Here's my desk on Tuesday afternoon just before I packed it away to write my post...
Harp image from Fussy Cut Freebies and a printed scripture verse I'd had for ages about the harp.
I was fine on Thursday in the day, however, the extended sitting on Wednesday probably lead to my back giving out after badminton! I hardly slept as a result....Oh my!
Then a different flare up, for which I'm still waiting for the GP to approve my repeat prescription request as I found my current tube of ointment is now out of date.
Friday's page reflects how I felt Friday.
Saturday I remembered Devotion in Action had a new water colour up, so I followed that.
My son and his friend returned from Japan early evening and stayed overnight Saturday which added to my anxiety.
He did bring me a Japanese news paper to use in my crafting and the coin is a 1 Yen.
The butterflies were a tutorial from Instagram.
Monday I had my annual appointment at the hospital which didn't go to plan, consequently I went into meltdown....
In the evening I followed a You Tube tutorial from Jenna Burne which was mainly black which was how I was feeling but surprisingly this was what I came up with.
The word refers to plants of the Umbellifer family. Only now, after looking it up, have I realised my flower heads do indeed resemble plants in this genre.
Yesterday I pretty much stayed in my room sleeping and crafting.
I journaled all my sadness all over my pages then sploshed some acrylic paint on top. Then the BLACK Distress ink came out.....
I've got the dentist tomorrow, really hoping that goes OK.
Happy WOYWW Everyone.
I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had such a trying week, doesn’t it always seem that these trials happen together? Hope you’re finding the crafting cathartic, it really seems to help if you keep your hands busy.

Oh my - it does sound like you've had a time of it for sure. Hopefully working in your journals will have helped you a bit. Getting it all out on that page would at least clear your mind a bit. On a brighter note, UMbelievable did make me smile. And fingers crossed for the dentist all going well. Something has to go your way, right? Bug hugs as I scoot round before knitting WOYWW!

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear how your week has been. Two hours sitting in a church pew was a bad start to the week. No wonder you had a bad back, I do hope it’s more comfortable now. Were you listening to someone speak for two hours? A long time. Happy WOYWW. Angela #14
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear you've had such a difficult week - I find crafting helps me a lot and it looks like you are really benefiting from getting stuck in to it - your pages are beautiful - I love the Umbellifer flowers, they are so happy and uplifting. I hope your back is on the mend - I think I would seize up after 2 hours in the same position too.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a better week than the last one,
Hugs, Diana xx #13
So sorry to read you’ve had a bad week but it’s good that the crafting helps a little. I hope your dental appointment went well.

ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that things aren't going all that well, thank goodness for journaling, where you can get it all out onto a page. How thoughtful of your son to bring some Japanese newspaper for you! I wonder what is says...Hope the dentist goes well, and that your back feels better soon. Have a great week, Lindart #17
ReplyDeleteI can really feel the pain and sadness in your pages this week and yet they are still beautiful. I hope (as I am so late) that you are feeling much better. How did you find the journalling and then covering it up? I think it's working fairly well for me so I hope it's helping you. And yay for a japanese newspaper! I'm getting around eventually! Have a sunny week, Lisa-Jane #10
ReplyDeleteSorry it's taken me so long to get back to commenting, BJ. Hope your back is much better now and that your GP has responded to your request. Despite your back pain you managed to do a great more than many would so well done you for that! Hugs, Elizabeth x #18
