Welcome to Crafting With Jack and What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday, a day when we link up to Sarah's Craftshed and have a look to see what everyone has been doing.
It’s now half past ten and breakfast (scrambled eggs) is finished and I am ready to start my blog. Last night I decided I would get up as soon as I awoke (not counting getting up at 3:45 for the loo!). It was ten past nine when I awoke! I don’t seem to wake up early in the winter months, okay I’ll admit it, it’s along time since I was awake earlier🤣 though I often am awake in the early hours and often go downstairs for a cuppa. I blame my husband as he doesn’t wake up early either. His grandmother used to get up at six every morning!
I can’t possible show my craft room, or maybe I can with just clearing the middle so I can display my latest goodies. I am constantly trying to squeeze a little more room in my craft space by reorganizing and frequently say things like “I had forgotten about that!”
On the left is a black book which my husband took the middle out of yesterday morning and I am putting my Christmas journal inside, so the cover has to be covered and the signatures sewn in, I might try holding them in with ribbons or twine instead. On the right is a box I was given “to do something with” and as it was on top of the Christmas box it came down with it. In the middle are my recent goodies. I don’t usually get lucky in sales, but I couldn’t resist these Tracy Easson stamps, a Woodware one and two Matt Tints. I also bought a mdf reindeer and sleigh which is waiting to be built up.

Hope you find a way to secure your Christmas journal pages in. I ought to make a bit of space in my living room (it's where my craft stuff lives too!) so I can feel a bit more Christmassy next week! Well done on the bargains. Happy WOYWW and merry Christmas xx Helen #2
I love the picture of you and your MIL. You look so happy!
Happy WOYWW and Christmas

People often give me stuff ‘to do something with’ as well! Some I keep but I’m quite good at giving what I won’t use straight to the charity shop, someone else can have the pleasure instead. It’ll be interesting to see how you fit your journal pages into the book cover, you’ll have to show us in the New Year!
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and happy 2025,
Hugs LLJ 3 xxx
We will look forward to seeing your finished journal when it's tucked between the covers. Have a lovely Christmas. x x Jo 🌈
Sorry about the link I’ve updated it. Lynnecrafts xx
I can never wake up early in the winter either! It doesn't help that it is so dark in the mornings. I have been needing to reorganize my craft room too. Thanks for reminding me! I also really want to have the carpets cleaned in there. The picture with your MIL is lovely! Hope you have a great Christmas!
Hi Angela. I'm back home at last as we've been visiting friends and picking up the Christmas cake and probably talking too much Lol! I don't go to bed early enoughj to get up too early and the dogs are lazy too so they don't wake up early either. Love the photo of you and MIL at the garden centre. Wishing you a very happy woyww Christmas. Hugs Angela x9x
I think we often wake later in the winter due to the dark mornings Angela. That's a lovely photo of you and MIL. Merry Christmas and happy WOYWW. Sarah
Oh a new printer - hmmm that's on the same list as a new car for me and more like pie in the sky really. What type is it and have you worked out how to use it yet - LOL. Great Tracey stamps and super photo with your Mum.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New WOYWW Year to you.

Oho, great photo, really Christmasy! And, me too...usally every two to three hours I need the loo! I'm house/dog sitting at the moment and as soon as they think I'm awake, they want to go out side too! Not in the pitchblack sez me! Happy Christmas Happy WOYWW!? ((Lyn))#17
love the photo of you both at the garden centre. My Xmas cake recipe is 1kg dried fruit mixed with 600ml of liquid (eg choc milk,juice, tea or coffee etc). stir and leave to soak overnight. Stir in 265g self raising flour, I also add some cinnamon and mixed spice too. Grease and line a 23cm cake tin, you can add some pecan nuts to the top of the cake and bake at 160 deg for 1-1.5 hrs. BUT this makes 2 cakes!!! Enjoy
Hi Angela! I am just trying to catch up with commenting now that we are at the holiday house and are ready for Christmas! Loved reading your story...
I have several mdf pieces that I intended sorting out for Christmas but it might be next year now!!
Wishing you a merry Christmas and a happy new year!
