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.

  1. I think we all have times when Mojo goes on holiday. Hope yours comes back with his batteries recharged really soon.
    Have a fun week Laura.

  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,

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

A Poe Quote

So I've been trying out art journalling for a while but had nothing that I wanted to share, until now. I was inspired by The Bears Challenge and picked this quote to base my page on. "If you wish to forget anything on the spot, make a note that this thing is to be remembered" I got some paints out, some spray mists too.  I used my fan brush, my fingers and a cotton rag.  I got messy, satisfyingly messy :) The letters are some old letraset vinyls that were my Aunt's.  When we cleared my Grandparents house I couldn't stand the art goodies to go to waste.  I saved them because I knew one day I would find a use for them.  They must be 40 years old but are still perfect.  (I sometimes look at things I get today and think they won't still be good in 5 years let alone 40!) I don't have the complete alphabet so there are some adaptations... c's became o's, E's became t's, w's became m's.  I magicked a k from a P!  Some
