Week 47 ...and counting.

Again ... like so many of you , I can not believe that it is WOYWW again so soon. I think the weeks appear to be getting even shorter as it takes me a good two days to get round everyone ...so I am thinking Wednesday when its actually Thursday ...or even Friday. I was so late today that I really was going to give it a miss ....but I couldn't.

I have not done very much crafting this week except my abortive attempts to paint glass ... I may have one more go before giving up ...thanks for the tips people have passed on.
I have done a lot of musing over the wk52 challenge ...and discarded many ideas. I also have had thoughts over the cover of my Zentangle Art Journal ... but I'm stil not sure what size and type of page I should work on ... but I'll get there in the end....there is no need to rush ...well I DO need to do the challenge before wk 52 lol.

Here is my desk ... covered in Gallery Glass bottles ... but not much else

Here is a snoop into another part of our humungus stash wardrobe...all 12ft of it.I have to point out that any tidyness is NOTHING to do with me ...DD and Vicki take the credit for that.

This is part of my mess ...still resigned to the floor.


My backpain comes and goes still but my knee has now come out in sympathy too ... if I take any more ibroprofen and paracetamol, I'll probably end up with an angry tummy or indigestion too ... wow that is so negative when I really have so little to worry about....I really do need to do some crafting and blopping to lift the spirits.

I shall have to start on the links this evening ....so bare with me

Take Care xx

Send DD and Vicki to me I need their organising skills. Have been considering ways to reorganise but many have been rejected as too expensive or wouldn't fit without chucking something else. Got another shallow cardboard box from supermarket. Now I can spend money on crafty stuff.I don't really need really useful boxes do I?Love Betty

Hiya Angie! Sorry about your pain, yes I think if you do a bit of blogging and a bit of crafting and add to that a bit of music ( make a few dance steps) you will not only feel good you will feel GREAT!

Spyder said...

I've seen the Pain doctor, his name was Dr Pain..(!!!) I got his CD...say no more...the Dr I saw on Monday...um...she didn't have a CD...but I was told to love my pain! (By this time I'm look at the door expecting the REAL Doctor to come in and ask for his name badge back and tell 'Lesley' it's time for a medication and to go back to the ward!!)
Oh well, it made me laugh...and I'm still soooooo jealous of your useful boxes!! Hope you feel better soon!! ((Lyn))

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

Great organization. Love those storage boxes, even if you didn't do all that organizing.

Sorry to hear about your back pain. I know how frustrating and PAINFUL that can be. Hope your WOYWW was wonderful. Sorry I'm so late getting here. It's taking me two days to get to everyone.

Arkansas Patti said...

Your organization makes me look around my tiny home and shudder. Need to apply some of your principals here.
Hope you back eases. I too have trouble and find if I rotate my mattress, which I usually forget to do, helps bunches. I have a noflip mattress but rotating helps a bunch.

Second no matter who did your organising it is brilliant....I join you on the ibuprofen (600mg) this time :( love the glass painting thing...I alas cannot get into that at all..partly due to the fact I cannot ice cakes either ha ha xx

Wow what a lot of stash. I only have about six copics but after using the pro markers have decided that I prefer the pro markers.
