If you look at this picture and think I haven't gotten much accomplished, you would be correct!
Last night I finished the gold door, stitched the shutters on the windows and that's it!
Today I thought I would be home alone almost all day. Nope . . didn't happen.
Two weeks ago I got the final work done on getting a tooth implant. Over the weekend, when I was brushing my teeth, it was sore near that tooth. I felt it and it felt little a little hard pimple. I googled it and found that it could be just a little sliver of bone or it could be infection. I called the dentist this morning and they wanted to look at it so I went with Vince to his appointments. By 1 p.m., between us, we had been to three appointments. We ended up eating Mexican out but not at the place we had intended to eat. Then we went home, got my car, took it to the mechanic we use, thankfully fairly close to home, left my car for new brakes. We'll go back and get it when he calls and says it's ready.
Since I've been using the Lowery stand for stitching (thanks to Oscar!), I didn't have a great setup for it. I had it wedged on the right side of my chair between a chair and a metal shelf unit so I couldn't move it farther away if I needed to. I have the extended arm but sometimes that wasn't great either. On the left side of my chair, I have a tiered table that I keep "supplies" on, including a small notebook, different eye glasses that I use for stitching, rulers, markers, etc. I cleaned all around that, moved everything around and now I have one Lowery stand on the left and one on the right and whichever one puts my frame where I need it to be - that's what I'll use. Don't ask me why I have two stands. I think before we got Oscar, I was stitching upstairs but if I went downstairs to spend time with Vince while he was watching TV, I needed a second stand. Then we got Oscar and the dogs don't go up the stairs or on the hardwood floors or good carpet so I had never even opened the second stand. But, I'm glad I had it. We'll see who's this works. There's a sofa I could sit on and use it but from the sofa, my magnifying light kinda glares in Vince's eyes.
Soon we'll go get my car and hopefully I can at least get in my 400 stitches tonight. I kinda halfway counted up last night and I believe there are about 800 stitches left to finish Christmas in my Heart.
By the way, the dentist did an x-ray and it's a little sliver of bone. He said it may expel itself and if not, he'll have to dead it, make a little cut and file it down or pull it out.
I also had an implant done for a molar. It seemed to take a long time for the process, but I’m glad I had it done.
