hello


I have finally broken in to my new like for ever kit, hooray!  It has taken a while as my body has been demanding sleep for the last week!  I also have a big project, well it's not big as such, just time consuming... and that has had all of my energy.  I took a break from that whilst the glue was drying and had a rummage through the kit.  It is very girly but I managed to pick out bits that weren't pink to make this for my gorgeous nephew's album.


I've used the kit, add on vellum and enamel hearts, and some sequins from my stash.  I was tempted to be all precious with the vellum - it is lush!  But what is the point of having it if you don't use it?!


The photo sits on quite a tight cluster including bits from the ephemera pack, tissue paper that the kit comes wrapped in along with the vellum and patterned papers.


I followed a sketch from Let's Get Sketchy and was hooked on the wonky squares around the layout.  I used three different coloured threads and offset them like the sketch showed.  I love this effect and reckon I'll be using it again soon!


 Thanks for stopping by today!

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.   ...
