Friday Smiles


I love to watch the colour of a flower change.  The colour when it first flowers is rarely the same as the fourth or fifth day, and never the same as a fallen petal.  I watched these beautiful pale pink tulips change to dark pink with a blue tinge and white edges.


If you fancy having a go at a 35 piece jigsaw puzzle of this photo pop over here

Linking up at Annie's

  1. Hi Laura, It's sad when flowers in a vase drop their petals as that means they they will thrown out soon.

    Hope you have a fab Friday. Sue

  2. Love the photo Laura and I've even done the jigsaw :-) It took me 8 mins 32 secs [prob the first 5 mins was spent working out how to move and turn the pieces hehehe]. Thanks for my morning chuckle.
    Hugs,

  3. That's lovely. Max bought me almost blue tulips for Mother's day and as they faded they went from dusky lilac to mauve - really pretty. x Jo

  5. What a beautiful photo! Yes, you are right, the colours change with time.
    Thank you for the jigsaw. It took me 9:01 minutes (Annie was faster).
    Have a great week,

  6. I did the puzzle in 7.51 minutes. What a fun idea. I love the photo. Tulip petals are like silk, and that fades in the sunlight too! Kate x

  8. I was out all day today and just got home. I learned something new today. I had NO idea flower colors changed so dramatically over time. As always, your photo was incredible. Again, sorry I was late visiting today. Have a fabulous weekend.

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
