WOYWW 213


Hello there Desky peeps!

I'm back from my secret mission (or holiday!) and boy did I miss my desk.  Energy levels have been (in comparison to my normal levels) OK since my return and I have been able to sit at my desk and play a little.  I have lots of half finished projects on the go - I really need to finish these before I start anything else. 



One thing that is finished is this beading kit I took away.  It's by Pandorian and I'm quite chuffed as there are enough beads left to make another 3 butterflies - I've made one extra already.


 
 
And in the edition of Featuring that Queen of desks Julia was in...  I was on the back...  My first piece of published work :)




Thanks for stopping by... I hope to make it to as many desks as possible today :)

  1. I got my copy of Featuring today, I'll have to have a close look at your piece, congratulations on your publishing. That necklace is gorgeous. Those butterflies must have taken a lot of work.
    Have a great week.

  2. That necklace is so pretty, it must have taken ages to do. That is another hobby I would like to try. Thank you for your visit. Nobody wanted the bees because they were bumble bees and not honey bees. Apparently, bumble bees do not relocate successfully and if you need them moved urgently, as I did, there is no alternative to the hard choice of getting in the pest people. I hated to do it but I do need the roof done very urgently and cannot wait until the autumn. Have a good week. xx Maggie #3

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
