TASTY


This mint lace from Crafty Ribbons is quickly becoming my go to lace.  It seems to match perfectly with every scrapbooking collection I've been playing with recently.

Ans yes, a whole 12x12 layout about cheesecake.  Cheesecake is big in my life!


I sometimes get 'full-kit-itous' and 'un-cut-sheet-wobbliness' - you know when all the goodies are so perfect that you don't know which to play with first?  And making the first cut in to a page is so hard?  All the paper on this layout is from one sheet, and I had used a large chunk of it on a secret project that can be revealed after Christmas.  When I had a pile of cut bits in front of me everything started flowing... no 'oh I can't cut this, I might need it later', no 'there's no point in cutting in to this sheet for that small amount'.  So this layout pretty much made itself and then the next one, and the one after!


I had a string of semi circles sitting on my desk that I coloured up to match using some Shimmerz, Inktense and gold acrylic paint.  (This may be my new thing!  All of the 'bits' from Cameo cut files whizzed through the sewing machine to make a string of bunting.  It makes all the little bits instantly usable, and I love the result.)

This layout is made using my Like For Ever kit- Oh So Lovely, and some Pretty Pink Posh sequins, and lace from Crafty Ribbons.

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.   ...
