What’s On Your Workdesk this Wednesday?
The Grand Clear Up Continues
In the far corner (the sewing area, to the right of the display area), I have now cleared the top shelf and put some display items out. I’ve also put some of my pictures up on the main display area. The lower shelf still remains to be sorted. The black things propped up against the wall underneath are my old metal pegboards which I had over my desk in our old house and which have never been used here. I am thinking of putting one of them up on the wall there, and hanging my various containers and hooks, so that I can have sewing tools etc. close at hand.
The same corner, lower down. The little metal cabinet with the plastic drawers on the right is going. It’s got Mum’s sewing stuff in it, and I’ve never used it. I think my hubby will probably be able to use it in his man cave (not the contents!). Underneath the sewing machine is where I store the sewing machine accessories (foot pedal etc.) and a small ironing board (originally a sleeve board). The large green box has all my sewing kit in it, and it has trays either side that open out on hinges. I bought it years before I got married (it’s probably 45 years old now!) – from a fishing shop. On the label it said “Six worm-proof trays”! Lol! I still think of that whenever I open it up! It’s one of those things that’s been part of my life for an age.
Moving on round, I’ve more or less sorted this section but I need to go through the boxes in the centre section, and organise my drawing materials better on the right. The top shelf in the centre (out of shot) is now empty. Having reorganised things a bit, I need to get a few more Really Useful Boxes.
The boxes of ribbons on the left need to find another home. To the right are boxes of binding wires for my album binding kit which I’ve had for many years and never used. The actual machine is lurking somewhere – I haven’t found it yet!! The red baskets have empty carrier bags in them – part of the clearing process. The grey mat on the right is a folded ironing pad – heat proof, foam backed – really useful when I use my small craft iron (in the corner to the right of the fan). Behind, is my large blue folder containing all my Tombow markers and other pens, an empty green plastic storage box I was given recently, and the new blue pencil case I had for my birthday (still empty!). Underneath the ironing pad is my light pad with a white plastic sheet laid over it. This is very useful for tracing.
Right in the corner, I have weeded out a few bits and pieces from the two tall cardboard storage boxes. I will probably clear some more of this lot, as I would like to reduce it to one box. Shoved in the corner are various embroidery frames, my skein winder (top left – Dad made this for me many years ago), and easels of various kinds. There are also a couple of disassembled small looms. Who knows, I may weave again one day! There is also a large whiteboard against the wall which I have used in the past when teaching larger Bible study groups. The thing with the white bag over it is a magnifier on a goose neck which I rescued when Mum’s old embroidery lamp collapsed. I have decided that I shall never use this, so I offered it to my hubby and he’s taken it – it’s too good to throw away!! He will probably be able to rig up some sort of clamp and find a use for it.
I’ve cleared the white cupboards on the right and they now contain excess fabrics which were bursting out all over the place, and smaller frames. The larger ones are now stacked between the units under the drawing/sewing areas.
Moving on around again, the white cupboards on the left are the remaining part of that storage unit, which has open shelves between the cupboards. These shelves have large Really Useful Boxes on them which are remaining as they were – they contain spinning and weaving equipment, embroidery fabrics, silk fabric and leather scraps. The cupboards contain the bulk of my fabrics, and some weaving yarns at the top.
The black storage unit I think is now complete. I’ve cleared all the frames and canvases out from the bottom shelf (see above) and I’ve been able to store all the yarn boxes on this unit now. There are Really Useful Boxes stored behind them, containing things not used so often. The long Really Useful Boxes on the right are as they were, with rolls of wallpaper and wrapping paper, fabric bags, and spare pens and other art stationery. I think we covered the rest in the last blog post.
Now for the unit under the window. Not much change on the surface, but various other things have been dumped on there while clearing elsewhere. Underneath, you can see that there are now some spaces for additional Really Useful Boxes. Two of them ended up in the pantry downstairs a while back. I’ve already earmarked two of these boxes (on the right-hand side) to keep the new foiling stuff in, for when the foiling machine arrives from Cindy.
The boxes at bottom left contain glues and adhesives, and spare stationery (office). The centre section has Distress re-inkers and a small divided box on top with cut paper flower pieces, and on the top shelf, the small cardboard boxes contain cards and toppers ready for assembly. I’ll probably end up storing my dies and stamps in the remaining spaces on the right. There’s a box on the shelf above the main work area for dies at the moment. My stamps are in a total muddle – some are hanging from a rail above the main desk area, and others are in a couple of folders (at present on the work surface under the window. I am not sure what to do about those because no storage system I have tried so far seems to work for me. I’ve got a mixture of cling-mounted rubber stamps and clear stamps and would love to know how best to store them together.
The pull-out unit beside the main desk is now much better – you can actually see the surface of it!
The main work desk and the surface under the window will be the last areas to be tackled, I think.
It was getting ridiculous not being able to put anything on the table by the sink, so I cleared it.
The two boxes on the table contain craft supplies I no longer want, and stuff for charity shops or giving away. As time goes on, more stuff wll go in these boxes.
I forgot to photograph the sink itself before clearing, but the draining board was a mess of dryng teabags, carved wooden printing blocks and other detritus from when I was trying to bleach teabags. The sink was pretty grubby too. This is all now cleared away and it’s looking spick and span with a nice clean sink!
It’s incredibly useful having a water source in the studio. When we first moved here, there was a wash basin in that corner. The builder took the sink out of the old kitchen and reinstalled it up in the studio. There are open shelves underneath (which still need clearing) with newspapers, large plastic sheets, paint brushes and all sorts of stuff. The builder took the cupboard doors off at my request because having the table beside the sink, it would not have been possible to open them. Still on the sink, I have a couple of cutlery drainers with various paintbrushes, foam brushes and cleaning brushes. Just above you can see a loop of cable – this leads to a small microwave on a high shelf. This is useful for dyeing small quantities of wool.
I reckon I have made good progress now. The room looks very much tidier and better organised and I think I’ve broken the back of the job, although there’s still a lot to do.
New foiling stash
In preparation for the arrival of the new TODO (To Do? Todo? – see last week’s post!) machine, I’ve been ordering foils and hot foil stamps, ready for playing. I’ve also ordered some new dies and layering stamps, in readiness for my restart in the studio! These are starting to arrive now. I am going to have some fun. This will probably have to wait till after my operation, and any further treatment I might need, but nothing is certain yet. It will be lovely to have something to look forward to.
Here are the dies I’ve received so far.
The set at top left is called “Gold Rounds One” from Spellbinders. The dies do not cut; they emboss. They co-ordinate with Spellbinders’ basic circle dies, but I can’t find a set of these anywhere – I have a set of nesting circle dies from Darice and hope they are going to work with those. The other set of circle dies from Spellbinders at top right are called “Splendid Circles.” The final Spellbinders item, at bottom right, is their 3-d embossing folder “Basket Weave” – I think someone posted about this last week and I had to get this one! I created a Zentangle pattern to this interwoven design, called “Y-Ful Power” several years ago – it’s a pattern that really intrigues me.
The remaining unbranded dies at bottom left are cheap ones from Ebay. I was intrigued by Mary Anne’s instructions recently on making a digital pattern from a sentiments frame die and I think I’m going to do the same with this one, scanning it and importing it into my desktop publisher and adding some sentiments that can be printed out and then accurately cut with the die.
HDD failure at the worst possible time!
On Sunday night, my main laptop which lives in the sitting room, which has been having fits of utmost slowness, started to freeze. I restarted it a couple of times but it didn’t improve things. Finally, it wouldn’t reboot at all. I went through all the usual checks, including trying to boot from my recovery USB drive, all to no avail. Finally I discovered on the command prompt page that under “Windows files” it said “0” – NOT a good sign! On Monday morning after my appointment at the surgery, my hubby took me to our tame computer guy and we left the laptop with him. He phoned early afternoon to say that the HD wa definitely caput and that he would fit a new SSD (solid state drive) in its place – the largest capacity at 995 GB (the nearest to the dead 1TB drive) has to be ordered and he wasn’t sure how long it would be. He phoned a bit later to say it would be with him the next day! Depending on the time of its arrival, the laptop would be ready for collection either later on Tuesday or on Wednesday. He’s really efficient. Unfortunately it wasn’t ready yesterday so I’m waiting for a call today.
In the meantime I’ve been using my old laptop, that lives on my desk in the office upstairs. It usually only gets used for the accounts these days, or if I want to do any printing. It has also been having bouts of slowness and this got worse after I brought it downstairs, so I think this is also about to fail – this laptop is pretty old now. My hubby suggested that once I’d got the other one back and I’d reinstalled everything, I lshould leave this one with Computer Guy for some diagnostic tests, and if it’s on the way out, he could put a new hard drive in – I would want him to put in the smallest size of SSD (240GB) which is really all I need for this backup computer.
I am very cross with myself. I’ve had this problem before, and I really should have recognised the symptoms and dealt with it before it failed completely. I am assiduous about backing up – with the exception of temporary stuff dumped on the desktop. This is my downfall! I had some photos on there awaiting editing, and also some downloaded videos – I can download these again but I can’t actually remember what they all were, and there were quite a lot! There were also various other bits and pieces on the desktop and I really can’t remember what half of them were! Because the defunct drive won’t spin, Computer Guy is unable to retrieve anything from it, which means that when I get the laptop back with its clean Windows installation, I’m going to have to spend some considerable time reinstalling all the programs and data. This is going to take several days.
I have discs for a lot of the software, and when I download software, I always save the .exe installation file in my downloads folder which is always backed up, so that isn’t a problem.
This couldn’t have happened at a worse time because I am really busy with the studio reorganisation, and trying to get things organised in advance of my cancer treatment, for instance making sure there’s plenty of food in the freezer. I shouldn’t need such a protracted convalescence as before as the surgery isn’t nearly so major but I won’t be able to do a lot for a good few days. If I need chemo, I shall probably be incapacitated again after each treatment, as I was before. This brings me to:
Health update
On Wednesday morning of last week, I had my MRI scan., Full details of this interesting experience on my Breast Cancer page. Apart from reassuring you that in answer to one of their questions, I am not, and have never been, a welder, I’ll say is that after 35 minutes inside a strong magnetic field, Shoshi’s magnetic personality has emerged with enhancements. I wasn’t given any results at the time, of course, but was told they would be forthcoming pretty quickly. I remember this waiting period with my first cancer, between the first CT scan and getting the results which were to show whether the cancer had metastasised beyond the bowel – which it had not. That was a horrible waiting period. This time, however, I continued to feel completely at peace, and able to concentrate on living my life and enjoying it. I feel very different this time around. Half the time I’m not even thinking about cancer at all.
Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.
Nehemiah 8:10
On Monday morning, before taking the laptop in for repair, I had an appointment at the GP’s surgery for a regular check-up. I am on rivaroxaban, an anticoagulant, and while this doesn’t require the weekly INR testing that is needed if you are taking warfarin, they do like to keep a periodic check on liver and kidney function. She took some blood and they will also test my cholesterol – I shall be very interested to hear the result of this as I haven’t had it tested since we went entirely vegan/whole-food plant-based. Getting the animal fat out of my diet should have made a difference (my cholesterol was slightly raised), just as it has with my hubby – his was dramatically reduced, much to the amazement of the doctor! He was on statins because of his family history (which in my opinion was not due to genetics but to lifestyle) and the doctor said he no longer needs them. This is a relief as they were causing muscle pain – these drugs are most unpleasant and really not strictly necessary in most cases. The nurse also weighed and measured me and took my blood pressure (which was within normal parameters, but a little higher than usual, which is normally quite low).
No doubt I’m going to have to go through all this again on Thursday! My arm has been bruised all week from the cannula they inserted before my MRI scan, and it’s now a lot worse! Normally I don’t get this bruising but being on an anticoagulant, there’s been quite a bit of subcutaneous bleeding. It will probably continue to be so for the duration if true to form, they continue to puncture me! I am rapidly returning to my former existence as a pincushion.
With everything else that has been going on, I haven’t done any more on my Persian Tiles throw.
Food
Yesterday after my grocery delivery, I had a mammoth cooking session. Because Computer Guy didn’t phone to say my laptop was ready for collection yesterday, the new drive presumably didn’t arrive early enough for him to complete the work; no doubt I’ll get a phone call sometime today, and then my hubby can collect it for me. I wanted to get the mid-week cooking out of the way so that I’d have more time to concentrate on setting up the laptop. I am keen to get this all sorted before I begin my treatment.
I made Saddam Hussein soup (Iraqi Spiced Lentil Soup) – a firm favourite; a fresh batch of veg stock from my trimmings stored in a bag in the freezer till I’ve got enough (I use my electric pressure cooker for this); the weeky batch of kombucha; Vegan Broccoli Salad for today’s lunch; the filling for Chickpea Ranch Wraps for today’s supper, and a big batch of Jamie Oliver’s Wonderful Veg Tagine. This Middle-Eastern dish is very fragrant. Each time I came back into the kitchen I could detect the wonderful aroma of saffron! It also has a spice blend called Ras El Hanout which I make up and store in a jar for the spice rack, and a slice of preserved lemon. Preserved lemons are lemons on steroids! You can see how many different vegetables I have put in this batch. My chef’s knife has been kept busy. I serve this with various grains and ring the changes – bulgur wheat, millet, couscous – and just before serving, sprinkle toasted pine nuts and a drizzle of pomegranate molasses on top. Yum. This was Recipe of the Week back in October 2019.
Recently I ordered some saffron online and there is absolutely no comparison between this and what the supermarket has to offer. The flavour is intense! Saffron is one of the most expensive spices, and fortunately a little goes a long way. This recipe calls for a single pinch in half a litre of boiling water, and this tiny quantity turns the liquid a rich golden yellow and fills the room with fragrance. Saffron is the stamens of a special type of crocus, and it has to be harvested by hand, which is presumably why it is so expensive – tiny little strands. I don’t envy the people employed in this work – it must be back-breaking! It is more expensive, weight for weight, than gold, and it is a golden spice in every way – colour, flavour, aroma and value.
Kitties
The kitties continue to love the Kitty Throw. Often my hubby will leave the blanket on the chair and the have to be satisfied with that. Here they are, two sleepy little beans nestled together.
Reading and sleeping on the Kitty Throw. What luxury life is!
Finally, Lily looking sweetly through the bannisters as I sailed majestically down the stairs on my stairlift! (I always feel like the Queen of Sheba arriving… I bet she had cats.) Lily is fascinated by the stairs, and often hangs around on the landing looking down.
Have a good week, everybody. I’ve got a lot to do this week and may not manage to visit everyone’s blog but I’ll do my best. More news next week on the health front and hopefully on the organising front too, if I manage to make any further progress.
What a lot of sorting out and clearing you are doing. Please do not tire yourself out before your surgery. So good to read you are still at peace with the upcoming operation. Sorry to hear that you are bruising like that with the various needles you are having. I too am on Rivaroxaban and so I have the repeated blood tests on a regular basis. In fact I am returning home simply because I have one on Monday morning. I took the afternoon appointment because it is the phlebotomist from the hospital and she copes with my moving veins. It will be ‘wham bam, thank you mam’ thankfully. Hope you don’t get more bruising tomorrow.
I am sure the Queen of Sheba had cats, but I do not think they would be as pretty as Lily is when she is watching you through the spindles. Thanks for the photos of the two of them again – such beauties they are. And I love getting more glimpses of the wonderful throw you made for your husband.
Saffron is indeed wonderful – and expensive, although I remember buying some in Cyprus one time and marvelling at how cheap it was compared with at home. Plus it was the good stuff!
Hope all goes well for you tomorrow and good luck with the computer, fingers crossed it is ready for you today.
Hugs, Neet 10 xx
SO much to comment on. I think you have done an AMAZING job on your tidy-up. It looks fab! As to the ribbons, I have a solution that works for me. When next in the grocery store, ask them if you can have a few of the strips they have hanging on the shelves, that display related things. They are plastic and have little tabs, or “hooks” all in a column. I have gosh maybe 8-10 of them hanging from a row of hook on the back of the door to my craft room. Then the ribbons are all sorted by colour into little zip-lock bags and hung from the tabs. I can see it all at a glance. I’ll try to remember to add a photo at some point to show you. glad your diagnosis isn’ slowing you down and you are looking forward. Yeah, just say NO to statins! They are what completely altered my life (as what I have is called STATIN-INDUCED Necrotizing Autoimmune Myositis for a reason) and nothing to mess with. My cholesterol was not that high to begin with and the lipid clinic Dr. I saw told me that thru diet you can only change your cholesterol by a max of 17%. The rest in genetics. Lastly, saffron! I think as it is SO expensive at the grocery store, it probably sits on the shelf for well past it’s best by date. Where did you order it online? I need to restock anyway 🙂
Trying for an early start this week!
Happy WOYWW

OK so I know they aren’t, but the big RUBs on the top of the unit that almost reach the ceiling look very precarious to me and make me nervous!! You’re doing a marvellous job in there Shoshi, it helps me. And reassures me, because I don’t think I have the same amount to go through, I’m very much a one trick pony so just paper crafting stuff to sort! I had an MRI at the end of last month (have an annual MRI to ensure the old tumour remains that, OLD). I have to have a head cage clamped over my face and despite not having a problem with any of it, it’s at that point that I have to remind myself to breathe evenly…specially because I found lying down with a mask on meant that it was prone to move into my eyes with deep breaths! Then there’s always the fifty odd puncture marks in hands elbows, wrists whilst they try to find a vein that’s open for a canula. They are very patient people! I don’t expect to hear from my consultant for about 12 weeks….good job I’m not an anxious type! Am fairly sure you’ll love the foiling, and it’s a lovely idea to keep it for something to look forward to after the surgery. Very glad to read that plans haven’t snagged or been delayed for any reason.
The kitties are lovely, which reminds me I have to go and feed one right now! You have space on your shelves how did your manage that!… If I take some thing down…there’s no where to put it! Keep well, stay safe, Happy WOYWW ((Lyn)) #15
Hi Shoshi.
Good to catch up. Been praying each day,will keep that up. MRI are noisy and claustrophobic, esp of head. But lower not so much. Will never forget my first one.
As I’m on cortisone I bruise badly, have shocking veins.. collapsing sort had three people including expert from angio ward to put cannula in suitable for angiogram. No fun, ended up with cellulitis from failed attempts. Ouch. So feel with you.
Re SB embossing folder was on my post, repeat this week, its called Celtic weave on my packet.
I love it with the Tarnished metal technique.
Looks stunning.
Your tidy up puts me to shame totally ??… and I adore your kitties.. how cute peeking through bannisters like that.
Thanks for sharing and happy WOYWW. Praying on for many miracles of mercy in it all. ??Prayer hugs, Shaz in Oz.x

Wow you seem to have been very busy! The good thing about having a sort out is you find things you had forgotten all about! Have fun with your new stash, give those adorable kitties and cuddle from me x Angela #9
Excellent sorting! It is so useful to have a water source in your studio!
I am looking forward to seeing your TODO makes…
Happy WOYWW!
Susan #20
Too doo or Toe Doe? The enigma continues! Those are lovely new bits you’ve got in anticipation of the machine arriving. And you’ve got a tidy craft room in which to stash them away when they’re not in use. Win-win!
Hugs LLJ 7 xxx
A rare glimpse into your craft room there – everything looking ship-shape now. I love foiling too but my repertoire starts and finishes at using a cheap laminator. I have seen some amazing things doze with dies and embossing folders used with a foil press machine, but managed to talk myself out of it. Love the picture with Ruby (or Lily) on the arm of the chair – how cute and idyllic! Your diet must have had an effect on your cholesterol! I like the healthy goodness in that pot. I hope you get encouraging results following your MRI. The computer problems seem negligible compared to everything else – annoying, of course, but it can be easily fixed. Let’s concentrate on fixing Shoshi now! Happy WOYWW! xx zsuzsa #21
i am sorry that I fell asleep while reading your post. I was already tired, but your post was so long, I couldn’t stay awake any longer. I love your Really Useful Boxes. They look useful. You have a TON of stash and it is all getting so well organized. Those plastic bins are to die for. My craft budget won’t allow for those, but I can still dream.
The kitties still touch my heart, and I am sorry your arm hurts and your drugs are painful. I hope you feel better soon, dear. Happy WOYWW from # 5.
Happy WOYWW. You have achieved so much in your craft room. I don’t have a sink in my actual room, but there is a shower room just down the corridor where I can get some water, or if there is anything needing washing I go further along to the laundry room, where there is a proper sink area. Makes me get up and move! I love how much loved the Kitty Throw is. Very satisfying to make a gift and see it being used. Those foils you have bought for the Todo are glorious. I have had a hot foiling machine in the past, which worked well (required a laser printer, which I bought a cheap Brother one). However, in a past craft room clear-out, that was one package that got sold (when I needed to pay big vets bills). A crafty friend bought it with the printer and uses it a lot, so that is good. I have also got the glue/cold foil kit, which works fine. I treated myself to a Foil Quill, which is like a pen that heats up and it works in my Silhouette Cameo. I don’t use it often, but it is fun when I have the inclination. I nearly bought a Todo a few years ago, as I adore letterpress. However, I couldn’t justify the expense and having yet another machine. Will be interested to see your projects with it. Ali x #24
Hi Shoshi, you must be excited about your TODO machine if you are already shopping! I’m thinking the Spellbinders die set you need is probably this one, which you can order from Amazon UK and they ship from US. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spellbinders-Nestabilities-Standard-Circles-Small/dp/B00161N30G?th=1
Sorry to hear about your laptop. I had a 2TB external drive that I was going to use as a back up drive for something else but I hadn’t got round to backing it up first, and it fell off the bottom shelf of the bookcase, a few inches only, on to the floor and it was toast! I lost everything and like you, couldn’t remember what all was on it! Glad your MRI went ok, I’ve had a few of them and I really don’t enjoy the experience at all. Good luck for your next appointment.
Your food looks delicious, I love middle eastern food, and preserved lemons. I know they are not to everyone’s taste, but I just love them. I am in a bit of a cooking slump at the moment due mainly to lack of time I think, so I am existing on granola and salad lol, at least I do make the granola and it is yummy. I don’t eat a lot of the stuff they put in commercial granola so I don’t buy it. Your kitties look very contented. I wish mine would snuggle up together but they are currently in separate rooms lol
Happy WOYWW! Elle #25 this week
Hi Shoshi, just quickly, both sizes are available on that amazon link, just select L or S. Gotta run!
Wow Shoshi you have made excellent progress with the sorting and tidying. I wish I had a sink in the shed – it is the one thing that I would have installed if I had a larger purpose built studio. Hope your MRI results come through soon. Meow to the kitties! Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah #4
Well i am very impressed at your mammoth sortout session(s) I hope you don’t end up covered in bruises from the tests though! Big boo to the computer issues – hope your computer guy can fix the new drive asap Take care. Helen #1
Shoshi, I agree with Julia…..those boxes make me nervous as well!!!!! LOLOL My goodness you are really getting after the clearing!! I must say that you have a great craft area and everything really does look in its place!! Ok, so curiosity always kills the cat, but I really want to know about the two, what looks like pen drawings, in the second and third photo!! Two on top of the display shelves and one underneath the shelf! Oh my gosh I love them all!! Did you do those Shoshi??? Gorgeous and would love to see close-ups of them!! My computer does not allow me to zoom in on the photo! Can’t wait to see the new crafting equipment and what all you get on doing on it!! I KNOW you will be famous in whatever you do, you have the artist knack!! Sorry to hear about the computer. It seems like sometimes when it rains it pours!! My Chromebook is giving me a fit lately as well and I think it’s on its way out. I couldn’t be bothered with a big computer at home. I used to have one and it was more trouble than it was worth. So it’s a tablet for me!! I don’t do much on it anyway so don’t need anything more! LOL Shoshi, you are such a strong woman and I admire your faith and belief in your situation!! I had the same feeling when I was diagnosed. That’s not a boast for me, it was ALL GOD!!!! I had extreme peace when they diagnosed me and peace througout my treatments. And, Neh 8:10 says it all doesn’t it? Even though I know they have to do the testing to get some sort of game plan, I hate that you are having to deal with the bruising, etc…. I remember all too well! Your Persian Tiles will be there when you get to them. You are most important and need to take care of yourself! I look forward to when you get back to them, they are so beautiful! Blessings to you my friend and glad I was able to get around to you this week. It’s been hectic at work! Take care and have a wonderful rest of your week! You remain in my prayers! Felicia #22
Wow the clear up is going so well – you are incredible. I hope the results from the MRI come back soon. My friend (age 41) has just been diagnosed with multi-focal breast cancer and will be having a mastectomy soon. Her hair is like yours – stunning and long (down to the back of her knees) I keep praying for you both to have peace as you move forward in your treatment and that you will keep your hair. Give the kitties a hug for me. Happy Belated WOYWW. Take care and stay safe. With love & God Bless, Caro xxx (#23)
