WOYWW 286


Well, the last desks of November as Julia tells us.  Nothing Christmassy on mine at all this week...


I'm finishing off my card deck today.  Sticking my details on the back of each card.  It is a drag but it is better than handwriting your name 55 times.  By the end of that task I was convinced I was spelling my own name wrong!  Note the little ring of talc on the side of the work surface; I am incapable of using glue without getting it all over my fingers/hands/elbows and the talc un-stickies the stickiness so I don't leave gluey fingerprints over everything!


When that is done I have 3 albums worth of 12x12 layouts (the bear box is full!!) to put back in their albums.  Yesterday we got them all out and I sorted them in date order according to the photos.  Perhaps this is why some people like to scrap chronologically?!
 
See you at your desk!

  2. My pages are also in a box...for no other reason than I have not gotten round to filing them...I also have been working out of order. Was much better when I kept up to date, now I am about 4 years behind I think...#3

  3. Good luck with getting all the photos in order Laura. I'm like you I tend to get glue everywhere & then it's always ends up on something it shouldn't . Happy woyww Jill #10

  4. What is the card deck for? I was looking at your older posts but couldn't find anything about it. (I'm just hoping for a good idea, as I've just got a deck of cards, that's why I'm asking!) Great tip with the talcum powder! Why didn't I think of that the other day when I had spray glue all over my fingers! Happy WOYWW! zsuzsa @ InkyDinkyDoodle #41

  6. I'm fascinated by your card deck. They look lovely. What are you going to do with them?
    That is a good tip about the talc. Talc is difficult to find nowadays but I think I'll make the effort to find some because it sounds like a good idea for sticky fingers!
    Thanks for letting me look over your shoulder,
    Have a good week,

  8. The card deck is a great idea but what a job to do them all. I'm glad someone else is as bad with glue as me. I tend to get it everywhere but where I want it.
    Have a great week.

  9. well how fascinating today Laura...well actually, it's Saturday, I'm slow this week! The little ring of talc is such a good idea. But then I'm so self absorbed that I wouldn't have a problem signing my name that many times!! It'll be a fab swap, how exciting! I don't scrapbook or store chronologically......that says a lot about my state of mind I think!

WOYWW 159

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 up in the corresponding g

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.   At each stop on the hop there'll be a word to collect and a candy draw. I've got these

WOYWW & Card Deck Swap

First up is my desk ... Hmm.  Perhaps the less said the better!  I really should have a sort out but I fancy desking instead! Next I want to share my card deck swaps (deskers don't have to stay for this bit but I reckon you'd enjoy joining in with us, which is why I'm including it in this post) You can read about the swap here on Jessica's blog and sign up here .  Basically, we take a deck of cards, add paint and/or paper, then add a positive sentiment to each card.  Post them to Jessica who shuffles them and sends back 52 different cards from different artists (yes, you are an artist!) from all over the world. These few are ones I have picked out to display first.  I'll swap them round after a few weeks.  Do you like my domino pegs?  :) Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you'll at least consider joining us for the card swap - it's like a super sized ATC swap, and all WOYWW er's know they are fun! See you at your desk x
