Cosy Polar Bear!

 Hello Everyone, how'r you all doing? I hope you are well and still keeping safe. 

Unfortunately the virus is spreading again in Scotland, however, thankfully there haven't been many deaths. It really is quite a worry especially as we are heading into the Winter illness period.

The gym I go to has reopened....much too soon in my opinion, but the aqua classes are not yet up and running, maybe for another few weeks, they were the only activity I used the gym for. I have however decided not to go back for a time yet. I can't see how they will manage the changing room. They will have to reduce the size of the class when they do start again, quite right too, but it could mean that unless you are lucky to book in time you could end up paying a subscription for a service you aren't getting,  I hate throwing money away like that, anyway well see how it pans out.

Thank you for the lovely comments on my last post, I do appreciate all of them and the time it takes to visit my blog.  I have another page completed;


I love this Polar Bear with his cosy scarf, and I've coloured it all in Black Widow Pencils and gel pens in various shades of blue and white. The background is DI and Sparkle Medium, I use a MFT Snow Flurry stencil. Imagination Crafts seem to have disappeared now, I loved their different colours of Sparkle Medium, there was a gorgeous shimmery paint too, it's name escapes me just now. I've had to throw quite a few jars out as it's gone hard.

Anyhoo, this is the colouring book this page is from;


There are so many beautiful illustrations to choose from.

That's me for now, I hope your day is going well, it's been a bit cold here, and dull, though thankfully not raining. Take care of yourselves,

Ah this is super, what a great page, love the shades of blue you have gone for. My Aunt has started back at her gym. She doesn't use the changing rooms and just goes back home in her kit so shes not mixing too much. Its such a worry especially with the numbers rising, Stay Safe, Hazelx

We have already reached the Winter illness! both hubby and me with flu already! Such a worry when not feeling well to think what it might be and will everything be OK. Anyhow, I think you're wise to keep safe. I Love your colouring such a pretty and wonderful image. Looks like you will be kept busy with the book.

It is a worry Kate as we look be going in a backwards direct again. All we can do is our best to stay safe and follow the rules. Your colouring page is another beauty with the frosty feel.

This is too cute and I love the stenciling! That looks so neat!

I know it is such a hard decision on what to go back to and what not to. Maybe they will figure out another safe system where you pay as you go instead of a subscription. Who knows!?
