This post will be more pictures than words as I need an early night!
At the weekend the baby blanket grew a bit more. Unfortunately I somehow grew it sideways as well by adding some unintentional stitches, but i rectified that pretty quickly!
This evening I got to catch up with my friend Iona over dinner at mine. We then played with my craft stuff and she explored how to use my intense ink pencils (like water colour pencils only with an ink effect). She produced these really vibrant flowers which I love.
While she did that i made a few more cards, which were fun as they evolved as i made them. I really only started with an idea of the animal I wanted to create and then saw what happened at each stage.
It was a fun evening, and as always, lovely to have a craft buddy!
I can’t think of a better way to spend the evening than crafting with a friend ^^

Definitely! And especially seeing as I hadn’t seen her for such a long time.

The pencils really are vibrant, which is what attracted me to them! Thank you for your lovely comments. I’m so pleased with my cards… It’s been fun exploring something totally different, and I’m super pleased with the Badger card.

I love those cards- especially the flamingo!

Oh thank you. I didn’t mean to make the flamingo that way but when I found the pink papery sheet I knew I had to use it in the design!

You’re so talented in so many different crafts! Sometimes I could swear that a “stitch fairy” just pops in and adds a stitch here and there! It looks like you’ve got in sorted now though!

Oh cool… I didn’t know I could blame the stitch fairy! So… Not my fault after all!
