WOYWW 153



Hello All!   Welcome to What's On Your Worktop Wednesday.




Billy checking out 'her' new toy.




Yes, I am now one of the club.  I told the lovely Julia (by the way Julia, thank you very, very much) that I was feeling left out because I couldn't play hide the badge like you guys!




Yesterday was spent tidying.  If you've been here before you will know that I am not very good at tidying.  I get bored of tidying and want to play.  But I persevered and it is nearly tidied off completely ready for the sewing machine to come out to play.  One thing that made me chuckle... I moved my glass cutting mat to wipe the whole surface of the desk and...
...look at all that stuff hiding underneath!  Loads of it and I didn't have a clue.  A few jigsaw puzzle pieces for a future scrap book page, beading wire, used postage stamps, union jack stickers, a heart stencil and some bunting triangles. What a random mix!!  Next time I lose something I know where to look! 


Billy Budgie helped me finish tidying.


"You left this bag out, I'll deal with it..."


"There you go.  I've put it on the floor."


"Julia, this new toy is so good.  It has a satisfying ting when I drop it..."


 "...I've put it on the floor."


"Time for my close up!"


  "See you next week folks!"


And good bye from me too.  I'm off to look at your desks!

  2. OMG! How cute is Billy Budgie. Billy you are such a great help. Sometime my little Brownie (Yorkie) help and he doesn't know it. I have a lot of small scraps on the floor and when he come sniffing in he tend to get them on his nose. LOL. Got to love the pets. Oh I think I'm gone need a button. I love to find them.

  12. What a fun post. I love birds and your Billy is a doll! How blessed you are to have him, but I'm afraid he'd be too distracting for me. I would just play with him and not craft! I laughed when I saw your "loot" under the mat as I've had a few discoveries like that myself! Have a great week! Darnell 152

  22. Love your sweet feathered helper! I can never get my desk as clear as yours so the sewing machine ends up on the kitchen table despite two big tables in my craft room. Sigh...

    Thanks for dropping by!

  25. Oh how fab to have a Billy. And what a great help he is, putting stuff on the floor for you! Love that! Like the look of the beady drawers all lined up and ready. Hope by now you've made a good old mess again! I took the little pads off my glass mat for exactly the reason you've shown...was sick of losing the important bits..thought I was going out of my head!!

  26. I LOVE your Billy! He/she has rather overshadowed your desk this week!

    ReplyDelete
  27. So good to see you, Billy! I just laughed and laughed at the "time for my close up" shot. I giggled at how she helps but putting things on the floor. The cats are really good at that too. The things under your desk mat are amazing! It is quite the eclectic find there. I lose things at the back of my desk. Sometimes it is kind of exciting what you find there.

  28. Oh I love Billy, and really you are tidy honestly,

    thanks for stopping by at my desk yesterday...

    the red teddy? He is OJ (orange juice) from The Big Blue Bear (childrens BBC TV in the nineties), only his nose had been sucked by so many children it is no longer black, Oj just seems to loiter waiting for the next child to cuddle him...

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
