Brrrr, winter has arrived and my fingers need to be busy while sitting watching my mindless streaming shows. I decided to knit some things for charity using the lovely soft left over yarns I have from many crocheted blankets I have made. Hmmm, what to do.......ah, beanies! So, thanks to the beanie queen, Karen, I have made 4 children's beanies and have another on the go.
My colouring is keeping me relaxed during a very stressful time. I am learning many techniques and just enjoying the process.
I recently bought a lovely new colouring book, one of many by this very popular illustrator/ designer/ artist? I don't know what the official term is for people who do these colouring books. This one is special because it is more than just a colouring book. It is a quest to eventually unlock the castle door at the end. Clever! I shied away from it a while ago because the pages are so busy and intricate but now I am eager to have a go and started it yesterday. I have discovered that I 'need' more pencils as I have a limited colour range.
I am proud to say that I finished another book. This one is the first of a series by Anna Jacobs and I already have book 2 ready to read. I enjoyed another series of hers which was set in the 1800s and this series is set at the end of WW2.
I hope this post has not been too lengthy. It feels good being productive again even though I am not doing as much as I used to. It is a busy time mentally, physically and emotionally at the moment so some crafty time has been great.
Lovely to hear from you Ondrea. Those little hats are gorgeous, such lovely colours. Glad you are enjoying your artwork, very distracting and relaxing. xx

Posts can never be too lengthy!! The little beanies look wonderful, well done! Enjoy your colouring, that new book looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteLovely beanies, they will be appreciated. I've seen that book, there are some beautiful pages in it to keep you busy.
ReplyDeleteI will be losing my title of "Beanie Queen" to you soon. That colouring book sounds a challenge. Enjoy
