Merlot! Pinot! Moscato!

Merlot, Pinot, Moscato...
am I the only one who thinks that
the names of types of wines sound like cussin'?

Wine, wine, wine
(really, whine, whine, whine).
Yes, please, I'd like some cheese with that.

Two weeks ago

my tooth extraction went well -

 I guess, as well as any tooth pulling can go.

Backstory:

the molar in question, years ago, had had a crown,

then a root canal. 

Then the crown came off & took a part of the remaining tooth shell along with it.

Lately, just for fun, it became abscessed. 

And, to top that off, I have a sensitivity to the 'caine' family of drugs,

so I get to 'sleep' during major dental procedures. 

By the way - when you awaken from this 'sleep',
you KNOW exactly,

I mean EXACTLY
what was happening in that dental chair.
For days.

So, a little more
wine whine from me:
Shiraz! and Cabernet!

Yep, you guessed it:

now there is a whopper of an infection.

 Sauvignon!     Chardonnay!     Riesling!

And, finally,
the antibiotics are now causing 'issues'.
Zinfandel, anyone?

OK, that's enough  feeling sorry for myself
(and 'cussing' err, wine-ing whining).

I'll go back to talking about the weather.

  

There's another Winter storm hitting the U.S.-

another blast from the Polar Vortex.

 

Although there is another winter blast today,

this time I'm talking quilt blocks by the same name.

I've ended up making five Polar Vortex blocks,

all with different snowy fabrics, 

and they are almost a runner. 

I think another border and it will be time to layer and quilt.

(the block pattern was HERE: Nancy/Blogging, near Philadelphia
Thanks, again, Nancy!)

Not much to show for a week, but better than nothing. 
I'll sure be glad when I'm back up to speed. 
And off the wine/whine. :)

Hope everyone is safe and warm during the latest Winter storm.
I'm off to get some white cheddar! :)
Happy Stitching!
