The almost true exploits of an intrepid spinster and her stitching...and all of the things that make up her crazy, happy, quiet little life.

COLORING MY WORLD...
I'm more than a little obsessed with Angie Grace coloring books and ultra fine Sharpie markers. Methinks I have found the paper and ink equivalent of Laura J. Perin and Vineyard Silks!
Thanks, Coni. The lightbulb finally went on (did I mention that as a Texas gal I am amazing slow). I ordered WOW! and can hardly wait for its arrival. I will try Michaels.
Hi, Robin! The pages are single sided, and yes, the Sharpies definitely bleed through. I've been pulling the pages out as I color them and I work on top of a scratch piece of paper.
I bought Hubby a colouring in book the other day and he is totally addictive to it already! Originally we were going to share the book.. but so far I haven't had a look in - but then again if I do start colouring I suspect my stitching time will get cut down even further! Enjoy :o) xx
When I was a child I Loved to color. I have also read that adult coloring books are all the rage. I had better not get started because then I might never do anything else! Your coloring is beautiful!
Lovely coloring. I have two coloring books....but have not taken time to sit and work on them. My free time has been spent reading or stitching. But I always did love to color. I have colored pencils.... But may have to look for the sharpies....
Extreme colouring?! That's a new one for me. I can't help feeling that colouring would just take me away from stitching...
ReplyDeleteI am off on another quest. Better yet, where are these delightful coloring books available?
ReplyDeleteYou and Stewey are a constant source of fun, frivolity, and great things to ponder.
Chelonia, Tex! I found the Angie Grace book on the Amazon and purchased the others ar the Michael's.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great analogy, Coni! I guess I want to know if the pages are single sided or double and if the very fine sharpies bleed through.

ReplyDeleteI love the colors you put together! Good to hear you are having fun :)
ReplyDeleteGreat new trend, especially for stitchy types who love color. Goes so much more quickly than xs or sewing!
ReplyDeleteI have found such great memories in coloring. Just haven't found right markers. Will have to try the sharpies.
