WOYWW 152



Welcome to my workspace this wonderful Wednesday!

Yesterday I received a parcel from Ronda Palazzari - a mini album kit I won from her blog.  All laid out on trays as the desk is busy!





I was amazed to see how many goodies were in the pack.  Looking forward to starting work...





...but not until I've made some ATC's.  I have tentatively made a start on a few.  I'm going to try and use the techniques I use the most in my crafting and cram the in to 2 1/2 x 3 1/2.  I think that's the idea anyway!





That's all from me this week.  Going back to Julia's now to have a nose at some more desks!

p.s.  finding it very ironic that the spellchecker in Blogger does not recognise the word blog!!

    Yes, I've had a "huh?" moments with spellchecker quite a lot recently.

    I think you're absolutely right with your thoughts on what to do with your ATC ;)

    What a gorgeous prize win too, congrats :)

    Thanks for stopping by mine, the mouse mat was purchased on my last trip to Scotland. A little piece of it to stop me feeling so 'homesick'. Even though I'm English - I swear my heart is Scottish! ;)

    Congrats on the win! Lots of fun things to play with. I only just recently started making ATCs and am finding them quite fun. I like the small size. How funny that blogger doesn't recognize blog!! hee hee That gave me a good laugh.

    Thanks for visiting me already today!

    Looks like you've got a lot to keep you busy! I have a hard time with the size of ATCs mostly because I like to use a lot of stuff! lol

    Wonderful goodies... it is always worth buying a kit as you get such alovely mix of things that we wouldn't choose ourselves. Always pushes me out of the comfort zone.

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
