WOYWW #149

My desk looks the same as it did last week!




Piles of stuff with a little space in the middle hollowed out for working in.

Look at that yellow sponge with dried paint on it - ruined!  Tut tut, Laura, tut tut!

Still a little stack of washi tape - unused as I don't really know what to do with it.

But it's not all bad.  The pack of chipboard shapes that have been out waiting to be used have been used.

Bizarrely there is still some chocolate left from a week or two back... not sure how that happened!!

I'm planning a big ol' tidy after completing the layout that I'm currently halfway through.  'Planning' a tidy and 'doing' a tidy are different things you understand!

If you are wondering why I'm showing you my desk hop over to Julia's.  I'm off for a snoop now, I didn't get round many desks last week.

  2. Hi Laura your desk looks great & I popped over to see what you had done with the chipboard shapes. The layout is absolutely gorgeous, it has encourage me to rethink a wedding layout as I thought that would be too many flowers. But it's not. Thank you for the inspiration.

  6. I had a good laugh about your statement that planning a tidy and doing a tidy are two entirely separate things. Indeed. I like how the drawer is left pulled open for easy access to what is inside. I always push my drawers shut as I had a cat who would jump up onto the open drawer and on my lighter cabinets, the would then come crashing down. The cat passed over a year ago but I am still well-trained at closing up drawers. I never know what to do with Washi tape either. I try to think of it like a strip of plain or patterned paper but since it is sort of translucent, it doesn't work out that way. I like what other people do with it though.

  7. I love your bright white wall...it looks fresh and like it would really free your mind up to get seriously creative! I really like how wide your desk is and the little pull-out shelf...I had to install one on mine, but its awesome for putting away a work in progress when you get stumped or whatnot, huh? Take care!

WOYWW 159

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead up in the corresponding g

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   At each stop on the hop there'll be a word to collect and a candy draw. I've got these

WOYWW & Card Deck Swap

First up is my desk ... Hmm.  Perhaps the less said the better!  I really should have a sort out but I fancy desking instead! Next I want to share my card deck swaps (deskers don't have to stay for this bit but I reckon you'd enjoy joining in with us, which is why I'm including it in this post) You can read about the swap here on Jessica's blog and sign up here .  Basically, we take a deck of cards, add paint and/or paper, then add a positive sentiment to each card.  Post them to Jessica who shuffles them and sends back 52 different cards from different artists (yes, you are an artist!) from all over the world. These few are ones I have picked out to display first.  I'll swap them round after a few weeks.  Do you like my domino pegs?  :) Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you'll at least consider joining us for the card swap - it's like a super sized ATC swap, and all WOYWW er's know they are fun! See you at your desk x
