Thanks for your good wishes last week. My knee is now improving, thanks, and I’m rebooking to go to see my aunt in hospital next week. Next week I may not be able to post or comment- it depends on how the WiFi is.
Still, here’s my desk.
It’s all a bit pale as my shirt is, too. I’ve found a wonderful watercolour by Winsor &Newton called ultramarine ash. It’s a transparent, granulating colour and mixes beautifully with copper blue to provide my shade.
I’ve also finished the crochet slipover for myself.
B says it looks military with the right shoulder buttons, but I like it.
Bella helped me of course. 😻 She sends you all purrs
I had some great happy post today. Firstly a crochet bag that our LLJ made for me.
I also had a pen arrive from Tom’s studio with some gorgeous sea shades of ink. It’s a felt tip, brush tip, writing tip pen that’s refillable and comes with two pen heads and eleven different tips.
It’s not cheap and I had a few niggles but I love how it writes and draws and that it’s not a throwaway pen.
The second head is hidden in the middle and reverses for use. You’d struggle to write with both tips exposed as it only comes with one cap. I’ve just ordered a second one.
Also you can buy ink sample bottles but the shade label is on the cardboard, not on the bottle so I’ve just added labels.
And finally…
Take care, all, and happy WOYWW
Hugs

Oooh, I have pen envy - that kit looks wonderful, I bet you’ll use it loads and how wonderful to have something that is refillable! I like your top and the buttons set it off perfectly, the spare will also be handy for your new bag, I’m glad you’re pleased with it.
The funnies are great as always but the final one made me laugh out loud!

Glad the knee is improving x. Your slipover looks good. They'd be no good for me, my arms get cold ! Happy painting . Helen #1
Oh and great funnies !
Super shirt and I didn't think that of your slipover at all, think it looks cool. Already seen the bag on Jan's page adore the fabric. The pen looks cool too. Hugs bj#3
Your new pen kit sounds amazing (and expensive), I have not heard of anything like that. I must see if I can find more information. Your crochet top is lovely and I like the buttons. I must do another waistcoat since I can’t seem to find mine. Happy WOYWW. Angela #13
I had a look at the website, I would love to try a pen out I don’t suppose they do samples🤣. The funnies are hilarious. Angela #13
Now I know what Jan was making you the bag for, it's lovely and very useful. Loving the slipover too and the funnies made me laugh especially the bird table one.
Your finished knitted top is lovely with the buttons. Love the new pens…I’m sure you will get lots of use out of them.

That pen really looks the business and it should be great for what you do. Love the bag too - great choice of choosing the fabric.
I know what Brian means but i don't agree it looks military.

Lots of electrical things have magnets in them and I can't use them because of my pacemaker. Believe me I have tried so many things and bought so many lotions and potions ...

ps am sat in agony now with a hot water bottle on my back writing this despite having had the treatment
The bag from LLJ is awesome! Your pen sounds amazing! Your top is awesome. It is nice to hear that your knee is better!
Have an awesome week!

Love that first 'and finally'!
The pens sound very interesting but don't know if I would get them here.
Happy WOYWW! Susan #5
Hi Lynn
So glad you feel up to rebooking your visit. Take care and walk carefully.
those funnies are adorable.
if I were more of an ink artist, I think I'd like that set. Have you thought about also adding a line of color to the label so you get a true sense of the shade?
Creative Blessings! ~ Kelly #14
