Surgery is today

So,the other day I woke up in the middle of the night in a panic. I dreamt that I was sitting in a room waiting to be called back into surgery and I had just realized I forgot to leave a blog post about it. I woke up and thought.....
What the heck!! Anyhow,here we are.... As you read this,I am probably in surgery right now or recovering from said surgery. It's been three long years of horrid migraines. Usually once a month(no it's not what you think) and sometimes twice a month. The last three months, it has been twice a month. They have prevented me from birthday parties,even my own childrens,dinner with friends and family,my job,etc. I have finally reached the point in my life that I have been praying and begging God for...relief. Pray for a great surgery and a speedy recovery. For the next two weeks I will live 24hrs a day in a hard plastic neck brace,sleeping sitting up...oh joy. On a lighter note,here is a chance to be pampered! Talk soon.

Something wicked this way comes.

Remember this face?
How do you like him now?
Is that not the most hideous thing ever?
Honestly, I had no real intentions on making this...this...thing.
It kind of just went that direction.
Below are a few pictures of the process.
Coming together.
Almost there!
(Yes,I do paint at my computer desk)
TA DA!

Let me explain...

It all started with a styrofoam ball and a little clay. I was just kinda goofing around. I thought it needed some eyes and all I could find were these orange ones. Whoa! I thought "How freaky"! Then, next thing you know,my little fingers had a mind of thier own. Now,he has hair,a nose,mouth,arms legs etc. All I have left is a little bit of painting and some final touches. The end result I will save for another day. STAY TUNED!

Been a little preoccupied

Whoa!
Has it really been almost 2 weeks since my last post?
I've been a little preoccupied lately.
I have 2 more weeks to go before my surgery and I am enjoying getting out and about as much as possible.
Once I have the brace on,I will be getting cabin fever!
In the meantime,I am working on some new projects.
I am trying my hand at mixed media dolls,as I have loved to make dolls for many years.
It's been a bit hard to work on stuff with my neck getting achy so easily.
I've spent nearly everynight in the hot tub...yeee.
