 It's What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday, time for a peek at each other's desks and projects! We are now sharing through Sarah, at Sarah's Craft Shed.

Hello everyone! Well, hubby has COVID, and so I suppose it is expected I will get it too, although I hope not! I took the pic of my desk yesterday, I'm just finishing up my Accordion Book from Fodder School #1, a lesson by Roxanne Padget (July's lesson). She made her accordion book with dresses, but mine is completely different! Here is my desk. There is a clue somewhere on my desk...

Some teasers...

And hopefully it will be finished by next Wednesday!

Here is a page in my JIYA journal, not sure how it will be finished yet. The journaling part is ready to note how many Trick-or-Treaters we will be getting, but I have the sneaky suspicion it will be zero, due to our COVID 😢 So we will see what happens.

I will leave you with the Jack-O-Lantern that my SIL carved with Jasper, although she seemed much more interested in drawing J-O-L faces on post-it notes than helping her dad carve!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I hope everyone who celebrates has a fun Halloween! One thing for sure, our 2 black cats will not be going outside on Halloween!

Wow! 700th post of WOYWW! Amazing!

Congratulations to Julia, our fearless leader, who started this blog hop 700 posts ago!

Here is my desk this morning:

I have discovered dot painting! And I have been dot painting some of our beautiful fall leaves, and giving them away to friends and family. The Plaster of Paris is waiting for when I have enough time to do the next step of Fodder School.

Here are some of the leaves I have painted:

This is the one I'm working on that is on my desk

And here is the card and Peace Catcher I made for my friend in Niagara Falls:

I also sent her a leaf!

Finally, the pumpkin we carved for Halloween this year, now being devoured by our many squirrels!

I wasn't able to reply to some people last week, and there were some questions about burning the holes in my paper. If I had burned the paper when it was dry, I think it would have gone up in a "woosh!" and I wouldn't be able to get the controlled burn that I got when the paper was wet, and yes it did burn very well! Cindy commented that Fodder School could be called "extreme crafting" - I agree!

That's it for today, the cats are out enjoying a beautiful fall day today! Have a great week, and meow from Inky and Mittsy!

Getting colder! A very chilly 0°C this morning. Brrrrrr. I don't like the cold, so I am wearing layers already! 

Here is my desk this morning:

I am currently working on 2 junk journals, one I started a couple of months ago, un-themed, and one I'm starting for my Marjie Kemper group, which I think will be called "Childhood". So busy on two fronts! While one is drying, I work on the other one. You can just see the first one in the first picture, sitting in the basket on the left.

We had Halloween on Sunday, pandemic rules are gone, we had lots of (hopefully covid free) kids on our porch - 32 to be exact. Many of them commented on the decorations (not many people decorate for Halloween around here) and I had spooky Halloween noises playing as well. It looks lame in the light, but spookier at night!

           you can't see the bat netting in this photo, but it's there!

And I carved the pumpkin this year!

Today's kitty photo - here they are both together in my favourite spot, my warm bed watching TV. They both wanted scratches at the same time! Usually they take turns lying on my chest.

That's it for today! We hope you all have a wonderful week, stay safe, and stay creative! inky and Mittsy say "meow!"

Missing in Action

But back now! I've gotten so out of the habit of posting to my blog (BAD GIRL!!) I really have to get back to it. It was hard even to just do this, as I hadn't posted in so long! The computer is now fine, I hope, after getting a new hard drive. But now I back everything up.


I have been busy with my swaps, so I'll show some of those. And I am once again participating in the Byhand Twelve days of Christmas Exchange, and I'm in 2 groups. I just finished putting some of the past decorations on my tree, always my most favorite decorations! Just mailed out all my gifts, and have a lovely basket of the gifts piling up!

These are House Tags for a swap, the little windows open and Santa is inside. The person who sent to me also had a window to open with Santa inside!

Stampscapes Swap-theme "character"-this is Frankenstein's bride

I've been kind of obsessed with making these ornaments :

This one isn't mine, but can you see all the tiny triangles? And pins. Thousands of pins.

My first one. I made 3 more that I gave away.

Then I had to "Make it my own", so this one is made from colored book pages (since I love altering books!). This is colored with Distress inks. With dots of silver on the tips of the green ones.  

That's it for now. I have to go to work! I will start posting my 12 Days of Christmas gifts when we start opening them! I'm excited!

My Advent calendar-I get to put a teeny ornament on the tree every day!

Got to spend the day...

in my jammies doin' art! What fun! I finished my Architecture Accordion ATC, and had so much fun figuring it out! Another one  wish I could keep! This is for my AFTCM group.

 All the little doors open, and there are surprises inside!

 This next swap was for the same group, it was a Torso Tag Swap, with the theme of "Witching Hour"

 I got carried away and put a head on my torso. . .

Both of these use napkins as the background

I am now working on my Domino Swap, this one is lots of fun too. I love how these projects change and evolve from the first thought in my head to the end. Crazy! I also need to do my Halloween Paper Doll, and my Stampscapes card. Not to mention all my school work. . .Busy busy!
