Dentists and Sugar

I hate dentists!! Well not really the dentist but having dental work done. I have HORRIBLE teeth for somebody that really takes care of their teeth. Let me start at the first of my dental story. While we were in New Orleans for Jake's birthday, which was November 3, I broke a tooth which come to find out was a very old crown. So when we got home, I made an appt to see about getting it fixed. During that appt they reminded me that I had another crown I needed to have done too. OH joy!!


So I have all that done and my gum is too irritated to take the impressions. Make another appt to come back in a week. Ok, do that. Get a phone call a couple of weeks later that the crown maker didn't like that impression, can we do another one. Ok, do that. That was the week before Thanksgiving. OH forgot that during all of that one of the temporary crowns come off... OUCH!! Have to go back in to get it put on.



Today was the day I was going to get my new crowns. I'm so excited I'm going to be DONE!! Well, one of the crowns is a perfect fit. The other one, not so much. Again my gum is too irritated to take another impression so I have to go back NEXT week. I could scream!! And to top it all off, everything they did to me today they did with out deadening my mouth. I was trying to be tough, but I shouldn't have.


Ok, I'm done talking about dentists!! Let's talk about Sugar or Sugah!!! She's the newest member of our family. She is a gorgeous 6 month old kitten.









I just love how her tail is striped!! She's so white and then that tail!! There's also a perfect circle on her side that is striped too.





Here's some pictures of some beading/soldering I've done.







The top 2 pictures are what I made for my sister for her birthday. I was going to make her a 4 strand Mother's bracelet but chickened out. When she opened it she said she was glad it was a 2 strand because she said the 4 would have been too big for her!! So I made the right decision. YEA!!

The next bracelet is one I made for Nannie. It's one of the magnetic bracelets. She was so excited. Her hands are just eaten up with arthritis and can not do any clasps. This one just wraps on itself so it's perfect for her.

The next pendant I made for Jake's girlfriend for Christmas. And the next picture is a Mother's Bracelet I made for money!!

GF, I can totally relate about the dentist! When I had all my wisdom teeth pulled several years ago and they had to prop open my mouth, I cried when it was finally over. While still in the dentist's chair. So since I had a lot of work that still needed to be done, he prescribed me Valium for the remaining visits. It helped me get through it a lot. Now they may use something different.
Anyhoo, hope you're all done soon and don't have to worry about anything else for a while!
Your new kitty is precious, love that tail!
All of your jewelery is just wonderful!

Sorry about all the dental torture Leigh - I completely agree with you. I've found a dentist that gives me gas now, and it REALLY helps! All your jewelry looks wonderful!
