WOYWW 181



I didn't make it last week but I'm determined to join in again his week!  Hop over to Julia's to see a bucket load of creative desks.  Most won't be as messy as mine but hey ho!





At the moment I have enough energy for ideas but not for making said ideas, so there are lots of notebooks, lists and half-mades on my desk and bed.  It's times likes this I'm so very grateful to have a desk that is not used for other things.  I can at least keep things out so if energy arrives I can do even two minutes of crafting without having to get out and put away as well.

Thanks for stopping by...

  4. Nice busy desk, Laura. It's so nice not to have to keep puttng things away, isn't it!

    Thanks for your lovely comment. Ha ha! 1.57 a.m. - the night is still young, my dear! I'm often up till 4 a.m. It's definitely an M.E. thing. This morning I didn't get up till noon. It doesn't really matter because the length of my day is the same as everyone else's - it's just in a different time zone - I often think I should emigrate to America and then I'd be back in sync again!

    Happy WOYWW,
    Shoshi

    1. Haha!! I'm not the tidiest of people especailly with glue. The baby powder makes sticky things unsticky so I use it on my fingers, work surface, scrap pages etc.

  9. Hi there! Pleased to see you on WOYWW. I joined last week so this is the first time I have seen you. I am the same at the mo - lots of ideas but not enough time to do them! Have a great weekend. Happy WOYWW Laura #51

  10. Oh I hate that when the time, energy and ideas don't all line up at once! Like you said though, how nice you have a desk that you can just leave it sprawled out on so you can work on things when the timing is right. I feel for those people who craft at the dining tables--if that were me there would be lots of picnics on the floor!!!!

    1. The drawers are full of 100's of buttons, Shaz.
      Red handle = red buttons, silver handle = metal buttons, no handles = erm... haven't got around to sorting those boxes yet!! ;)

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
