On The Cutting Mat


So here is my counterfeit kit for the month of march. Yep, we are a way through the month already, I am a little late, but that is how it has gone. So be it. The kit to forge this month is 'a piece of cake designs' January kit.  
 
My notes on the kit read:
wood, cork
geometric, floral, ditsy
navy, soft teal, black & white, yellow, pumpkin.
Gelatos, sequins, ephemera, frames, clips, flair, doily, washi, ribbon, lace .
 
My notes from the blog hop read:
Lynette - name it, love it, do a photo shoot with props and the works!  Crush on it!!
Susanne - Keep it compact
I was put off by the pink labelling too (forgot to write master forgers name)
 
So I present to you "on the cutting mat"
 
 
It was meant to be a 2 layout kit but I can see at least 4! A few sheets of 12x12 from Cocoa Vanilla (anyone found any UK stockists yet?)  The rest of the paper is snippets and off cuts. 3 full packs of supplies from a recent Hey Little Magpie sale. Some Evalicious goodies from their recent sale. 
 
 
 
Dots, washi (I couldn't choose, so I out all the rolls in...) buttons (from Crafty Ribbons) lace (old Crafty Ribbons stock) And in place of the gelatos a pan pastel.  Let me explain... I don't have any gelatos so I see them as a new product. The pan pastel is also new to me.  It is still in it's wrapper and I have no idea how to use it (just like gelatos!) So, do you see?  That is how my M.E. befuddled brain is working at the moment. Moving, thinking and therefore getting things done has been tricky this last week so the kit will wait for the fog to clear and then the fun can begin!

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
