This week's smiles....week 491

 It's been one of those weeks where I have struggled to find you something to smile about.

I did share some lovely photos on Wednesday of a fun afternoon I had with Phoebe and Lulu and I have to admit that although I was suffering toothache it was a very special afternoon and there was lots of chatting and giggling.

Friday and Saturday nights I was up and down with toothache..... Paracetamol and Nurofen just wouldn't touch it so Sunday found me taking a trip to an emergency dentist who thought I had an abscess developing, gave me antibiotics and instructed me to visit my own dentist ASAP.

Monday I managed to get an appointment at my own dentists where I spent 45 mins in the chair having a tooth drilled out and filled and then he lanced the abscess!!!  It was so painful.  He also gave me more antibiotics which I have been taking all week.

I then had to go back to see my dentist yesterday and guess what?....The tooth is no more.  It was still rather unstable so had to be pulled....ouch!!

Although my face was swollen all week and I was still suffering from aches plus the effects of antibiotics and analgesia I had lots of sewing to get on top of....including replacement of 36 zips!! Running your own business means you have to do your best to keep the work done regardless of how your feeling.  I have also been cooking/baking ready for the up and coming WOYWW crop on Saturday....now that is something to smile about.

The only pics I have to share with you this week are....

....meet Reggie my latest addition to the extended family.  He's the twins little dalmation puppy, a little brother for Jet.  He's such a cutie and Jet is really loving having him around.

Of course it wouldn't be  Friday without a few funnies...I found these doggy confesions and they made me chuckle.

Sorry I dont have more to smile about but hopefully my face will improve now and by next Friday I will have more to smiles.

WOYWW...

 It's been one of those weeks for me.  

At the end of last week this lot arrived...

Yes it's yet more factory trousers needing more zips and thanks to my wonderful hubby we managed to remove all the zips on Friday while I also got on top of lots of other sewing jobs.

There was yet more of them stacked on the other side of my sewing room....it was a huge bin bag full!!

By the end of Friday all the factory sewing was tucked away back in the bin bag ready to sew on Monday morning and three of my sewing machines were all set up ready for a fun class on Saturday.

On my cutting table I had ironed all my Christmas fabrics and put them ready too....can you guess who was coming and what we were going to make?

Yes it was Lulu and...

....Phoebe.  They are both able to use any of my machines now and are really keen to learn....bliss.

We chatted and giggled all afternoon.  By the end of the afternoon they had each made 11 bunting flags and we had put them all together.....

....and made a lovely long line of Christmas bunting for them to take home to their Mummy who is desperate to start decorating their house.

They are such lovely girls and even gave me a lovely smile each to show off their train tracks that they both have at the mo.

That was the up side of my week.  Sadly this is the downside.  On Friday night I started off with toothache and by Sunday I was in agony...paracetamol and Nurofen wouldnt touch it... so I had to go to an emergency dentist who thought I had an abscess and gave me antibiotics with instructions to see my own dentist on Monday. By Monday morning my face was swollen and when I went to see my dentist on Monday afternoon he confirmed the offending tooth and drilled it out and filled in then lanced the abscess for me...not an experience I ever want to repeat....boy was it painful!!  I now have 2 different courses of antibiotics and have to go back to my dentist on Thursday to see what will happen next....please keep everything crossed for me.

On top of all that of course I have a business to run and lots planned in readiness for the crop on Saturday....wish me luck folks.
