WOYWW 264




Today's WOYWW post seems to be sponsored by pollen.  My hay fever is driving me nuts, I'd quite like to stick a bottle brush down my throat to ease the itching. 

So as you can see the desk is mayhem...


Here it is slightly less mayhemic.  (It should be a word!)  Cards to finish for a friend, strips to stick in to my art journal, two tombows on the go because I lost one and then found it as soon as I'd opened a new bottle, new butterfly ribbon to play with...


The new butterfly ribbon is super exciting for me as it is made with my photos.  I feel like a toddler leaving nursery clutching a messy painting in her sticky pudgy hand and beaming with glee and pride... it's a bit of a 'look, Mum, I made this!' moment.  No advertising on WOYWW but you can see where to get it from if you'd like some.


And finally the new washi storage we built.  Some space left for a few more rolls ;D



See you at your desk!

  2. Ooh Laura, your washi looks like an art collection now!
    I love the printed ribbon - well done you for having the courage to go ahead and get it done - so what will you be using it for? Or is it still too precious to contemplate actual use just yet?!

  3. Hi,
    I'm just doing a quick visit round a few of my favourite Wednesday blogs now I've cleared a good amount off my to do list and am too tired to start any more special dress alterations. :-) I will start afresh in the morning :-)
    It's been pretty manic here too today and like you I am suffering with the very high pollen count :-( I love your ribbon....how clever are you :-)
    Hugs,

  6. Congrats on the ribbon.

    Washi storage is fab, but you definitely need more. As you got me addicted I have loads now and for some unknown reason I ordered 31 more reels and have another 10 still to arrive:)

    Hope your Hayfever eases off.

  7. Your ribbon is fabulous, trouble is if I had some I'd never ever use it, I'd love it so much!!
    You have such a great looking desk, the washi tape storage is an art form in it's own right!

  8. Commiserations on the hay fever front, my hubbie suffers terribly with it, he's had it since he was little, the Dr told his mum he would grow out of it wonder when that might be? he will be 63 this year!! Love "your" butterfly ribbon well done you! Your washi tape storage is great and also very pretty to look at win win.
    Have a great week. Lottie #80

  10. Wow, I LOVE your butterfly ribbon! How amazing is that? I never even knew that such a thing existed but it's brilliant and actually the source of possible future prezzies too :-)
    And I laughed (sorry) at you having the two tombows open....the number of times I've done something similar....sigh !
    Thanks for dropping by,
    Hugs, LLJ xxxx

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
