Page Marker




Hi Guys,  I’m back with another DT piece for Crafty Ribbons Challenges.  This fortnight’s theme is flowers picked by Carol.

I’ve made a page marker for my planner...



It's a folded rose - instructions here - that my Nanny taught me how to make when I was a child.  She is a brilliant seamstress and made me a lot of pretty dresses, most of them had a folded ribbon rose on them.


I sew the ends together, and pass a tiny stitch through the rose to keep it together firmly.  I added a pair of leaves, and glued them to a paper clip covering the back with a small piece of mint ribbon to hide all the gubbins.



I have used: 
Organza Swiss Dot 
the reverse side of Carry Yarn in mint 
both from Crafty Ribbons.


As well as: 
an arrow paperclip from my stash.

I hope you can join us at  Crafty Ribbons Challenges this fortnight!

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.   ...
