It's seen a lot more action than my work desk this week, for sure! I am still in that phase of thinking about doing stuff, and then not having the energy to actually do it. It's an incredible waste of time, but what can ya do?!
So there's the notepad from real work with the 'to do' list on it. There are 25 entries and 4 ticks, so all is not quite lost! There's the home-made crochet hook roll and inevitably, some cheerful crochet work. Fab yarn for a simple project, very cheering. You can just see, bottom right, where I store my scrapbooks under the wooden unit. The barely visible white envelope is a gathering of really old photos that I go through now and then. I'm definitely in the 'scrapbooking the now' club!
Inspire, inform and fill me with beans please - show your desk, or wherever it is that you're crafting this week. It will be so nice to be at your place instead of mine!
Oh Julia, the yarn has such fun colors. Should help for a happy mood. Glad to know you are taking caution. Hope you soon are back to the normal routine...drives me nuts to be tied down.
ReplyDeleteHave a fun week.
Hey at least you have something crafty....I didn't even make it to my craft room....photo taken on the sofa!

Enjoy your comfy armchair, take it easy and don't lift anything heavier than that pencil or crochet hook :) With portable electronic devices, the world is your oyster :)

Grrr. iPad not cooperating so I had to come to my desktop. Nice, tho', cause I got to see the lovely colourful crochet a bit bigger :) LOVE it, so pretty and summery. A list of 20 with 4 ticked off? Not too bad, given how you've been feeling lately. Pat yourself on the back, lady, and keep plugging away. You'll soon have them all ticked off...even as you add more to the bottom of the list LOL! I have quite a long one myself....see you Saturday!
ReplyDeleteMA
That is such a cheerful arrangement of colors in that yarn and I hope you are feeling better. ~Stacy

My Word for ths Week is 'Patience'... I'm having to practice it VERY hard with the vagaries of my internet connection *ggrrr* You need to be patient as your body heals, dear Julia... take it steady and gently...
ReplyDeleteLovely to have you back :) x
**hugs**
Morning, Julia - I hope your hooky and visiting all the desks takes away some of the frustration. You'll soon be back in the saddle, wishing for that extra hour/day so try to enjoy the forced leisure time - at least the sun is shining now, so you can relax in the garden. Take care xx
ReplyDeleteA desk is what you make it, mine is often the lawn outside so a sofa is a great desk. I am so in love the the colours of that wool. Whatever you're making will be spectacular. Hope you're feeling okay now.
ReplyDeleteVon # 28
Poor Julia , still not bouncing like Tigger! Don't push yourself too hard, let your body get the rest it needs.
ReplyDeleteJust remember that hosting this party for up to 100 crafters earns you a massive tick, there can't be anything else on your list that gives so many people so much pleasure.
Relax and Bless you
Chris #25
Take it easy and enjoy that cheery crochet - it's lovely. Well done on the 4 ticks!! x Jo
ReplyDeleteHI Julia, hope you'll soon be back to full energy and zest, but take time to completely recover, hugs Carole Z X #32
ReplyDeleteSo good to see you're resting [not so good to know you have the need though!]. At least your recovery will be as quick as nature will allow.
ReplyDeleteReally love the colour of the wool...so cheery.
Hugs.
Annie x
Glad to see you are taking things easy.
ReplyDeleteLovely yarn and the resulting crochet is looking so beautiful and cheerful.

Morning Julia- good to see you still taking it easy. Almost forgot it was Wednesday, I was just about to go to bed,lol. Huge hugs, Shaz xxx
ReplyDeleteDear Julia, I know these times very well. But your solution is wonderful, colorful and romantic.
ReplyDeleteGreetings and hugs from Erika
Loving the bright wool.
ReplyDeleteHope your mojo soon get's you motivated to get through your list.
Have a lovely WOYWW
Lovely colours on that crochet. Rest up well and get better soon, sucks to be sick
ReplyDeleteBridget #35
Glad to see you are still taking it easy, Julia. Surgery can take a long time to get over, believe me I know. I think I sat in the garden doing absolutely nothing for about a month after mine. You'll know when you're ready to face the world again.
ReplyDeleteTake care. Love that crochet wool.
Hugs Lisax #38
ah Julia you need to be kinder to yourself. After all major surgery like what you had isn't gone the next day and viola you are fixed...takes a while. Good looking crochet project you have going on. I love that yarn so bright and cheerful! Have a great day and hopefully by this time next week you will be a little further to being back in the saddle again! Vickie #40
ReplyDeleteHi Julia you are doi g the right thing! I know it's hard but you need to rest to recover properly. Loving the bright crochet you have there. Take care. Anne #39
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon Julia
ReplyDeleteAt least you have some crafting to keep you out a mischief xx
Mrs C. x
Great to have places for your scrapbooking things - I feel it can grow very fast ;) Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteJust relax Julia and take it easy, the chair looks as though that will not be difficult.
ReplyDeleteHappy crafting, Angela x #44
Love that wool - I want some for my baby blankets!
ReplyDeleteLove the badge - love desk hopping.

My eyes are playing tricks on me! I just had my nose up close to the screen trying to spot a crochet hook loo roll! Then I read it again! Doh!
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous colours you are using there :)
Glad to see you are taking it easy! That yarn is lovely! I love bright colours which you will hopefully see in next weeks post once I've done the fabric for my cushions at the weekend. You never know I might even get to sew them together!
ReplyDeleteEmma x
Welcome to my world! If your body needs to rest, let it rest. Patience is a virtue. You've heard it all before no doubt.
ReplyDeleteYour crochet looks super yummy with all the bright colours.
Happy Wednesday

It's never a waste of time if you're recharging your batteries, sometimes that's just what you need to do. Love that yarn, like a rainbow in a ball. Try to relax and take care of yourself and thanks for keeping WOYWW going through thick and thin! :o)Annie C #55
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see you are resting a bit. Crochet always makes me happy! You are working with such pretty colors! Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteGlenda #56

ReplyDeleteSometimes it's enough to just get better : ). I see it as 4 things ticked off the list, but my lists are usually long and difficult to tick off lol. Love the colours you are using. Perhaps today's unlisted theme is cheerful yarn? Hope you are feeling better soon! #51
ReplyDeleteThe wool you are using made me think of sweets like Opal fruits, lovely colours ! Pleased your doing lots of Scrapbooking, I think it's a legacy we leave our families, when we are gone it's the one thing from our 'crafty lives' they may just keep!!!!! I think when I'm not here anymore my daughter will e bay the lot and just keep the albums!!!! Lol
ReplyDeleteJackie 48
Any sort of craft is wonderful and your crochet is in such cheerful colours! You'll soon have loads of energy again and then wish you had taken the time to sit while you could ;-) xx
ReplyDeleteWell it's lovely to see you are resting up, list writing and crocheting are fabulous ways to spend your time. Be good, don't rush to get back to full on active running around mind! Take care lovely. Zo xx
ReplyDeleteYour yarn is so "springy" and, yes, cheery. Take your time, we'll wait for you! Just get well! Happy WOYWW!
ReplyDeleteCarol N #62
You sound like you are on the mend. So make the most of your invalid time. Soon the cleaning starts to magically appear as if fairies were keeping the house clean and well run!
ReplyDeleteCrochet is lovely colors so bright and happy a portend of things to come!
I love watching names on Linky as it is almost like a trip around the world!!
Monica 65
Glad to hear you got four ticks done off your list and that you're resting Julia. The crochet looks really cheering and seems a great choice whilst you're taking it easy.
ReplyDeleteLove Gillian #66
Ooh, loving the colour of your yarn ... a lot!! Glad you're resting up!! xx
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm in that kind of set of mind/body, I just have to jump in and do it. My work is not always its best during these periods, but it personally makes me feel better to be doing something. LOL! I hope you get the energy to do whatever your heart desires. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteLove the wool Julia, very cheery. I am crocheting right now with grey wool shot with silver sparkly thread..yum. Cx
ReplyDeleteJulia, you are doing great! More than what could be expected during this recovery. Your crochet makes me envious (and makes me think of the elephant story). I need to get back to trying to learn how to crochet! Sandy Leigh
ReplyDeleteOh, i love crocheting. I haven't done it in years. The colors are bright and cheering for sure, and I hope relaxing for your. Four ticks off your list! You are doing better than me! :) Happy To see that you are finding something to do in your recovery. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThat yarn is so vibrant and lovely, I am so pleased to see you are resting and not over doing it. Take care, sending cyber hugs.
ReplyDeleteEliza & Yoda
One day at a time one item at time...if they all get great if not...oh well. Enjoy the rest which is difficult I know when we are all so used to being busy busy and on the go! Take care. Hugs and Happy WOYWW! Nan G #77
ReplyDeleteOoh, love that crochet - those colours are so summery, they are the colours of childhood sweets! Glad you are mending and taking it easy.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon. Those really are gorgeous colours, and at least you are able to do a little something crafty. Take care my friend. Happy WOYWW. Caro x (#48)
ReplyDeleteTo do lists or even try to do lists are all well and good but if you don't or can't get through them it can just make you more miserable. Put it away and let your body tell you when it's ready. Love your colourful crochet. Do hope you feel well again soon Julia, take care.
ReplyDeleteHugs Lottie x
hI Julia
ReplyDeletedon't worry about the long list .... you will get to it as soon as you feel like it. Enjoy the sunshine while you can.
love the crochet
janet
Nice crochet. I love the colours.
ReplyDeleteHi Julia, happy WOYWW and thanks for visiting my desk. I'm glad to read you are taking it easy. Crocheting is allowed :-) and I love your colours Cheers and have a recuperative week RobynO#29
ReplyDeleteWelcome back. All the good energy from this group is being sent your way. Do as much or as little as you feel like doing. Don't worry about what you think you "should" be doing. It can all wait. Love the view from your new workdesk.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit and I am glad to see you are safely back home and taking things easily. I have every faith that Doug will be able to sort my computer for me, but he is taking it home so that he can do it as and when he has time and where he has everything he needs to hand. I have one more workshop, with Maria Simms, before I head down to Sussex to Barbara's Gray's two day crafting retreat. Two whole days of bliss (apart from the M25). My garden furniture has arrived and my lovely gardener has put it together for me, in addition to all the other things he has already done today. Have a good restful week. xx Maggie #60
ReplyDeleteI;ve been in that state for years! 4 ticks are a definite plus. Im loving the colors of that yarn...fell better soon.
ReplyDeleteI read your long list of "to dos" from last Friday. They quite resemble the list I have going, but I have NO excuse, except to get out of town and the heat.
ReplyDeleteRecuperating can be SO BORING, but hang in there GF It will all still be there (and probably more) when your back on your feet, at least you like to knit, and you CAN do some journaling whilst sitting in your lounger, and who needs clean windows to look out of???? LOL
Get well kid-O, but don't rush it!
I'm glad to hear you are taking some down time and healing. Enjoy that easy chair. Love the bright colors in your crochet.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're feeling better. Sometimes we need to mix it up craft wise. Keeps our ideas fresh. :-)
ReplyDeleteApril
Hi Julia, Angela back, is there a problem with leaving a comment on my blog, I noticed I seem to be the only one you have not left a comment on this week.
ReplyDeleteIf there is a problem can you let me know so I can sort it.
Happy crafting, Angela x
Just been recommended this site and I love this WOYWW, I think I'm hooked. Have uploaded mine, not much to look at though, but I'm working on it ;)
