My medical issues relating to colon cancer, colorectal surgery, ileostomy, parastomal hernia etc.
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? I have to say nothing much has changed on mine this week. Still the same detritus mid-project, working on the auto-opening window cards I was doing last week. I got my friend's card off a day late because the glue wasn't dry, and it took an extra…
Time for my annual review at the close of the year. This year has passed so quickly that it has left me gasping. The days seem to have flashed past me like for the hero of H.G. Wells' The Time Machine... For some of the time, it's been more a case of what…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Better late than never - just managing to get this posted before the end of the day! I wanted to bring my Tudor gown project up to date before posting, and I have also had other commitments today. I'm sorry I didn't manage to visit many of…
Sorry to be AWOL for the past couple of weeks. We seem to have been very busy of late, and something had to go... I've been doing a great deal of preparation for the final two sessions of our Bible study group before we break till the New Year, and that has taken…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? A bit of a mixed bag this week! I have managed to do a bit of tidying in my studio. I've been doing some more experimenting with the bleaching of the teabags, sewn some more teabags, and made further progress on my slippers. I've had some problems…
Another grocery delivery today, and some more veg prep ready for the week. Slightly less, as I have plenty of food prepared in the freezer, so I am hoping I will have a bit less cooking to do this week. Here is my usual colourful display of fruit and veg waiting to be…
Today I had my PIP assessment. PIP and DLA PIP is Personal Independence Payment, the new disability benefit that is being rolled out in the UK to replace the old DLA (Disability Living Allowance). These benefits are to enable chronically sick and disabled people to meet the extra needs they have and to…
What's On my Workdesk this Wednesday? Nothing new, I'm afraid. Still working on my eco project, so the sewing machine has been in use in the studio this week, and I've been doing some hand-sewing while watching TV etc. I am waiting for a couple of things to arrive from Ebay which should…
WOYWW What's On My Workdesk this Wednesday? Not a great deal - just my Cuttlebug and some dies, to cut some pantry labels. Labels for the Pantry Some time ago I made printed labels on the computer for my glass jars in the pantry. I really like these, and need to print off…
WOYWW What's On My Workdesk Wednesday isn't much, but slight progress on last week! Here are my teabag stains on watercolour now that they are dry. They are ready for doodling on, or otherwise embellishing. In the meantime I've been working on my little eco project, and I'll blog about that once it's…
