Julia thinks her desk looks a mess - I think mine is too. It's been a funny old week with a lot of back pain and a procedure to have at the hospital. But more on that lot later, you are here to see my desk in all its glory. Why? Because that is what I do, each Wednesday joining in with Julia and the other deskers and baring my, ahem, desk. Pop along to see Julia's and join in the fun.
I did say a couple of weeks ago I would show you what I did with some fairy stamps - well, still haven't done them. Not for lack of trying as I have started but realised I needed more stamps to do the background (the ones I thought would work didn't). So here is the start of some fairy cards.
Just to prove I started at last
turning the corner - my Vagabond
and the whole picture (below)
As you can see my desk is in a bit of a pickle. I am trying to get my journal done for tomorrow's challenge, I have my box of white card out, my trusty old Vagabond is waiting to be put away along with the circle cutters and the sticky backed paper I use for the circles on my fairy cards. Oh, and there's a few tiny inkpads in a tiered container that I thought I might use but didn't. A bit further down on the left is my box of Christmas stuff (not put away yet because I cannot reach into the cupboard for fear of my back going) and a bag of dumfing which I have not been able to do - again because of my back. My Distress Inks are in the lounge on a trolley so I can do a bit whilst resting my back.
Health Update:
Went to the chiropractor on Friday and she was thrilled I had been having such a good couple of weeks so she went even deeper. Well, it has not been that good since. I have had pain at the slightest movement in a morning including Monday when I had to go to the hospital for the Endoscopy Camera Capsule.
Getting into the car, ever so carefully, it went and so began the agonising journey, in rush hour, to the hospital for the 8.30 visit. Just made it. Luckily they let Chas stay with me and he rubbed my back for a solid half hour and got it stable. Then I had the belt fitted, the receiver attached and I swallowed the copper pill. Luckily for me I had the 'new' pill which meant instead of a sip of water I could have a glass and I could drink water when I got home. At 2.15 I had a slice of bread and butter and at 5.30 I had some fish, veg and boiled potatoes. Bliss! At 9 pm I took the contraption off.
(T shirt tucked into my bra so you can see the size of the white belt full of those stickers and wires and the receiver attached by a tube sticking out of the bottom of the belt.) Brilliant technology!
Next day they rang early to remind me to take the belt and receiver back but as my back was so bad it ended with Chas having to take it and me having to lie flat with a hot water bottle on my back until the neighbours and our gardener had a row! But that is another story.
Not a good week for crafting or anything - hope it gets better so am resting for two days (if I can, I hate sitting about) in the hopes my back settles. Can't see the chiropractor for three weeks as she is in India on a much deserved and needed holiday.
