MY MANTLE IS FAUX but my passion is not

This week was suppose to be my week off.

Ive been working crazy for over a month preparing for last weekend

and the 2 shows my furniture and other stuff was in.

Both George and I agreed it was much needed time off.

My plan was to clean up the house after the tornado of work and

start the Christmas decorating around here.

I did get started on the decorating on Monday being ever so creative

and doing up our Faux mantle.

We have a large piece of furniture that simulates the look,

and these are the photos Im sharing with you today.

But while I write to you there is only one thing one my mind

and if you wish to follow along Ill tell you the story.

Unfortunately early last week I had a tooth start to ache and

also agreed to get in to have it looked at this week.

Well the appointment was set for Wednesday to have a look see what was going on.

Then Thursday the next appointment was set to fill the cavity.

Later Thursday evening we had been invited to the pub where my 2 commissioned red buffets

were being used. Well the appointment at the dentist on Thursday took a terrible

turn for the worse and there was no way I could attend the customer appreciation party last night.

The cavity got too close to the root and so did the drilling.

It was then agreed upon the tooth had to come out.

Little did I know how much pain I was going to be in that evening.

A temporary filling was put in till the tooth could be pulled at the set appointment

on Tuesday next week.

Pain killers werent working and I couldnt think straight for the agony I was in.

So between George and I we had to get on the phone with the dentist to get some resolution.

George couldnt see me in this kind of pain for 5 days and I know Im strong

and stubborn but I couldnt do it either.

The resolution is the extraction appointment was moved up to this afternoon,

but in all this turmoil I just couldnt stand not working.

Having my mind and body on auto pilot would do me good

while I painted something, so last night I threw down everything

in my way and stormed the hall way to my work space.

I cant eat anything on that side of my mouth, pain killers

arent doing much good, and I just couldnt put George through

watching the pain in my eyes.

So I grabbed a paint brush and some paint and set forth.

So much for my week of relaxation.

Till the wee hours in the morning I worked steadily on painting a

big dresser in grey, and it did me good.

George was able to get to sleep on his own not worrying

and my mind was able to fly away from the place it had been.

For now the dresser project will be my safe haven while

dealing with my tooth issues this weekend. There will be several more days

of soft foods, pain killers, and gauze once the extraction takes place today.

I only choose to share this story with you to emphasize how much I enjoy

what this part of my life has put before me.

Ive always embraced each and every task Ive had to this point in my life,

but my furniture and artistic abilities are truly a life long passion

that I seek comfort in.

So I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of you again for the support

you offer each and every day while I chase this passion and ...

watch for a big grey dresser coming soon.
