Woop Woop! WOYWW 208!



 
 
Here we are - 4 year anniversary.  I've not been joining in that long but since I've found Julia and WOYWW I've had huge enjoyment in joining in and snooping other peoples desks!  I want to say thank you to Julia for hosting - you are pretty awesome!  :)
 



Here is this weeks unloved desk.  Life and a lack of energy have kept us apart for a few days.  The washi is in the wrong order, the button boxes are wonky, the dictionary is the wrong way up, and there is a birthday bag plonked haphazardly on the cutting mat.  (Had a fab birthday - full of sunshine and cake!)  You might also spot a couple of ATC envelopes... One for the person above me on the list and one for the person below.  I would love to have made more but hey that's life.  I have already swapped one with Twiglet/Jo and hers is gorgeous!  I'll share it next week as I haven't taken a photo yet...

Again thanks to Julia for hosting and thanks to everyone who stops by and comments :)

Happy Birthday WOYWW x

  1. Hi, Laura. Happy WOYWW. I will be sending you my final ATC for the swap. Will email you with my snail mail address now. Lovely bright colours around your desk. Would love to see more of your buttons - my small collection lives in a jar. Ali x #93

  3. Hi Lovely Laura!! I really did smile when I opened my envelope - thanks so much. I have a real thing about robins so your card was just perfect for me and a stunning photo. The little ATC is beautiful - so many clever WOYWWers out there!!! Happy WOYWW4 x Jo

  6. I wouldn't say unloved!!! I think it looks well-cared for! Happy WOYWW, and thanks for stopping by...knowing another flautist is out there, watching to see if it gets moved, will force me to play during the summer! Well, that, and how hysterically funny my husky is when I play...always a cheerful event!

  17. Happy birthday and 4th anniversary all rolled into one. Life seems to get in the way of art a lot doesn't it, drives me nuts too. Your desk looks very loved to me.
    Have a great week.

  18. Oh, Laura, your poor wonky unloved desk! You must try and rectify that situation this coming week and not let that nasty ol' life keep you from the fun!! Thank you so much for coming by the Playhouse earlier! I am glad to return the flavor - I think this is my first time here! Happy WOYWW 4th Anniversary! Darnell #34

  19. That's a pretty tidy desk. it doesn't look too unloved to me. I love the little button boxes. mine are all together in a big box but i love sorting through them, just like I did with mum's button box when I was a child!
    Glad you had some sunshine for your birthday. Happy WOYWW Anniversary. Kate x #44

  20. I know I’m a day late but I’m trying to make it around everyone this week.
    It’s going to take some time, but I wanted to say that it’s amazing that the internet can bring together so many likeminded people and I’m grateful that WOYWW has also brought along so many new friends, thanks to Julia.

    Well, that looks like it’s been a very busy table to me Laura. Glad you had sunshine on your birthday, we don’t seem to be seeing very much of it at the moment.

    Enjoy your weekly snoop, especially as we’re celebrating WOYWW’s 4th Anniversary.
    Happy Crafting!

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

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

DMIO: Teach Me Something

A few weeks back I made a dream catcher.  A few readers asked if I could show them how I made it, so, here is my attempt at a tutorial! First up weaving the web. 1. You'll need a hoop and some ribbon/thread/yarn on a bobbin. 2. Attach the ribbon securely to your hoop. 3. Take your ribbon over the top of the hoop... 4. and up through the loop you've just made with the ribbon... 5. so you have a cross over. 6. Continue steps 3-5 until you reach the knot. 7. Now instead of going over the hoop you will crossover the ribbon 8. and through the loop you've just made to give a crossover. Continue on in this fashion until you get to the middle. You need to leave a hole in the middle as this is where the good dreams get through!  They then run down the tassels/feathers/any other hanging decoration and on to the owner.  It should look something like this.  You'll need to play around with your tension until you get a firm web. Now for the tassels - I like to
