This is a happy crappy post.
First up... The Happy...
I made FIFTY of these little flowers in all sorts of happy colors. Forty seven went on gift bags for my church-y girl friends who went with me on the New Hope weekend retreat. Three little flowers were sent to the recycle bin for one reason or another. It was fun to see these little flowers adorning shirts, hats, bags, and scarfs during the weekend. Happy. Very, very, happy.
Now it's time for... The Crappy...
Once upon a time I had a nasty tooth. Nasty tooth got a root canal. After the root canal, said tooth had a steel post surgically implanted into it. After the surgery healed, a shiny new porcelain crown was cemented over all. Nasty tooth had been redeemed. The nasty reconstructed tooth was shiny, new, and lovely (and more than a little $$$$$). Glorious.
Fast forward a few years...
Root canal failed.
Infection set in.
Shiny tooth looks happy, but feels crappy.
No options but to remove shiny, lovely, procelain-crowned tooth.
Tooth came out yesterday. NOT fun.
NOT HAPPY.
Crappy, in fact. Very, very crappy.
There you have it...The Happy and The Crappy.
I think I will now go ice my jaw and take a painkiller or two three.
Oh wow. I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you feel better soon. I had one of my far molars removed and they prepped it for a new one. I haven't had the new one put in yet... its always so expensive to do dental work. (But you already know this, right?) Now, I'm skeered to!

Ah yes, I know EXACTLY how you feel...about the tooth! No fun at all! I've been through that more times than I can count. My advice is to check with your dental insurance and see if they cover implants. That is the way to go...I have 3. It's fun to tell people that I have 3 implants. They look at me funny...until I clarify that they are DENTAL implants! Might as well have some fun with it!
Good luck with the tooth, and the flower is darling!

OUCH! Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about your crappy -- I hope the pain will go away soon. Surely, looking at those adorable flowers helps just a bit? (And btw, I LOVE my cute little wallet!!!)

crappy = Yikes
Love the flowers. Would you be willing to show-n-tell how you made them. I have a niece that has a flower theme in her bedroom and I would like to make a bouquet for her.

Oh my, that's horrible! I'm a real scaredy-cat when it comes to the dentist. On another note, your flowers are precious!

That's sounds awful - hope it improves and you get a tooth back again! But the flower put a smile on my face !

Darling flowers!
And not only crappy, but EXPENSIVE!

I ABSOLUTELY DID NOT NEED TO READ THIS, now I am scared to death. I have been dealing with two "crappy" teeth myself and the recent crowns did not do the trick. The words crappy, scary, and trick all in one comment? I know it is Halloween, but heaven help me. Carolina
