Happy Tuesday.
One of the things about working full time was that I really didn't get much time to indulge in my hobbies. Now that I am retired, and on a temporary stay from travelling, I'm hoping to get the chance to rectify that problem! I haven't had the time to play along with the Atlantic Hearts Sketches team for a long time, but I am hoping to change that. I started with their sketch this week and it inspired me to ink up a set from Pinkfresh Studio called Cosmos Bunch. Here's a sneak peek:
And here's the sketch from Atlantic Heart Sketches:
I know the team across at Atlantic Hearts would love it if you played along!
On a personal note:
Well, after over a decade crafting on a craft desk that we bought from Pottery Barn, I've decided it is time to make a change. My new Ikea desk arrives today. It's the same width but is much narrower than my current craft desk. My current craft desk has cubbies and I find that I just don't use them anymore. What I need is drawers. The new desk from Ikea gives me plenty of those. It's going to be interesting to see how I function with this new desk as I've become very accustomed to everything being where it is. I've told Lou not to get rid of my old craft desk as I might change my mind – again!! Hopefully not as I really need the drawers. I mean, when do crafters ever have enough drawers?!
I'll share some before and after photos next week. In the meantime, I thought I'd share a photo of our new kitten Chilli. He loves sitting on top of the climber – usually at the highest point. I think he might grow into those ears sometime!
What a cutie! I'll be back later in the week with another card. In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.
Hugs

Your card is stunning! Those flowers are so pretty, but the silver accents really make it even more special! And THOSE EARS! I am fascinated by them, LOL! Anyway, thanks for playing along with our AHSC sketch this week! I hope you’re able to play along lots more!
I always love your floral cards and how you color them. I didn’t realize how good it looks to leave white space instead of completely filling them in with color. I’ll have to start experimenting when I use my markers. Chilli is as adorable as ever, thanks for sharing photos of him…. and his ears!
thanks, Joan 🙂 You know, it has taken me years to embrace the white space. It was only recently, when I was doing a lot of coloring on the sea days on my recent cruise, that I started to realize that I liked it and that it did give things more life. As for Chilli… those ears are being used by NASA to listen for ET’s return home 🙂
