WOYWW #595 - On a roll...

 Yep quite inspired this week, 6 layouts and started a new jigsaw too.

Here's my craftcorner and desk. I've moved my monitor up a "Thesaurus" which has helped my neck enormously.


Oh my life I just dragged the photos on to the blog page (auto response as to how it used to work) and it worked!!! Didn't need to go through the rigmarole of all the steps to upload a photo. YAY .


Anyway, I finished off scrapping February 2019. 









Managed to fit all of March on a double layout, and started on April...








Still having a bit of trouble placing the photos where I want them and text in between with this new blogger thingy but really happy you can drag them on now.

Yep and the new jigsaw is another borrowed one, I tend to swap with a friend when we see eachother at church once a fortnight, other than that and hospital appointments I don't meet up with anyone these days so lovely to have a window into the crafting world via WOYWW.

Just managed to put the text where I wanted too, definitely picked the right title today.

Oh and one last thing, my medical insurance had said it didn't cover the full amount of my anaesthetist's fees but in the end it actually paid it in FULL. Happy dance.

Happy WOYWW Everyone

WOYWW #594 - Post Surgery (AWOL 9 Weeks)

Nearly 2 calendar months since my left shoulder surgery and I was determined to do some crafting before joining in here again. So here's my desk with a double layout - YAY.

I did get back into jigsaws about 3 weeks post op and have done 4 of those. 

However all the shoulder exercises and physio have irritated my neck so I can't stay at my desk too long.

I can now more my arm about 90-95% of normal range which is a huge improvement but it is still quite sore and my right arm/shoulder has decided to join in with hurting along with the neck and right hip and back so sleeping is quite torturous.

The house jigsaw was lent to me by a friend but the other three were from my "The Works" order per-op. I did get a partial refund for the one damaged jigsaw I returned, it was less the voucher I used to pay for order, not sure if that was a coincidence or not - still pursuing that.

My main activity is walking, although it's raining today, shall I? Unfortunately I'm unable to get back into my "normal" activities of badminton and dancing due to COVID restrictions let alone the shoulder!

Anyway I "need" to make an anniversary card today, have been lacking in sending greetings cards the past few months but I really ought to get back into crafting and sitting at my desk with SAD light, now the days are drawing in and murky.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.
