WOYWW 206



Welcome to WOYWW and you are in for a surprise today... my desk is tidy!




Well, it's Laura-tidy, not normal-person-tidy.  It's not completely clear but I maintain that I need stuff out on top so it is within easy reach.

Hopefully by the end of the day it won't be so tidy!!  :)  :)

I have some new washi...




And I won some candy too...




And I did a little crafting with my favourite 11 year old.  Actually she doesn't need any help anymore so I just watched her craft with stuff from my stash.  Love her to bits :)




Not much planned for today.  Just resting and cleaning out this little monkey...




As usual I will visit and comment on as many desks as my health allows
Have a fab week...

    1. Sue, you always say that! I'm going to send you some as I'm beginning to think you will never actually buy any... but I won't be held responsible if it leads to an empty purse (like mine!) Washi is addictive!

    The pattern I was using was a Tutorial on a ladies' Blog but I can't find it now. This guy's ones are slightly better and easier than I was doing, so I may well change to those :-D LoL


    The curl up one is part of this pattern for Spring Bunny;

    I hope you get some :-)

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
