WOYWW


I haven't 'got very much thinking' over the last few days so my desk is rather full of half-done unfinished bits and bobs.  It happens with the M.E. sometimes, hopefully it'll clear soon. 

 
And bang smack in the middle of the work surface is a parcel that arrived today.  (Things That Shine if you are interested.)  I was posted in December, full of Christmas goodies, which I won't share today as some of you are allergic to the C word at this time of year!  :)

There is a lot of wide eyed sitting and staring going on, but I aim to grab the few titbits of energy that come my way and pop over look at your desks.

  3. What a great desk, Laura. C things!! I'm not allergic to that - only to fruit! Those fantastic piles of tapes - love the storage of them all - and is that a photo of jars of marmalade???
    Take care. God bless.

  7. Ok so why has this parcel taken so long to get to you? This is one thing I am proud to say I am NOT ALLERGIC TOO I love Christmas all year round and Christmas isn't long enough for me. I have a friend who would agree with me too. Share what's in the parcel please.

    1. It came from Canada to the UK - maybe it stopped off for a holiday on it's way?! I'll be sure to share the contents next Wednesday x

  8. Hi, Laura, your desk looks full of possibilities. I like your layout in another post, with the star-printed acetate. I love the look of them, but could never think how to use them (other than cool pages in minibooks, maybe.) But I like the subtle white & clear on the white cardstock. I sometimes like having things in progress sitting out. Even if you do just stare at a few minutes here and there, sometimes the next step will pop into mind. Happy WOYWW and thanks for your visit! ~ Laura #53

  9. I love your desk! I can see some scrapbook pages in the making and a photo of marmalade or jam just waiting to be scrapped. I also like you tool block and the way you store your washi tape. I'm getting so many tapes I should be thinking of where to store them now.
    Thanks for visiting earlier in the week.
    Have a great weekend and CU Wednesday,

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

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

DMIO: Teach Me Something

A few weeks back I made a dream catcher.  A few readers asked if I could show them how I made it, so, here is my attempt at a tutorial! First up weaving the web. 1. You'll need a hoop and some ribbon/thread/yarn on a bobbin. 2. Attach the ribbon securely to your hoop. 3. Take your ribbon over the top of the hoop... 4. and up through the loop you've just made with the ribbon... 5. so you have a cross over. 6. Continue steps 3-5 until you reach the knot. 7. Now instead of going over the hoop you will crossover the ribbon 8. and through the loop you've just made to give a crossover. Continue on in this fashion until you get to the middle. You need to leave a hole in the middle as this is where the good dreams get through!  They then run down the tassels/feathers/any other hanging decoration and on to the owner.  It should look something like this.  You'll need to play around with your tension until you get a firm web. Now for the tassels - I like to
