Construction Zone

 I am busy in construction mode now.   

The Quaker Needlework Pocket is now completed and I am very happy with this one.   It was fun to stitch and has turned out exactly as specifications.   


Now I am constructing a Kensington House.  This is from the Nutmeg Company and will be made into a box.   I'm finding the chart hard to read but that is a function of my eyesight rather than the designer.

Today I spent some hours at the dentist and now have a new filling in one tooth and a crown on another.  All went well but my jaw does not open very wide and when it was necessary to put in a camera to scan for measurements for the crown there was a lot of wiggle and grimace.   I was intrigued that the crown was printed on a 3D printer and the small rubber looking "thing" was checked for fit before it went off to be fired whereupon it miraculously changed from a lurid purple to the normal tooth colour.    Now the numbing injections have worn off I'm not comfortable but hopefully the pain will be gone by morning tomorrow.


Tis the season for frosts here and we are promised our first for tomorrow morning.   But if the day is another golden autumn one I will  happily go out for a walk scuffing through the leaves. Aah....Autumn bliss.

The quaker pocket is beautiful as is your row of houses.
Ugh dentist, I'm putting off going at the moment because I have a feeling my crown will need replacing. Hope the pain has subsided now and you feel better.

Oh, that pocket turned out great! I'm sure the house will too, once your figure out the instructions.
