All Things B...




I have a layout with out photos today.  I got my inspiration from the challenge at SJ papercrafts which is to make something based on this board...


I used it like a sketch, included some watercolour painting and was guided by the colour palette too.


I was thinking about the name of my blog and what other names I could have used. It led me to a huge long list of loves in my life, current or in the past, that begin with B... so I documented them :)


I'm quite pleased with how it all turned out except for the colour of the blossom watercolour painting.  I just could not mix the peach colour that I wanted!

Thanks for stopping by!

p.s. I have a giveaway running... see the previous 3 posts

    Love your interpretation of the challenge! I have been wanting to make an A to Z book of the things I love and this just reminded me of it :)

    This is so beautiful, I really love your scattering of buttons and butterflies! This made me smile though, as I have a problem with words beginning with 'b' I always get them mixed up and say the wrong word! Especially town names like Bournemouth, Bristol, Bath... I have to be carefully to tell people to meet me at the right place! Thank you for joining in the SJ Crafts April challenge! x

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...

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.   ...
