Oi! They are mine!!

 
I've been playing with Christmas ribbons from Crafty Ribbons.  You know when you just sit there touching them, running them through your fingers, twisting and pleating in different ways to encourage ideas?
 
Suddenly my small green friend flew over...
 
 
 
Billy wanted to play too!  She had a good old beak around and then claimed them as her own.
 

 
 
 
Here she is sitting on my knee surrounded by 'her' ribbons.
 
What a pickle!!
 
Thanks for stopping by!

  4. Oh how sweet...mind you, if I were there, Billy and I would be fighting over the ribbon!!!
    Popped by to say yes, the Dymo. A nine and the coloured tapes for the Artemio machine that I show on my blog today are the same width...so I see no reason why you couldn't use one in the other!

  5. Awww Laura... how adorable! Just look at her expression in the second photo: "I'm the Queen of the Castle!!" Woe betide you if you tried to take the ribbons off her! Our kitties would "help" me in my ARTHaven, too, given half a chance! Generally, they are banned, because Beatrice is so nosy, and pulls everything out, and tends to chew things.

    Thanks for your nice comment - ah, rulers! Some people manage to use just one, but I have 3 in regular use, and then I've got my 3 Perfect Layers ones, and six rulers on one's desk do tend to take on a life of their own! I've tried them upright in a pot and they kept getting knocked over. I'll let you know how I get on with the gutter storage system once I've made 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.   ...
