WOYWW 190



Hello WOYWWers!  (If you are thinking 'eh?!' pop over to Julia's for all the details...)
Well so far this week has been  v e r y   s l o w.  I doesn't make much sense but then ME rarely does! 




I have been working in 10 minute chunks on an altered deck of cards for a swap.  There has been lots of layering so there have been plenty of rests while paint dries.  The perfect project for picking up and putting down as and when.  And I'm pleased with how it is going too, which always helps! 




My sale parcel arrived from Crafty Ribbons yesterday...  yes I know... I need to grow up... but it was fun!




Other than that I've just been hanging out with this little beauty.  I'm itching to make a page in the second week of The Craft Barn dictionary challenge so hopefully today I can make a start.

Thanks for stopping by
:)

    Such a pretty bird. And your craft ribbon face made me smile. It's always good to have projects that we can do in the stolen moments of time. Glad you're liking them. Happy WOYWW! LisaDV #116

    Altering playing cards sounds fun, and bite-sized projects are always good when you can't spend days and days at your desk.
    What a beautiful bird! =)

    Happy Wednesday!

    I got my Sale package the other day & I was so excited it was silly, haha. I do love a bit of ribbon. I love your idea of altering a deck of cards. I look forward to seeing the progress. I'm doing the altered dictionary challenge over at the Craft Barn too. Hope to see you there :0) Mo

    What a pretty bird! Both of your challenges sound really cool. I'm so dense that I didn't see the face in your pile of ribbon until I noticed someone's comment to that effect. Hope you're having a good day! Happy WOYWW from Laura #119

    Spped doesn't matter, just so long as long as you enjoy the doing. And if the doing produces something you're pleased with - hell, what a bonus!! The ribbon is deeeeeeelicious, do you have aplan or is it just for stock?!

    I can empathize with the CFS/ME and how it affects your life. I was diagnosed fibromyalgia CFS/ME a couple years ago and I am still learning how to handle good and bad days! Beautiful bird! Thanks for sharing and have a great crafty week! Vickie #35

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.   ...
