)
