Smile if you can!

I currently can't.   The double dose of anaesthetic I had at the dentist this afternoon has not quite worn off - but tooth all fixed, although feeling a bit odd, and now starting to feel like I have been punched hard in the face!

I have a lot to smile about though...

I distracted myself by diving into the goodie making this morning, successfully, (although I wouldn't boast perfection), getting my vision completed. 

I had a bit of a worry that i) it wouldn't work - it did; ii) the fabric wouldn't 'fit' - oh it did, perfectly and iii) that my partner wouldn't actually like the long awaited prints - she does!  Hee hee, I am a stalker extraordinaire!

Can I show you?  Afraid not my friends, because... all will become clear, hopefully next week, if the posties play nicely! 

Oh OK, just another glimpse, if it'll stop the moaning!

So other things to smile about...

A while ago, my lovely friend Lizzie Allen gave me her option to buy some of the new Denyse Schmidt Sugar Creek fabrics for JoAnns, being bought back from the US by one of the Wee Pixie Charlotte's friends.  We did a bit of wheeler-dealing yesterday, and this morning these arrived...

Love love love!  Did you get yours Fi?

Not to smile about, having to pick up dear son early, and for ease the girls too, immediately after the dentist, whilst I was still dribbling.  He was feeling poorly, and then he had to miss his first, very long awaited Beavers session.  He's fine, just got this nasty cough and cold.

So another full and eventful day off in my neck of the woods; hope you had lots to smile about today x

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present...

... the full reveal of this little beauty...  Day-wear perhaps...

-

... and full-on Evening wear...

Isn't she a stunner?  She has the most textured hair ever, and likes nothing better than to hang around the loo!  If you hadn't guessed, she is indeed a toilet roll cover; so classy!

Now this pretty lady has arrived with her new Mummy Laura, I hope she is happy in her new home!

For me, today has involved the dentist, a temporary filling, and the full works to look forward to in September, oh joy!

So the day has included rather a lot of web browsing and other distraction techniques; I have entered giveaways for fantastic fabric bundles at It's All About The Fabric and Ellison Lane Quilts, filled in dear son's passport renewal application and my driving licence change of address online, sewn a bit more of my Mum's binding and paced back and forth, a lot!

Now I am in the midst of a headache from hell and would rather be tucked up on the sofa than getting ready for bed wars with the urchins.  Only day 2 of the holidays and I am shattered!
