WOYWW 866

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.  

I have a stack of 6 x 6 papers and a stack of 12 x12 papers I wanted to use up.  I decided to make some accordion books.  In total I made four 6 x 6; two 8.5 x 6; two 3.5 x 6 and one 9 x6.  One I am using for a study of Genesis and yesterday I designed the cover.  


These are my crafty Christmas presents. The Robin and the Niffler were from my niece. She made the niffler with a 3d printer, I need to paint him. The young horse was hand painted by my granddaughter in the colours of Spirit stallion of the cimarron.

Two punches that I had ordered December 3rd arrived over the weekend, they seem to punch cleanly.  On the right you can see an envelope of Father Christmas faces cut from some wrapping paper.  I bought some light brown wrapping paper a couple of years ago, better for the environment, but my husband won't use it, so I thought if I made it more Christmassy it would get used, next Christmas.

My husband had a jigsaw for Christmas with only 250 pieces, turned out not to be easy as he thought.  The pieces are weird and wonderful shapes.  You can see four of the wonderful ones, a lion, a bear, a leaf and a pawprint.
