Stepping out of my comfort zone...

Hi folks...it's been a busy busy "hamster wheel" week in the cubbyhole...nose to the grindstone stuff making lots of projects I can't share with you yet and you know what they say ALL WORK and NO PLAY makes everyone a tad grumpy...the Furry Boy has had enough and retreated to his favourite sofa and Mr Mojo is in the mood for mutiny so it was time to give everyone a break...hang up my work hat and have a little playtime....albeit a definitely stepping out of my comfort zone playtime.
Let me start by saying that I am NOT a colourer...never got to grips with Alcohol Markers...have dabbled on occasions with Distress Marker watercolouring but expert I am certainly not. Bearing all that in mind...on what must have been a crazy "moment of insanity" day last year I decided that I just HAD TO HAVE the
and memories of that particular purchase just came to mind the other day. They were retrieved from that place that all impulse purchases seem to reside and I embarked on a little watercolour adventure...starting off with the NO LINE WATERCOLOUR technique. Get me...sounds like I know what I'm doing...
 not sure I nailed that one so I quickly moved on to a bit of Watercolour with Embossing...
but will it end up a finished project I'm happy to share...maybe...maybe not.
But hey it's Friday and I'm ready to kick up my heels with The Girls...coffee...lunch...catching up with all the gossip and a bit of retail therapy thrown in for good measure is just what the doctor would order for us busy crafters. I'll be back tomorrow to announce the winner of the Fiskars Give-Away...if you haven't entered yet...you have until 8pm tonight to get your name in the hat. Have a great weekend whatever you're planning to do but with snow forecast for my corner of the country...
my plans for the garden tidy up may be put on hold again
Hugs Kath xxx
