WOYWW 904

 Hello deskers, hope you have all had a good week. It's flown round to Wednesday again which means WOYWW  with Sarah.  

I finished off the journal page I was working on last week, using my right hand as well as the left!

I added some little stamps in the background, numbers and text, 

then cut out the crow (he was pre stamped on tissue) so was easy to cut with my right hand, 

stamped the other bird in light card and cut him out too, right handed. 

the text as well, I managed ok with. 

I had an appointment with physio on Monday  -  got some exercises which I am trying hard to do often. 

whilst there I took a photo of the x ray of my metalwork!

the scar is healing, but I won't share that in case you're squeamish!  

I am just in a splint when I need it for support (mainly out and about so I don't get knocked) and a tubi-grip at work which is slightly better for typing. Hopefully the exercises will help with the bending of the wrist!  Mason, the physio was very impressed at how much mobility I have in my hand so is hopeful of a very good recovery (as long as I do the exercises!)

Work is going ok, am trying to take it easyish although that's tricky as we're always so busy. 

I got to Kew on Saturday - hurrah!!!  so have a Kew link for you too  

Can't quite believe that tomorrow is October.... I have decided not to make Christmas cards this year, certainly not as many as usual for posting out, which is one less thing to stress about 

til next week, happy WOYWW 

WOYWW 903

 Hi all.  happy WOYWW again,  Back to Sarah's  to get the info 

some more one handed typing and crafting - back to the floor.

went back to work on Tuesday needless to say ended up doing longer than I planned but was ok.  have agreed 10 - 3 for a few days - got physio on Monday will check with them . Happy WOYWW  

WOYWW 902

 Hello deskers. still one handed but determined to keep joining in with Sarah and the gang for another week of WOYWW  

I have had another go at some left handed stamping. 

I cleared the Dina stencils that live on top of my Paperartsy stamp boxes as they make, so I found out, a suitable height for stamping standing up. 

I used distress oxide inks in wild honey , fossilised amber and bundled sage and the wild grasses stamps by Alison Bomber  on a card blank.  

haven't attempted a focal point yet.  probably a step too far. 

thanks for dropping by, happy WOYWW.  

hopefully the wrist is healing, got a check up om Friday,  

staying off work as it's too much to work single, left handed. 

WOYWW 901

 Hi all welcome to a new week of WOYWW  Sarah has the link as usual.  

It was so lovely to see so many deskers last week for the anniversary, I'm just sorry I had so little to join in with. 

The op took place ok and a plate has been inserted in the wrist and I have a check up on the 18th 

till then I am in the sling over this bandage 

pretty impressive bruise up my arm!  I had trouble taking a decent photo 

I did try some left handed stanping which was a bit wobbly to say the least.  

I'll get round to see you when I can .

WOYWW 900 - what a biggie

 This was going to be such an exciting post to celebrate 900 weeks of this amazing weekly get together, started by Julia, helped by Jan and now Sarah.  I've been joining in for many years and made great friends.  sorry for the generic links. 

my recent wrist fracture has stopped me linking a lot of what I wanted to as I am typing this with my left hand, one fingered and so everything is slow and difficult. As things go, I should have been recovering from the surgery to pin my wrist as one of the little bones was moving so they want to pin it. Sadly it was cancelled for Saturday and just ( - edited mid-day Tuesday) again for Tuesday. Hoping for Thursday 

I am writing this on Saturday as I won't have any other time and wanted to make sure there was something in place!  Sadly no one-handed crafting either. I haven't missed a week since I started so determined to be here today.

this is my post for week 100  which was the week of Prince William and Kate's wedding. the first week ending 00 that Sarah suggested we share that we joined in on.  

I had hoped to add all sorts of photos but a lot of my old ones got lost when the previous computer died many years ago.

this was crop 2022 which is all I can find. 

not sure when I'll be able to visit; it all depends on the hospital.  (Jan is linking me, thanks!)  may not be able to comment either, we'll see. 

sending love to all deskers everywhere over the last 900 weeks past and present.
