WOYWW 185

 
 
 Here is my desk for this weeks WOYWW...
 
 
 
 
Lots of stuff but not much of anything in particular.  Under the ink pad is a half done project.  I was thinking when I started it would be a DT piece in which case you wouldn't be able to see it but now I think I've changed my mind and I'm just not sure it's good enough to be seen!  Ever have things turn out not like you planned?!
 
I might leave it for today and make a Christmas ATC for Miss 10 instead.
 
 
 
I hope Julia doesn't mind me tagging this in to my WOYWW post...
 


Please pop over to Damask Love to read about a great campaign to help those effected by the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary.  They are raising art kits for the kids who were caught up in the awful situation - accepting US $ donations, new supplies and handmade cards to accompany the kits.

    Thanks for your visit, Laura, and for your Get Well wishes for the Rev. Ernest Bear! As soon as I get round to doing him, he'll soon be on the mend! As for overdoing it, most of the time I'm OK with pacing, but once I get the bit between my teeth I tend to push through and ignore what my body is shrieking at me - even though I know it will get its revenge within a couple of days! Sometimes I just get fed up with not being able to get on with things like other people do!!

    You've got a nice busy desk this week, and I love the colours of those ink pads.

    Happy WOYWW,

    Hi Laura,

    I'm sure the project you're hiding will turn out just fine. Sometimes it's just best to "put it down and walk away" for a while. Tee hee.

    I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas!

    Happy WOYWW
    Hugs,

    Laura, girl, you know you can show ANYTHING here. We don't allow such talk as "not good enough!" Please! Thank you for sharing the damasklove link! What a wonderful thing at a time when we all feel so helpless.

    Thanks for coming by the Playhouse! Best wishes to you for a happy Christmas and a very merry New Year! Darnell #32

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.   ...
