WOYWW and Other Stuff!



My desk today...


It's a little chaotic.  There are at least 6 things started but not finished.  I'm having trouble concentrating and focusing on one thing.  Add in to that mix a little nephew who arrived this morning telling me, "I got Panda.  He's not feeling well."  Teething perhaps... Nephew, not Panda!  I guess the desk will stay chaotic for the rest of the day.


Loving my temporary rainbow of threads on the shelf... any excuse for supplies arranged in rainbow order :D

    chaos? Where? Love the display of thread too, instant happiness. This is such a nice, warm community, love being part of it. Luckily we have the internet because visiting in person would be difficult and expensive. Happy WOYWW Vicky #3

    Love the colour-coordinated threads above your desk and your washi tape collection! Someone might have a slight crush on washi tapes me thinks! :) I know the feeling when you want to do everything at the same time! I have the patience of a squirrel, so I tend to work on projects very quickly, just so I can move on to the next one! Happy WOYWW! zsuzsa #34

    Have to admit, I'm a bit jealous of those threads! Also, your desk looks very organised compared to mine!!

    Oh I love that rainbow of cotton reels. I try so hard to be sophisticated in my colour choices, but in the end, I always come back to brights. So cheerful! You clearly are busy, you're making a collection of water bottles!

    Hi Laura, Hope your nephew soon perked up.

    I love the cotton reels. I think you need to put something along the shelf so you can display them there.

    Happy WOYWW

WOYWW 159

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 up in the corresponding g

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.   At each stop on the hop there'll be a word to collect and a candy draw. I've got these

WOYWW & Card Deck Swap

First up is my desk ... Hmm.  Perhaps the less said the better!  I really should have a sort out but I fancy desking instead! Next I want to share my card deck swaps (deskers don't have to stay for this bit but I reckon you'd enjoy joining in with us, which is why I'm including it in this post) You can read about the swap here on Jessica's blog and sign up here .  Basically, we take a deck of cards, add paint and/or paper, then add a positive sentiment to each card.  Post them to Jessica who shuffles them and sends back 52 different cards from different artists (yes, you are an artist!) from all over the world. These few are ones I have picked out to display first.  I'll swap them round after a few weeks.  Do you like my domino pegs?  :) Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you'll at least consider joining us for the card swap - it's like a super sized ATC swap, and all WOYWW er's know they are fun! See you at your desk x
