WOYWW 234


I'm back!  (Ha! Take that M.E. - you won't hold me down!)  And it's Wednesday so I get to look around tons of desks for inspiration :)

Here is what mine looks like:


A gelli print ready to be torn up and collaged.

The down side of being out of action for so long is there are four lists of things to do...


One of the things on one of the lists is to sort and display/put away these little bits of crochet my Mum has made.  She comes to show me a new pattern she has mastered and I nick it for scrapbooking!  Perfect embellishments!

If you leave your WOYWW linky I'll be sure to visit you :)

    So sorry to hear you've had ME, poor you; but it's great that you've vanquished it and that you're back in circulation! What gorgeous crochet your mum did - yes, perfect for embellishments! And that gelli print looks really pretty - lovely colour. Thanks for visiting me earlier. It was lovely to have you drop by. Happy WoYWW! Julie Ann xx #55

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.   ...
