OH What a Mess I Make......

...when I'm trying to create.  I started out with 3 bags of worms from which I'd pull red, yellow and blue.  But also cut some yellow and red wool which is mostly used.  The work area started out nice and neat.

Then ended up with a pile on my right arm rest and a nest of mixed colors tangled to my left.  

Obviously they ended up getting knotted so decided to get organized again in the photo below.  That handy wicker basket was found at a local thrift store for a couple bucks.  It works well when it is used but the chaos still happens regardless.  Start out tidy and will end up with another rat's nest before the rug is done.

Think I'll move to the center of the rug and concentrate on that and work outward.  Actually, I normally start my rugs at the center motif.  But this time decided to work on a small area in the corner to try to get the colors right before going to the big kahuna.

Guess you noticed my heating pad in the background.  I am still having sciatic and back pain.  An appointment has been made with an orthopedic surgeon for an MRI to diagnose my problem.   I don't want back surgery but want to know what my options would be ~ chiropractic, acupuncture?  I've never had acupuncture before but would try that before surgery or pain meds.
