Baby Book #3 - finished (plus first dental round)

[wiseheart]

All right, so I've finished Baby Book #3 and I'm quite pleased with the way it turned out.

Pages 10&11. The text on the right side tag says: Little flower, little dove, little evening star from yesterday - welcome! (It is actually a quote from a poem.)



And finally Page 12. The text on the tag says: You'll get the world like a marble. It's misquoted; the original says "You'll get the distance like a marble", but I only noticed my mistake when the tag was finished and I didn't have another one to replace it. The fun thing is, Elise is a literature teacher and the poem a very well-known one, so she'll spot the error at once. *sigh*



Other than that I was at the dentist's today to have my teeth scaled. Fillings will follow in two weeks' time. Gah! On my way home I dropped into a specific craft shop because I've got a few gift cards that are only valid until December, but I didn't see anything I liked. Of course I still have some time, but I don't like leaving it till the last moment. More luck next time... hopefully.

Wot? You went into a craft shop and didn't see anything you liked??? What happened? ;-)

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Well, I didn't want to make scented candles or soap or tattoos or mosaics, so...

Scaled? Taht sounds painful.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure it's the right word of it. Online dictionary was unhelpful. Removing plaque perhaps?

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Aw, we call it cleaning here. Cleaning your teeth means to have the plaque removed and then they are polished.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

I thought cleaning was what you do with the toothbrush? *is confused*

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Brushing your teeth - You use a brush and toothpaste to remove food particles. You clean them on a surface level. This does not remove stains or plaque buildup. It may slow it, but not prevent it.

Cleaning your teeth, A dentist uses picks, drills and other instruments to remove plaque and check for cavities, gum issues and the like.

Oh, I see. Different use of expressions then. In Hungarian "brushing" is also a slang word for... ehm... sexual activities, so we try to avoid it if possible. *g*

Love the book!

Hurrah for being able to go to the dentist!

You books really are little works of art, such lovely keepsakes.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Odd, the things one can be happy about at times, right? *g*

I'm glad you like my books. I'd love to make one for you, but I wouldn't dare to entrust it to the postal service.

I love the book (I have only looked at these last pages - I hope to get caught up tomorrow with your past posts:))

Ugh, dentist. A message was waiting on the phone for me to schedule my semi-annual cleaning which was cancelled by the dentist in April due to CV-19. Must do that tomorrow.

Have fun re-visiting the craft shop so you can use those gift cards! Maybe in a week or so some new items will come in that will catch your eye!

That's my hope, too. I regularly visit the shop with the gift cards in my pocket, just in case.

(Elwenlj) It's so frustrating when you have a gift card but can't find anything to spend it on. I usually resort to double sided sticky tape and glue when that happens. A paper crafter can never have too much sticky stuff.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

True. If nothing else helps, that's what I'm gonna do.

Baby book turned out lovely. The dentist is a visit I will have to make soon, although Covid-19 makes the thought scary. I'm behind on all my Doctor checkups, I keep doing the cancel and re-schedule thing, procrastinating.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's the same with Mum (I avoid the doctors myself as long as I can do). Her appointment with the eye doctor has been postponed by several months!
