So last weekend I told you about ordering the new set of Ink Lily pens. On Tuesday they arrived and I started using them straight away.

I started with the first class colouring mushrooms/toadstools. I’ve gone through it twice now and I started it for a 3rd time this evening.

Here are pictures of my work:

Yes they are both of the same stamp but it’s all practice and I’ll keep going until I have got it as close to perfect as I can. I think the work so far is pretty good and it can only get better. Practice, practice, practice.

It’s a 180 pen set but I’ve only been using the first 12 and I don’t think I’ve use all 12 of them. Either way as the D-ream song says, “Things can only get better”.

As I’ve been focusing on my colouring I haven’t really been doing much else this week: I’ve done a bit of knitting and some tangling but that’s all.

Here are the tangles I’ve done:

I got the tile from tile swap 5:

I think it’s really good. I also found out that the person that got the tile I did was the person who’s tile I got last time. I thought that was great, she even sent me an email saying that she loved the tile. It’s always good getting positive feedback from someone. Especially when it’s in expected. Here is a picture of the tile I did:

Also I got a birthday gift from Sandra, the tangle lady. She sent me some tiles she had inked up/decorated and a birthday card:

I love the tiles and the card is great.

Last night I watched one of the best films on the face of the planet.

“Come on couple 100”

“A bit of musicality please”

“I want Ken Railings to walk in here right now and say Pam Short’s broken both her legs and I wanna dance with you”.

“A life lived in fear is a life half lived”.

If you haven’t got it by now you probably won’t get it at all. The best film in existence is Strictly Ballroom.

I love the film and have seen it too many times to count. I’ve watched a few other films this week as well. The other day I watched a film called Boys in the Band.

That’s based on a play from the the late 60s about some gay friends having a birthday party in a flat. It sound boring but it wasn’t.I thought that it was a really great film and it’s something I would really suggest watching. It was thought provoking and really shone a light on how gay people were treated in the 60s. It’s on Netflix and has some great actors in it. Jim Parsons, Matt Bomer, Charlie Carver, Andrew Rannells, Tuc Watkins, Zachary Quinto, Robin de Jesús, Michael Benjamin Washington and Brian Hutchinson.

So I was a knitting again this afternoon, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love going to knitting on a Sunday. It’s great to see and chat with friends, real live people and not through a computer screen. Just to sit, knit, and chat with friends, It’s amazing.

So tonight I’ve watched a cheesy movie from the early 90s. Super Mario Bros. I thought, I used to love that film when I was a kid so why not. Yesterday was Camp and today let’s go for a bit of cheese. I have gone back to camp now though.now I’ve started watching To Wong Fu, Thanks for everything! Julie Newmar. It’s another 90s film but it’s great and fun.

What ever you’re up to, have fun and stay safe!

Love and light.
