Bluedaisyz Weekly Photo Challenge: PURPLE
Master R has asked for a blanket to be mainly purple and green – a bit of a challenge for me. I have persuaded him to let me add a few more colours.
I have started colouring a page in ‘The Enchanted Forest” in purples to play with colour combos

I love the blanket colours, really funky! I bought an adult colouring book and some lovely pencils whilst on hols in Bayeux recently… I can totally understand your pencil fetish! I have a nice box of Caran D’Ache pencils at home, but wanted to get started. It’s so relaxing, takes me back to my childhood when I would spent hours doing Altair design books.

Yes you are right about it being a childhood thing – I think a lot of my craft activity is still about colouring in – I used to do masses of needlepoint. So glad you are with me on the pencils – i’m not alone! I’m wondering how the blanket is going to work out – you describing the colours as funky has encouraged me! Thank you!

Yes, definitely relaxing – just right for early morning quiet times with the children and calming down evening times.

Thank you Cathy, any excuse to squeak some crochet into a post!
I use Caran d’Ache colour pencils and 0.3mm Staedtler fine liner pens, both of which I bought from our local art shop – i felt like a kid at Christmas when I allowed myself to buy the 40 pencil colouring set – I still stroke them, all lined up in their box! Yes – bonkers! xxx
