7 & 10



"What's that?" She asked inquisitively.
"They are ATC's"  I replied. 
And so a crafting session began...


We had two cousinlets stay for the night, 7 and 10. 
7 happily made a scrapbook page and carefully filed it away. 
10 wasn't in the mood...
She was fascinated by my brothers old vintage computer game. 
My brother and I at 29 & 27 are only 20 years older but boy! have computer games changed in that time!! 




This little hand held Nintendo Donkey Kong game only plays one game in which you are a monkey jumping over crocodiles and ducking under flying crows doesn't compare too well to the DS's that have multiple games and cameras and wi-fi and goodness knows what else! 
Anyway 10 wandered off while 7 and I scrapped...

Later when 7 had gone downstairs 10 came up and asked about my pile of WOYWW ATC's.
I explained as best as I could and we had a go at making an ATC each.
I used my new neon washi tape that arrived the day before...




but you don't want to see mine...
10's is amazing! 




Her design, her choice of materials, the only thing I helped with was making the bow and even that was her idea.

 
I love crafting with my girls.  When 10 was a toddler she would sit on my lap at my desk and play with pots of 'pretties',  embellishments, buttons, toppers, she loved them all. 

10 was keen that I shared her ATC with you all.   Really I should offer it as a swap but truthfully I don't think I can bear to part with it!!

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 u...

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.   ...
