WOYWW 873

Welcome to Crafting With Jack and What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday, a day when we link up to Sarah's Craftshed and have a look to see what everyone has been doing.  


I have been sorting my pen collections, I bought 3 pencil cases from Tesco, 2 I already had.
On the right is a Tiny pieces of Art.  the prompt was "Candy Crush".


Last year I bought this board book with the intention of using it for art.  The assistant in the shop kept me waiting for 5 minutes while she looked though it, oohing and ahhing over every picture.  Yesterday I practically did the same!  they are charming pictures, do I really want to gesso over them?  The answer being no, obviously! However I thought I could use them as covers.




The above are part of the monthly challenge at JoDitt Williams site.  As you can see I can't write in straight lines!


My busy, busy desk!

Still not well unfortunately. I discovered that chewing  (among other things) sets the pain off.  So my husband has been mashing my food to limit chewing - not a pretty sight!

My husband just said to me are you doing your blog today, I replied later, it's Tuesday. laughing he said it was Wednesday!  oops!  I blame it on a bad night, actually not a bad night as the pain didn't start till 5:30.   I had a CT scan Monday, results in two weeks, but had a CT scan doesn't show nerves not expecting it to reveal anything.

I have been sorting through through my craft stuff in order to try and cut down on the amount I take on holiday.  I bought an expanding file to keep various A4 papers in. it doesn't hold as much as I thought it would, so I went back to get another one.  It seemed a higher price than the first one, but I thought it must be the same.  When I got it home it was a lot bigger!  Somehow both folders are not enough - I might take too much!




The above were for the "Tiny Pieces of Art" challenge.

 Welcome to Crafting With Jack and What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday, a day when we link up to Sarah's Craftshed and have a look to see what everyone has been doing.  

On the TV the other day a newsreader said the continuous rain hadn’t quite reached Biblical proportions, but it was close to being 40 days and 40 nights!  My heart goes out to all those affected by the floods, the situation made worse by insurance companies who no longer payout for such disasters.

Which leads nicely into where I am in Genesis!


The hearts are for a challenge, not ready yet.

I went to A&E last Wednesday having been told to go by the doctor. The latest thinking is that it is nerve pain, untreatable apart from strong painkillers.  They are reducing the pain to a manageable level. 

I have been creating with Ai. Very rarely content with just one or two images I tend to carry on until the ideas have been exhausted or I need forty winks!

Hearts.



Swans, Doves for another project.

My desk nice and clear and showing my storage files with neat labels.  I have been sorting out my images.  Trying to make things easier to find.

I think my face pain is getting better one minute and in pain the next!  I am trying to take painkillers as soon as I feel it coming on, but sometimes it's not been four hours.  I have a CT scan appointment on February 16.  Lynne suggested the trigeminal nerve might be a possibility and the symptoms seem to fit.   Meanwhile not much crafting being done!
