What's Going On...

When I woke up on Monday, instead of tackling the mountain of paperwork on my desk, 
I decided to relax and color.
I colored for hours, until my fingers had become "tired" and they were begging me to stop.







These pages are in this Adult Coloring Book I received from my good friend, Liz.
These are the ones I recently finished and I don't think I have shown them here yet.

I started a new knitting project...

This is The Neapolitan Cowl 20
I am knitting with Magpie Fibers DK Yarn 
"swanky'
 80% SW Merino, 10% Cashmere & 10% Nylon
It is easy enough, purling and knitting is all you really need to know.
And also a key point is to NOT let the yarn twist.
On my first attempt...casting on the 252 stitches, my yarn twisted and I had to rip it out
and start all over again.
I am back on track, untwisted.

I am still planting flowers and seeds, 
I am way beyond the respectable time to be putting things in the ground.
~ fingers crossed ~

You colored all that?!? Your talents never cease to amaze me. Any coloring I did would look like a two year old did it with squiggly lines all over the page!

Hello Debbie,
Your coloring pages are pretty. I love the hummingbirds.
I will look forward to see your Cowl finished.
Take care, enjoy your day!

Beautiful. I colored some this past weekend. I have a National Park coloring book I started. I love the page of the hummingbirds.

I like to color too. Very relaxing. Do you like knitting with dark colors. I find it harder to see the stitches. The cowl will be beautiful!!

Debbie, your colouring is gorgeous. You are very talented.

Debbie said...

yes, i love the color but i do find it harder to see the stitches. this yarn was gifted to me in the "beat the winter blues swap" i participated in. the person was so thoughtful in getting purple for me because they knew it was my favorite color. i purchased a steel needle, that is helping me to see the stitches better...and i am going slower!!

I wonder why it took so long for someone to decide that adults need coloring books too. Coloring is so relaxing and there is a joy in it that we never out grow :)

Wow you weren't kidding you did a lot of coloring, I love the page of birds. Nice to have a new project going on your knitting too. I didn't get my wild flower seeds planted yet, some from last year came up in the wildflower garden and I have been enjoying them and now I think it may be too late.
