WOYWW 818

 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.

The sun is shining this morning, not sure how warm it is outside though.  I will find out when my grandson comes to the back of the garden.  He is a ray of sunshine himself.  I say "Hello Joshua, how are you doing?" He responds "Fine thank you, what have you been doing this morning?".  A minute or two of chat and a hug makes my day!

Yesterday morning I thought I would water the plants before breakfast. I spilled some water, in mopping it up I knocked the atomiser over, which spilled water on the carpet!  In moving a plant out of the way it fell over and left soil on the carpet!  The spilled water was in a hard to reach position and I was back and forth to the kitchen getting kitchen towel as I had spilled more than I thought.  In trying to clear up the soil I made more of a mess 😒.  I staggered into the kitchen and my husband said "What on earth have you been doing?"😦 (Chronic fatigue sufferers will immediately understand) It set the tone for the entire day.  I did manage to do some colouring, but that was it.

The seahorse is for a collage I am planning.  I have had this colouring page for several years, originally I was going to draw one, but I discovered this in my "Sea" box. ( There was a pause here while I went out to say hello to Joshua 😊)  All things related to the sea, stamps, dies, images are in my "Sea" box.


If you remember the book I was in the middle of last week.  It is the one on the right with a ribbon binding.  The one on the left was Travel Planner my faith pages were in.


It is made of scrapbook paper and I used a hinge binding.  I managed to use up 25 sheets of 12 x 12 although I still have left over scraps as the pages measure 9 x 7 inches.


The book above I saw on a Pinterest email.  This is the link.  It is called a Double Locking Accordion.  I didn't have any 24 inch paper so I had to tape two pieces together.  The paper I used was far too thin (righthand side) so I ended up covering it with scrapbook paper. (lefthand side)

I can just picture you struggling to clear up your mess…I would be the same so you have my sympathy.

Oh Angela, what a pickle you got in. Glad it is all over now and you managed to calm down (with a bit of crafting).
Not surprised you enjoy your chat with your grandson, sounds just perfect.
Hugs and Thanks for the little poem you sent to me, really lovely and much appreciated.
Hugs, Neet 9 xx
