Good news and Bad news

First the good. Remember my bad tooth? that looked like this:



Well today I went back to the dentist and after some drilling, they were able to tell the cavity wasn't near the pulp so they just filled it for me. YAY! now it looks like this:



Such a load off my mind. Except my mouth is SO numb right now and I am so hungry... all I can eat is soup.. nom nom nom... I have a bit of a drool thing going on, on the right side of my mouth.. it's not pretty. And dang if they aren't a tad on the rough side at this dental clinic.. feel like I got punched in the mouth, my lips feel all bruised. Tried to kiss hubby but I couldn't feel it and all he got was drool.

Now for the bad news. Both my Hubby and Dad are soon to be going in for some major surgery. My Dad is getting an aortic aneurysm removed, and Hubby has to have the AICD put in. Which is an implantable cardioverter defibrillator. Basically it's a mini defibrillator that keeps the heart beating regular. The AICD is one step away from getting a heart transplant. But there is a small chance that once this device is implanted, hubby wont be needing the transplant for a while, and in some cases patients haven't needed a transplant at all. We are not that hopeful though as HUbby's heart is pretty stuffed.

So both Hubby and Dad are just waiting for the operation dates. It's frustrating, not knowing. I want to plan things. Hubby is going to be laid up for a few months, while things settle down. He isn't allowed to do much at all. He can't even lift his arms above his shoulders.

Because of all this, we have to put off our little trip in Anna Cabana for a while.. just until all this is over, and we can get some things done to the car and the caravan.

We have started a little store at the local markets. We are selling bits and pieces we no longer need, and also some new things. I am making a few crochet things and hubby is importing stuff like guitar accessories. So far my crochet tea towels have proved to be very popular. I think people like the nice bright colours I use. I am including some new things next time. I made some vintage look crochet rose rings, and some crochet wriggle book worms for the kids. They are a lot of fun to make and are pretty quick to whip up. I give them big googley eyes to.



How cute are these?!






I love making these cuties :)



I've also done some nice little original paintings to sell. I have taken over the garage and it is now my studio/girl cave... Hubby is not getting it back... MUWHAHAHAHAHAAA...!

Anyway...must go.. try to eat something.. soup time :) And it's starting to hurt like a SOAB.. pain med time...

Project: Beanie

Well today I made the easiest and cheapest Beanie ever. Just two small balls of super soft .99c wool and treble (double) crochet and voila! One pink beanie to cover this frozen fairy's head. (wish I had had it on show night)
Hubby and son have put in their orders to. Just not in pink. :)


On my noggin.

Close up. It's actually a bit pinker than the photo. Stupid lights.
Anyway...
Have had my parents staying for a couple of days. My Dad got the all clear from the specialist so they are going to be off on their travels again towards the end of next week. They are going to head north this time and visit my little sister and big Brother in our home town. It was nice having them here for a while. I do miss them terrible some times.
Apart from that life in general has been rather slow. I am still not feeling well. I have started taking Olive Leaf Extract and I am feeling a little better, but then today was a warmer day. I think I have simple gotten allergic to winter, which is ironic because winter is my favourite month. Hubby wants me to go back to the doctor for tests and chest xrays. I've never been officially diagnosed with asthma but I have the ventalin inhailers the doctor gave me when I had broncitus. I really don't feel like going back to the doctor but I guess I should.

Hubby has been able to do a few hours to our bus. Remember Betty our bus? yeah I would have forgotten about it to if it wasnt sitting in our driveway like a big broken down....well... bus! We got some proper etch primer for it and hubby has been sanding and spray painting away. Its looking better and better. We still have a ton of work to do on it, but we've hubby has made a start on it again.

I have been working on a few arty projects that have taken up my time when I'm not running round doing everything else. I will show you when I am done. Oh and Hubby finally finished his bloody massive and weighs a tonne work bench :) So I will take pics of it to.

Today was a very dewy morning, I  found some weeds that had captured some dew drops in between their fluffy little flowers and they sparkled in the sunlight so prettily. SO I want to share with you my dewy morning..



The Bees loved it to
Have a great weekend everyone.
