My Sob Story...



Hmm... I started a recent post with I bet loads of you think I'm daft with the things I scrap book.  Well, continuing that theme...
 


 
I bring you a layout detailing the end of an era...
 
 
 
about My Vans.  Read the story...



It needed to be told!  I loved my vans but when I slid across the carpet by accident I knew it was time for them to go.  Still I got my moneys worth as they were 12 years old!




A few details...

I used matte medium and a stencil, a shoelace, washi tap and pink staples. 
I then decided to try and make my own enamel dots with paint and glossy accents.  Not brilliant but I'm glad I tried. 
The alphas are Heidi Swapp.
That's it I think.

  3. I hate it when a favourite comfortable shoe has to be assigned to the bin.

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 letā€™s face it J you wouldnā€™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.   ...
