WOYWW 257


Hmm... messy messy messy.  What's new?!

Well, actually, the sewing machine is new.  Mum picked it up for £8 at a car boot sale.  I can use it on paper without worrying about ruining a good machine.



Yep, I spectacularly failed at a panoramic photo.

Lots of piles of things to be a-tidied, b-finished or c-put away and I know the desk needs to be completely empty in 10 days time for a craft session with the littlies.  Quite frankly the thought of clearing it completely scares me!!  (So I shall spend the next 9 days procrastinating!!)

Thanks for stopping by my desk, I'll see you at yours :)
And a big thank you to Julia for hosting us!

    The sewing machine was a bargain.

    If need be you could just put everything into a large cardboard box:)

    What a fantastic buy, that machine! Well done, Mum, eh?! I reckon it's impossible to be a crafter and have a clear desk. No sooner is it done than you've another WIP. Just enjoy! Chris # 47 xx

    Hi Laura,

    Tidying can be fun; you might find some buried treasure! What a great deal on the sewing machine. I bought a cheapo Singer and I'm going to TRY to sew clothes -- wish me luck!

    Happy belated WOYWW
    Peace, Kay (17)

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.   ...
