Boy, I wish she would come round to my place – it needs a good clean! A late post today and I have no excuse. Where does the time go? Well, it certainly wasn’t from doing any housework.
The lovely Darla here is from InStyle Stamps and is coloured in with a mix of Prismacolor pencils and my new Koh-i-noor pencils, which I’ve been trying to get my hands on for a while but they are very hard to get in the UK. Well, until Elizabeth from Elzybells Art Stamps started to supply them. Thanks, Elizabeth, I love them!
I might also have done some more hand-stitching. OK, so this is now reaching obsessive heights I reckon 🙂 Can I even make a card now that does not have hand-stitching on it?
Don’t forget that there are a couple of challenges up on the InStyle Blog to play with – the Wednesday Challenge and the Thank Thursday Sketch Challenge – so plenty to be getting on with if you are bored 😉 Of course, you could always go do some housework instead!
I reckon my mind is very tidy then! Hope you are all having a lovely weekend.
