Well here we are, another week has just flown by and I don't really have much to show you on my desk. I have been busy putting the finishing touches to the painting of my rag book and I think (after checking and re-checking several times) all the painting is now done. So the next thing is to get some lining (cannot remember what it is called) and start to stitch it up. I might even show it to you before it is sewn on the machine, ie, just tacked into place. Then again, I might even have it sewn up if I can remember how to thread my sewing machine never mind use it. But, think that is a big "might"!
Thought I would show you what is on my real desk - my boxes of paints. Well some of them - the acrylic ones
My desk - full view
Deco Art & Golden
All kinds
PaperArtsy
Amsterdam (small ones)
The two nappy boxes, left over from my cake icing days, are now full of paints, one with my Deco Art and Golden products in and the other with Stewart Gill, Dylon Fabric Paints, Lumieres and many, many more.
I do have some large Amsterdam tubes on my shelves but these are only repeats of some of the small ones so I just left them there, preferring to use the small tubes. I know I have nowhere near as many PaperArtsy paints as Helen but I have promised myself I will not buy any more paints until I have used some of these up.
Why am I showing you these? Because it is What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday again. The day when lots of us gather together and celebrate ten years of desk sharing. We actually share a lot more than just desk sharing. Friendships have grown and there is a lot of love and loyalty within this gigantic blog hop started by Julia here. If you have happened here by accident and never heard of this blog hop then why not join in and make some new friends, I can promise you will get a warm welcome. See you there?
Health Update:
As you know I went to see a chiropractor last Wednesday and I was a bit of a wreck. Well, it was a very pleasant meeting and despite what I have heard about chiropractors she did not hurt me one bit. She is so gentle and said she has to be extra so because of my Pacemaker etc. She treats a baby of five months and an old man of 93 so needs to be careful with them.
After establishing my past history and the state of play up to now she more or less said I was a bit of a mess ie there is a lot wrong. In her opinion (and that of my Chinese doctor) it is nerve pain and not muscle that I am experiencing, my nerves are twisted in my thoracic area and my rib cage is out of alignment. Think I have that right. Anyway, after a week of doing as much "heat/ice/rest" as I could fit in each day I went back to see her yesterday and had a second treatment. This time it was more manipulation and she feels positive that she can help me.
I am not pain free, in fact I have felt pretty much the same but whilst doing the treatment above I have been comfortable - and I have "hope". The biggest thing for me is that she has given me hope! Unfortunately she is on holiday for two weeks and I will not see her again until the 13th September but she is going to work out some exercises that I can do, so not to cause problems with my Pacemaker, and will send them through to me in the next day or so. In the meantime it is "heat/ice/rest". So I am a much happier bunny than I was.
Lots of you came up with great suggestions and you made me feel better knowing that there were other options out there that I had not thought about. So, should this not work there are other things I will explore - I am not going to give up! YOU made me feel so much better about myself and restored my faith.
Thank you so much, being part of WOYWW really is being part of a big family.
