Oh dentist, how I hate thee..

So I went to the dentist today because my bottom wisdom teeth are impacted and have caused the two molars in front of them to crack and chip. So he needed to pull them out. Now about a week ago I got my top two
Wisdom teeth pulled and i thought that was bad and that these other normal teeth would be nothing... HAHAHA boy was I wrong.. It took the dentist an hour and two assistants to get them out. Oh and i had to be numbed 5 separate times.He broke one and had to remove it in pieces. The other he had to use a drill and remove some
Bone in order to even
Get it to move.. My mouth is still numb but I can feel that it's gonna be painfu.. Very much so..

Crocheted Doily Wedding Dress Remake

So I am getting married in August, going to fly out to Vegas and have fun rather than the traditional ceremony. Just not for me. So, I was looking up dresses and couldn't really picture myself in any of them. So I started looking into ideas of making my
Own. Which came about because of a trip to Joann Fabrics, and
Realizing they have all the required material to make a wedding dress. But then I got to thinking that I wanted something that said me. So I started looking into the idea of crocheting a dress. Upon google searching and google searching and some
Very awful styles of gowns I came across this one. It's absolutely beautiful! It's perfect. it's different but still elegant and this bride pulled it of perfectly. So I began searching to see if she had posted a pattern for this and to no avail I found nothing. Just hundreds of people reposting the picture and complimenting it. So I have now decided with 4 months away I am
Going to make my own rendition of this dress. So today I start making doilys ( which is very time consuming) until I have enough that I need to cover a dress. I do like the style of dress this bride used and the length so I will also be searching for the Perfect under dress. As the doilys get done I will by posting pictures of them and my progress, and of course any other projects I make along the way. Stay tuned !
