Hi Deskers!

On my desk today is what can only be described as chaos – not even ‘organised chaos’ whatever that is!  The good thing about this photo is that you can’t see the floor!!


But for something you can actually see...

 
I didn’t buy my brother and sister-in-law a Christmas present.  I intended to but he bought her everything she wanted (aww!) and I didn’t want to get stuff for the sake of stuff, you know?  I pulled out my watercolour paper a few days before the big day and made them a customised painting.

Thanks for looking, see you at your desk!

    I can understand chaos cos that's what I had yesterday but even though all my desks are now cleared I've still not found my mojo so hope he will come out of hiding really soon. Love your painting...what a special gift.
    Here's to many happy creative times in 2016.
    Hugs,

    The customised painting is always a good fallback for folk who have everything - I too did one this year in a similar vein but it was of a dog. Have good week x. Jackie 26

    I had planned to visit sooner, but not long after I linked to Julia, my electricity went off. It came back on a short time ago, so now I'm trying to catch up with everyone. Now THAT is real chaos.

    To me, that is the most thoughtful gift you could have given your brother and SIL. It is not only stunning, it is from the heart. Happy WOYWW on Thursday from #1.

    Wow, what a treasure of a gift, how lovely, I really like the Negative look. Aw, what a cutie he is! Not entirely sure that your desk is untidy as you think ! It's all in the eye of the beholder!

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.   ...
