Today is lime green
Sep. 8th, 2017 04:11 pmI enjoy what they call adult coloring. I have for a long time. I used to have a piece of software that made a black outline of photographs and I used to use it to make pages to color before they came out with all the cool stuff they have now.
But, these days, being retired and all, I have discovered that I just don't have any time for it. haha. Really. There's always something that needs to be knit or sewn or a computer game that needs to be played. It's just too much to dig out the pens and stuff. Plus the clutter.
I do miss it, though so I have a new plan. I bought a spiral bound calendar (2018)/notepad/coloring book. It fits nicely here on the side table or my new desk. And it has a ton of pages with room for notes and stuff that needs to be jotted down - like stitch counts for instance.
At least to start, I'm limiting myself to a 12 pack of colored pens. And the plan is to take it one pen a day. Every morning, I'll swap out yesterday's color for today's. Yesterday's was blue, today's is green. I can skip around and color in any page or doodle I want and make notes where ever. No being tied to the calendar format. I think it's going to be fun.

I picked them because they were supposed to erase. They don't. But they don't suck, either. HOWEVER having said that... if they aren't going to erase, my favorites then have to be the ultra fine Sharpie or these:
