Secret Santa Show and Tell



Secret Santa.  Blooming brilliant things to be a part of!  I was involved in two online Secret Santas, one run by Carmen and one by That Craft Place.

Here is my haul from Santa Suzie...


Whilst opening these I was asked, "How does she know you so well?" by my Pet Crocheter.  It was amazing, everything was spot on - so very me.

and here is my haul from Santa Virginia via Carmen...


Tons of stash!  And Virginia included this beautiful hand made mini album.  To be honest it is so awesome it needs a post all of it's own, which will follow when I can dedicate it the time it deserves!


Brilliant!  Thank you That Craft Place, Suzie, Carmen and Virginia!

You can read about what I sent (in Carmen's swap) to K on her blog here. x

      Carmen, it's a memory box texture designer stencil - smash. It has a good thickness and sturdiness about it (I ruin thin ones very easily!) but I'm yet to try it with paints and inks. x

    I had Virginia as my Secret Santa last year, I'd always thought her mini albums were gorgeous but when you see them in real life .... mind blown.

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.   ...
