Hi wednesday peepers
Well, this weeks desk is post wedding ,,,,,, yay. Everything was fabulous on the day, even the sun shone. The bride was absolutely beautiful. I might post a few more photos next week from the reception that other people took... Nope I think it is time to move on. . . . enough
Anyway lots to show so I won't waste your time by writing too much ..... just show the pictures!
This is my desk Tuesday afternoon...... lots going on
I am on holiday this week so I am catching up on stuff that was left before the wedding
Trying to finish D1's wedding album from last year.
Some of you may remember the last minute necklace I started last week. Here it is finished, plus earrings and a bracelet. See, I said I had loads of time hee hee.
These are the original wedding geckos, they are made from MDF, I painted them with crackle paint and decorated with papermania gems. just to explain D2 has a real gecko called Tango
As you can see geckos are a bit of a theme, these are from the top of the wedding cake. Cute huh!
I finished the album, this was the last page. Later on I started making some more boxes to stack my DI pads in.,
This is my desk later in the eveining
They are made from foam board, they work really well and are quick to make. But now time for a little glass of something red, a bar of something brown and nutty and a rest ZZZZZZZZZZZ
If you dont know why I am showing you all this, where have you been, it's the nosiest blog hop around. hop over to http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/
I hope to visit a lot more desks this week . . . no wedding stuff to do.
Well I'm done with all that ... well for a couple of years anyway!!!
If you are kind enough to leave a comment I will visit you back so please include you Mr Linky no.
See ya

great wedding makes! Love the gecko theme! WTG! making your own Distress ink pad holders. I need to do something cause I am tired of having to pull each one of mine out to get to the one I want! Have a great week. Vickie (no number yet)
ReplyDeleteSo glad the sun shone on the day!! Julia and I both commented at her card marathon that we were glad for you and your family! I LOVE the gecko cake, so personal and humorous - why have a boring, run of the mill one when you can gecko it up?? Hope you had the best day and you're not too shattered after all the hard work :)
ReplyDeleteLove, LLJ #1 xx
Your jewellery is so pretty...I will look back in your blog to see how you created it..brilliant:)

Adorable wedding cake! how cool. Great to see all your 'stuff', and those inkpad storage are fab- if you get time(!) any chance of a list of the dimensions & how you stuck the little shelves in? I'm moving into another room in a month or two( or maybe more) and I would love to make myself some of those, My inkpad collection has reached ludicrous level now,lol. xx Shaz #60

Such a busy craft room you have there and so much going on….where to start!
ReplyDeleteFirst, what a fab cake, so unusual and unique.
The jewellery is beautiful too, it must have taken you an age to do all that beading but it was worth it because it’s stunning.
Happy Crafting!

Wow there is so much to look at. Love the cake how unusual and the jewellery is stunning. Ink holders too, very busy. Tracey R ±93
ReplyDeleteLove the gecko's especially the bride and groom on top of the cake - an indication, I think, of how much fun the wedding was. Your DI storage is fantastic. Hope you have a good week and happy WOYWW, Elizabeth x #49
ReplyDeleteoh gosh - what a blast of a wedding that must have been!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the gecko wedding cake topper, how fun and cute! Now, I never thought of making anything with foam board, but you have made me curious. I just need to see what I need to make! lol waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteGlad everything went well for the wedding!
ReplyDeleteOh my you have been busy!! :)

I love how you make your own ink pad holders! The wedding sounds like it was most awesome. The cake topper is so cute!! I like it when people so something meaningful to them instead of traditional.
ReplyDeleteYour necklace, earrings and bracelet are just incredibly beautiful. You sure pulled that one off with a wow!
I love, love, love the geckos they are FAB-U-LOUS!!! I have some of that foam to make some more Copic marker storage cubes, what a grand idea to use it for pads too.. Do you have set pattern to follow or did you wing it? Thanks for the visit and the share!
ReplyDeleteAngie #91
I love geckos too and I think they look great on that cake. Love the look of those foam board stackers for the distress inks too - great idea.
ReplyDeleteLove the geckos too - my daughter would like a real one for now she has to cope with some on her wall. Great jewellery really stunning - nice to get back to normal crafting - have a great week and thanks for visiting me :)

Delighted the wedding went well and the sun was shining....you have been so busy enjoy that something red, brown... Those storage boxes for you inks are Amazing... You will need to do a tutorial for us all... Love them!!! Hugs May x x
ReplyDeleteThose Gekkos are adorable. I shared a few nights with Gekkos on holiday in Vietnam and since I got up close and personal with a few I really love them now!
ReplyDeleteYour beaded necklace set is pretty.
Thanks for visiting, though I have to tell you those fingers tins are vintage and came to me with lace bobbins in!!
Looking forward to Julia's crop next Saturday!! Yeay!!
xx
So much goodness, all in one post! I love all your creative projects!!!! SUPER TALENTED!
ReplyDeleteHi Janet
ReplyDeleteit's been great to hop by your blog on this 174th WOYWW... I don't think I've been here before, but so glad that i've made it here now.
Love the quirkiness of the gekko theme at your daughters wedding - that's a first one on me! lol...
That necklace is absolutely stunning. The bead work is brilliant - I'm trying to get my head round how you have threaded it... I've bought jewellery bits and bobs, but not got round to making anything yet. My mum makes loads but uses precious and semi precious stones and gems and sterling silver - but doesn't do bead work this intricately.
I've already read your later post - and really wish I was coming to the meet next week... it's something I suggested back when there were only about 30 of us doing WOYWW - over 2 and half years ago - well, i've been doing it (on and off through illness) for 3 years in January as it is one of the first things I joined when I made my blog. I'm so envious of all those going - i'd love to.
best wishes to you - and enjoy yourself next Saturday - hope your mini class doing the tassels goes well.

WOOOOOO - Just LOVIN' your desk this week. From quirky cakes to graceful geckos to beautiful beadwork. I am SO looking forward to meeting you. And chuffed to bits that I do believe I recognise peyote stitch when I see it. See, now I've probably made a muppet of myself cos I'm probably wrong. Whatever, it's absolutely GORGEOUS beadwork, and to complete all that in a week, well, big pat on the back to ya!
ReplyDeleteI went with your suggestion of the dark background, and it worked, along with one or two other changes (more distressing, change of colour on the central medallion). Cheers!
See you on SATURDAY!
