Friday Smiles

 

I didn't turn the computer on until after lunch!  I know I'm trying to spend less time on it but even I didn't think I would ever not switch it on until after lunch!! 

I spent some time with my Nan this morning, which always makes me smile.

Ali is running a jewellery week next week, which is making me smile.



And when we arrived back from holiday Gramps' rose was in full bloom  :)  which made me smile all over my face.  Lovely man, I miss him.





Linking up at Friday Smiles - a place to share stories, jokes, photos -  anything that makes you smile.

    I am trying cut my hours on the computer down too, as I tend to stiffen up and then bits ache and ankles swell....but it has to go on as I wake up with a coffee...well thats my excuse ....I think I need to have a timer by my side though.xx

    Beautiful rose! When I lived in UK I had a Peace rose in my garden for my Mum. It meant such a lot to see it bloom. Kate x

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...

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.   ...
