Catching up!


I did it. I had a dental implant yesterday. I was really worried about it. When I had the original meeting, I was asked if I wanted be awake or sedated, my reply was "I'd rather be in California." In the end I decided to be sedated. As the techs prepared me yesterday, I was wearing a turtleneck, and they had problems getting the leads to stay connected. "When you told me what to do to get ready, you didn't say anything about what I should wear," I said.  "Well, we have some t-shirts..." the tech said, and you can see that I opted for a t-shirt.

So I have a list of meds to take and rules to follow for the next few days, and I have to NOT chew on that side of my mouth for three to four months! Then I'll need a crown. Lucky me.


With that emotional event in the proverbial rear view mirror, I can get going on the new tutorial for the Zebras quilts. I need some step-by-step pictures, however, and that means I have to make another Zebras quilt. I have long been wanted to do this:

Now, I won't make THIS, but I'll play with the idea.

Glad the first part of the procedure went well. You get used to using only one side of your mouth - it will feel hilarious when you get back to chewing on both sides. Wait and see.

Bright and beautiful, great colours. Heal well, eat carefully, and soon both sides will even up.

Welcome to the club! The first part of my procedure was 12/31 (happy new year) and I return today for another check up. I am astonished at how many of us there are!

Love the tie dye. Hope all your dental issues work out with the implants.

My husband had 4 implants and ate a lot of mashed potatoes and smoothies.

Dental work is the worst. I think maybe because it the closest to the brain. Hope you can back to fun with fabric.

Yes, that t-shirt is really you.
