I have 2 more of these bird shapes cut out to enamel. Next I will make a blue one.
My hand swelled up even more over night. The only time it isn't intensely itchy is when I have an ice pack on it so that limits me somewhat. I am typing this right now with the ice pack balanced there. I do sometimes give in to bouts of scratching just so I can get something done. I'm disgusted with myself that I trusted so blindly and didn't use my better judgment. Though it's true many times I have done things close to paper wasp nests before without getting stung - still not a good idea. I'm glad it wasn't Sebby who got stung (though maybe he wouldn't have such a bad reaction from it as I did - still I wouldn't wish a sting on anyone). I bought some wasp spray today - next time, goodbye wasps first.
Edit: I think I have finally turned the corner in the last hour or so with the itchiness and swelling. Not nearly as hot as it was and even without the ice I am being able to resist scratching it. Whew! I will be glad to put this behind me.
Dave is putting a new roof on the shed attached to the back of the garage next door. At first he was just going to tear the whole thing down but besides the leaking roof there isn't a whole lot wrong with it except for some rotten boards at the top and bottom of one wall that will need replaced. And if he torn it down he would still have to re-side the garage wall where it was attached. He's coming along nicely with it.
