WOYWW 202



So my ME is still being a pain (both metaphorically and literally) and I've not been able to do much of anything.  I'm at my desk for a maximum of 5 minutes at a time and even then I'm not necessarily able to concentrate due to brain fog (somewhat like have a massive cloud of midges flying around like little lunatics in your head making it hard to think, concentrate and focus...)

This morning a parcel arrived from Sprinkle of Imagination and I sat in bed and watched whilst Mum opened it...







Boy am I looking forward to playing with these new pencils!

I'm linking up at Julia's for WOYWW.  I'm going to try and visit a few desks but please don't be offended if I don't return your comments this week... Hopefully normal service will so be resumed!

  4. Do get better soon, not good when you can't play with new supplies and have someone else open the parcel for you.

    Sending health hugs your way.
    Happy WOYWW

  14. Hi Laura,

    Brain fog is hard to put up with, isn't it. I hope you get some relief soon! I could only see one of the photos and spied the beautiful butterfly paper and the pencils. Have a good play!!!

    Thank you for visiting me already. My ISP upgraded so that gave me a bit of a delay.

    Happy WOYWW

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 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

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
