Floral Gramophone!

Hello Crafting Friends, I hope you are well and looking forward to the weekend. Another week has just whizzed by.

I am pleased to say that I am feeling much better, and had a bit better sleep, there's still a cough, but at least I can function better. Alistair is on the mend too, he is upstairs playing his fiddle at the moment and I don't feel like my head is going to cave in with the noise and thumping...he thumps out the beat and it's necessary.....he tells me. So thank you for all your good wishes and healing vibes.

Thank you for the lovely comments on my last card, you are all so kind, and a warm welcome to Kelly who is my latest Follower, I hope you will continue to like what I do and visit often.

Something a little different today, a completed page from an adult colouring book. I bought a few of these books last year and enjoyed colouring during the warm Summer where I could take it all outside and sit in the sunshine and colour to my hearts content. I've not done anything over the Autumn or Winter though. So, as I didn't feel much like card making I picked up one of my books and finished a page;
Here is the book the page is from;
There a lots of lovely drawings in this book, some are quite intricate others not so, but all are beautifully drawn.
I used a combination of Crayola and Staedtler Ergo Soft colour pencils. Both ranges would be considered budget pencil, but quite good, there is a good colour range, but no way as blendable as Prisma Colour or Faber Castell. Anyway, as these pages are just for me, they don't have to be perfect, I just enjoy colouring in, and it's a good way to practice.  

It's a better day today, at least the sun has been shining a bit and no rain, but the weather folk are still talking about  snow sometime at the weekend, still have the woolie socks on.

That's me for now, have a lovely day and I'll see you soon,

  7. Beautiful colouring Kate. I'm really glad you are on the mend now. The cough is awful and for some reason is always worse when you lie down. I'm now on to my next Grand-Daughters invitations, although it's not till August I felt I should make a start. Hugs Rita xxx

  25. Hi Kate, firstly thanks for the lovely visit. I hope this cold is not making your and hubby's cold worse.

    I love your colouring, something I really must get into, digital is so much easier LOL. Great colour combos on these pages and it's comforting to know they are not done with expensive pencils either. GREAT work.
    I'm now your follower too.
