Cysts, cysts and more cysts!!!

It seems that if I were to name a theme for me for 2009 it would have to be CYSTS! My first one developed after my knee injury in May after I munched the cartiledge and then a cyst grew on the damage in the knee capsule. OUCH! Then I had my annual mammogram and I have an unusual breat cyst that needs a biopsy and to top it all off now I have a cyst on one of my ovaries. None of the medical personnel seem overly concerned so I'm following their lead and will try to have a good Christmas and not worry too much also. My gyno doctor says that all of these cysts are not connected in any way but I wonder if some people are just more prone to developing them?! Anyway...I am keeping myself busy making jewellery and have finished all the Christmas presents I'm going to do for now and so yesterday spent the day with my jewellery tutor and made myself a ring. I'm really pleased with the results, hope you like them too.

Breast lumps and keeping busy.

Have just had my annual mammogram (I have them every year because I'm prone to cysts) and I still have lots of cysts but there's also a lump that looks a bit different. So I have to have a biopsy, which I've also had before so I'm keeping positive and keeping busy. This is one of those times when been a crafty craft maker is a good diversion technique. Here's the latest offerings, again using recycled copper that my brother in law gives me from his spouting jobs.

Latest installment!

YAY, my latest jewellery making installment. Am really pleased with how these turned out and they were much quicker than anything I've done before. Must be getting the hang of this jewellery making mallarky!!! It also helps to make multiple items along the same theme.

Thanks for a fabulous concert.

Last Sunday I had the pleasure of attending a Pearl Jam concert in Christchurch, and they were accompanied by Ben Harper and Liam Finn, with the added unexpected bonus of Neil Finn doing a set with everyone. It was brilliant. Not only is Ben Harper still the sexiest man alive but I have a new found respect for Eddie Vedder. What a lovely man! As my brother said (he went to the Auckland concert), he's the kind of guy you'd love to have round for dinner. He was so concerned about everyone's safety, I just thought he was groovy. It was the best concert I've been to for ages and the rain didn't come until the end which was also good!!!
