I heard (pardon the pun!) about Van Gogh cutting off his ear at quite a young age because my mother was an art teacher, so it’s been many years since I thought about Van Gogh BUT now I think I know why he dunnit!!!<\/p>\n

OBVIOUSLY…<\/strong><\/h2>\n

he didn’t have a Gertie Gecko Wheat Heat Pack <\/strong>for HIS earache??? : )<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Van<\/p>\n

Of course Van Gogh’s ear troubles couldn’t possibly have been stress-induced due to a website upgrade database crash! – (ha!ha! ) <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

SERIOUSLY though<\/strong>…<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

the reason why Van Gogh cut off his own ear<\/strong><\/a> was because he had issues<\/strong>!!!<\/p>\n

AND although this post IS about ear issues… <\/strong>I guess it’s REAL purpose is to explain to everyone what has been going on with me at the Funky Friends Factory this past month. : )<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

NOW, please don’t think that I HAVE ISSUES<\/strong> when I say that I am sooooo happy because the doc diagnosed acute EAR INFECTION!<\/p>\n

Actually I’ve had a ‘headache\/neck pain that for about 5 weeks<\/strong>,\u00a0 and have been trying to soak away the pain by having long, hot, baths and so my ears were continuously wet which resulted in an acute ear infection<\/strong>!!! Why did I think of that?<\/p>\n

Anyway, I’m absolutely thrilled because I was in soooooooo much pain I was BEGGING my dentist to find a hole to drill… as I thought it was toothache!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Gecko<\/p>\n

\n

\n

It is amazing to be pain free <\/strong>after so many weeks of popping painkillers like sweeties! Aaaaaaaaaaaaahh! I’m one happy chick! : )\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

HOORAY!!!!<\/h2>\n

<\/strong> I am so pleased there is some light at the end of the tunnel…
\nand I’m sure my darling hubby and doggie<\/strong>s are too!<\/p>\n

\"dogs<\/p>\n

BECAUSE this morning I got out of the house… <\/strong><\/h2>\n

and went for a walk in the forest!!!<\/p>\n

\n

\"Pauline<\/p>\n

I really need to get out more!!!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It is<\/p>\n

sooooooooooooooooooooo<\/p>\n

good for the soul!<\/p>\n

\"Dave<\/p>\n

\n

So….. I want to let everyone know that the dust is finally settling after the website upgrade<\/strong> –><\/p>\n

After a rather stressful month, I am finally feeling that things are starting to work smoothly… and I am strong enough to tackle my overflowing in box of emails, and will hopefully get up to date with all my unanswered emails this month!!!<\/p>\n

I also want to tell you, I’m also DESPERATELY\u00a0 looking forward to getting back into the sewing room–><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have so many toy pattern ideas buzzing in my head…. it’s hard to sleep!!! : )<\/p>\n

\"Maria<\/p>\n

I’ll let you all have a guess as to what I’m designing next!!!<\/p>\n

*** WHAT do YOU think <\/strong>my next soft toy pattern is going to be? ***
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks again for your patience and understanding this month… till NEXT time…<\/p>\n

Happy sewing,<\/strong><\/p>\n
