We made it through the dentist appointment. And though I'm utterly bewildered, it seems that Charlotte's already "over it" and has moved on. Teeth, no teeth -- whatever.
And, yes, they were both removed. Well, mostly. One tooth was already so broken-up that the root stayed put. Her gums will grow over it, preventing infection. The root will eventually dissolve or get bulldozed-on-up by her future tooth. It took three bouts of restraint - xrays, numbing routine & extraction - just gentle hands, no straps - and each only lasted about a minute. Only a minute! Yes, I'm still a bit mortified, but relieved that it wasn't worse. Thank you for your love and concern. It's amazing how many of you have endured the same disgrace. We'll see how we fare over time -- I'm sure we'll adjust, as so many of you have. Still sad, though.
I'm heading out to L.A. again. Just for one day. But, before I go, I've got to spread the good word on an exciting and extremely flattering event taking place on eBay this week. The Material Girls Boutique Group on eBay is heading up a "launch" of mostly childrenswear all made with or inspired by my Freshcut fabric collection. To browse their creations, visit eBay and search these terms: "materialgirls FC".
I can't say what a treat it is for me to see such a variety of playful ideas spring from my artwork. Go take a peek. And if you ever hear the term "launch" come up in regards to eBay again, you'll know what one looks like. That's more than I could say a few weeks ago. Those eBay gals know how to have fun.
