Friday


If you are here for the CKC blog hop please see the post below!

Have you heard about the new lace at Crafty Ribbons?  I've been lucky enough to get my sticky glittery hands on some...


This is a layout using two colours which perfectly matched the scraps of card left over from a Christmas project I worked on with my nephew.  We made little accordion photo albums with a picture from the 12th day of each month of the first year of his life.  By 'we' I mean me, but it was his idea ;)  They are on my to share list so they should be blogged soon...


I love this little cluster.  Lace scraps, a flair from Hey Little Magpie, a plastic 'thingy' that housed the parts to make a miniature plastic aeroplane and thread.

Anyone else think the repeating lace motif looks like an eye?

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.   ...
