Friday Smiles


Good ol' predictable Laura!  It'll either be a photo of a rainbow or a flower, most probably an orchid...


They make me smile!  Especially this one which is home grown and opened slowly yesterday.

Linking up at Friday Smiles!

    Well Laura, you may be predictable, but you are also a SUPER incredible photographer. This orchid really made me smile. And to think you grew it yourself is cause to smile, too. Happy Friday Smiles.

    Beautiful flower. I see a blue orchid that is for sale locally and I often think I should buy it but am rubbish with flowers so rather look at it in the store than risk killing it at home! Take care Zo xx

    Oh my! these are my absolute favourite flowers. Your photograph makes me smile lots. The first time I brought one back into flower I thought I'd really made it. I nearly wept when the lady across the road told me she throws them out when the flowers die off! can you believe it. I have asked her to pass them onto me and I will make them flower again. Happy Friday, Angela x

    I lurve orchids so I never tire of seeing them. Such a lovely colour too.
    I have a few in my kitchen, though the books say they shouldn't like it. They obviously have not read the book!! Haa Haa!!
    Thank you for your visit. I wasn't sure whether to put it on my blog, but your comment made it all worthwhile. Please do take all the photos you can get away with!!
    Hugs

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.   ...
