DMIO: Favourite Books


This is a Do More In October post... more details on Fab's blog.

I am not much of a reader.
I don't read fiction books at all.
Nor do I watch movies.
(I 'll happily watch quiz shows, sports, documentaries...)


My favourite books are:

The Oxford Dictionary of English.  I love to look up the origins of words, and discovering new 'quirky' words.  Kerf?  Why, that is the indent or notch made with a saw to mark where to cut.  Twitten?  A narrow path or passageway.

Raptors of The World... or pretty much any other bird book!  I am a bit of an ornithologist, I don't retain tonnes of information but that is fine because I get to learn it again!

The Bible NCV.  It feels right to give this book a mention, I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I find it quite useful :)

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.   ...
