Getting pencils ready...

I have been watching lots of videos on YouTube on different Mediums to colour and I have to say, I wish I had an area where I could lay down all my pencils and pastels and just work all afternoon. My space is pretty limited and with Eddie around I need to hide the good stuff before he gets his little paws on it.
And I decided to give it a try on pastels, crayons and mineral oil to colour a couple of images I had stamped. I mixed the colouring with promarkers just because Im used to them and knowing myself, a stamp bad coloured would end up in the bin....
There is still a lot of room for improvement and I was thinking about taking up art classes when Eddie starts Pre-School in September. Its a big 'maybe' at the moment and considering I already have an art background, signing up shouldnt be hard, right? Lets see how things go...

Tree of Stitches

Remember last post when I complained I didnt have time to get anything done? Well... last week was different (for a change) I managed to get part 5 of Tree of Stitches done, and coloured 5 different images for future cards, laundry is up-to-date, we had homemade dinner every night and my house is sort of clean. Very proud of myself considering I work 30h/week in retail and by the time I get home all I want is my put my feet up and on my days off I work as a taxi-mum to Edward...

Anyway, photos! This is part 5 of Tree of Stitches by Abi from TSS Yahoo group.

Birds Sampler Update

I have been a bad blogger. I havent read any blogs lately, I havent posted in my own blog...
July is a busy month in work, and Eddie is trying to adapt to weather and normal life back again. Lets say he enjoyed a bit too much his hols, going to bed late, sleeping til late, eating whatever he wanted since Grandma would feed him anything.... Now is back to vegs and early nights. He is just not enjoying it.
Because of all of this, I havent had much time to do anything. If I get one hour stitching per night, Im in heaven.
Anyway.... I managed to finish part 5 of Birds Sampler from Angie Designs. It took me more than 2 weeks which really pissed me off. Parts werent that big and I could have done much quicker and started/continued another project.

When in Berlin, I have stitched an Owl for Eddies door. I have this pattern aside for a long time now and only managed to sew it together in Brazil, and it was my first time using the white little balls trim (cant remember the name now...) and I hate it! it looks cute but it took me over 3 hours to get this done...

Eddie loved it anyway
