Advent - Day 7


Day seven already.  Seven doors opened on the advent calendar, seven chocolates eaten, blown the advent candle out seven times.  I love this time of year.  :)

For today's Crafty Ribbons advent make I have something a little quirky...


I've made a bottle of Christmas Cheer.  It's along the lines of a snow globe...  I filled the bottle with water, glycerin, mica powder, glitter and sequins.


I can tell you, it's so satisfying waiting for it all to settle and then shaking it up again...

I've added a tag with my beloved 3mm ribbon and a touch of lace.


We'd love for you to hop over to the Crafty Ribbons Inspiration site and join in with our Advent celebrations!

    Love this idea. I've always had a thing for snow Globes and yet never had one.

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.   ...
