Crafting bad taste in my mouth

Ever since the MTC and SCAL lawsuits by Provocraft, not only I don't have a spark of inspiration, I am not looking for one because.... well PC spoiled the party. That's all. They simply spoiled the party.

I have a spark

I have a spark of an Idea but I want some of the work done for me. I would like to find small maybe 12x8 glass or plexiglass windows, pre-framed that I can paint and then do vinyl lettering like Disneyland Main Street windows, for Me, My wife and some close friends to hang on the wall in our Disney Themed room.

Implant

So after a year of pain and sorrow (well not really!) I finally have my dental implant and I am sure excited and relieved to have it done. As for crafty things... Not much on the home front. I got a Cricut Expression so I can now cut 12x12 mats but with my wife in primary she has pretty much raided my entire card-stock library. Couple that with my distaste of Provo Craft's lawsuits against SCAL and MTC, I just have lost my enthusiasm for supporting the Cricut. Hopefully something exciting will jump to mind soon. But you never know.

We Moved!

So in mid-September we were asked to move out of the condo we had been renting from friends for 11 years. They claimed that a family member needed the condo. Anywho my wife was determined to be out by her birthday which is November 7th... we did it! we are in boxes everywhere but we are moved.

Here we are months later and...

Well, Here we are the middle of september, I haven't pulled my cricut out of the bag for months... In fact I think it's still at my sister-in-laws. No Craft Ideas and I have to move in a little over two months so not like I have any crafting room. Oh on the dental front the first attempt at the implant failed so I have been 4 months waiting for new bone graft... I almost don't notice the flipper anymore other than when I take it out and put it in. I need a creative spark...but then when you are trying to get rid of stuff, making more stuff just doesn't appeal.

Coming into the home streatch

Well tomorrow I have a checkup to see how the bone is healing in my jaw in preparation for the Implant. I will then get the temporary implant on the 20th of May... Hopefully that all goes well because I leave town 5 days later. BAH! Anyway I have finally gotten used to having the flipper in my mouth... It's sort of just always there now... and I will probably miss it when I no longer have to use it. I will be glad to have the temporary implant but I hope it's strong enough because I am going to Vegas. Vegas=Buffets and Buffets=Eating!

One Month into the Dental Implant Saga

So after about a month, I have somewhat gotten used to the dental flipper (retainer) I have had Thrush, and Tongue Cankers, not fun. I have gotten used to eating by cutting up my food into child sized bites.

Day 5 of the Dental Implant Saga

Hello Fellow Crafters - and other peeps. I doubt anyone really reads my blog but Since I am not doing much in the way of crafty things... Though I might.... I thought I would instead Give updates on the Dental Implant Saga. So I am on Day 5 of not having my front tooth. I wear a dental flipper... fancy name for a retainer with a tooth on the front. It has a mounting point at the back on the right side that is between to teeth and makes my gums there sore. But I am able to get through a day without too much trauma... an odd side effect is that because I am eating soft foods, Oatmeal, Cracked Wheat, Malt-O-Meal for breakfast, Cup O' Noodles fro lunch, and Spaghetti-O's or Mac-N-Cheese for Dinner, My Blood Glucose levels have almost normalized. I am also not Drinking as much soda as I don't want to disolve the stitches.

I will keep this updated as things develop

See why do I do this to myself

Not only have I not worked on anything Crafty lately to make me less likely to do any crafty things I have started a 3-6 month process to get a dental implant put in.

Not Crafty still

I have some ideas for christmas gifts, but Somehow I thought I would be more into creating halloween decor with my cricut. oddly enough... no not really. When I get time and funds to start my christmas projects I will update the blog, but right now not much to report.
