Cuckoo Clock Cat!

My latest finished page from the Creative Cats book...my favorite coloring book so far.  I love her designs!  Am now working on a page in her Owls book, the one with the Owl and the Pussycat in their boat.

How long did this take, @Tikobaby?  I SEVERELY love it!

Well, I worked on it over several evenings, but not all in a row since sometimes after working my eyes are too tired to color and I don't want to make mistakes. Also, some days I worked on my photography and had to edit and deal with a lot of images. I've never done one of these cat pages all in one sitting...they are too intricate and I like to take my time.  Guessing between 4-6 hours?  Not really sure.  Am so glad you like it!

Yes,  I love the Creative Cats book...it's my favorite so far.  All the Creative Haven books seem to be very high quality. It's a matter of what you feel drawn to color and how intricate you want the designs to be.  I have C. Cats, Owls, NatureScapes, and the Peacock Designs books.  Am really enjoying coloring!  Love the Prismacolor Premier markers with the brush tips, Copic Sketch and Winsor & Newton markers also.

That's not as long as I would have expected. There's a lot of intricate stuff in there. I have a hard time stopping once I start, to my own detriment, because I end up being unable to see what I'm doing. After one such marathon I literally saw double FOR HOURS. Four car headlights, two red traffic lights, etc. Perhaps I shouldn't have been driving?  Keep 'em coming, @Tikobaby, you rock!

You are very kind and encouraging...thank you, Fascinated!   It may have taken longer...really can't tell because time just flies by when I'm coloring.  I'm working on a page from the Owls book now. It's not as intricate, so it won't take as long.  Maybe I can try to pay more attention to how long it takes!  It sounds like when you color, you really get into it also, but I don't think you should be driving when you're seeing double!  Try and rest your eyes more. My right eye often starts twitching when I'm coloring and most of the time, I just ignore it, but sometimes I have to stop. 

Oh...earlier today I ordered more Prismacolors on sale at the blick art supply website. Yay! More colors!

I love this book.   If you haven't seen my personal blog, I have some comments on various coloring supplies that might help you.

Would you like to join this blog, so you can post your work for all of us to see?

Yay.  I'm glad you were able to get some markers from blick.  Those prices were so good.  I spent more than I intended to, but I'll just not buy anything else for a while.  I don't really need to buy anything at all at this point, but I am weak :P 

I love this one, that lavender is SO gorgeous and I love that it has no "streaks."  It just looks so soft.    I cant' wait till the dogs book comes out.  I was going to pre-order it, but since it's not until May I decided to wait.    I did a search for creative haven coloring books and then sorted by publication date and found a bunch of new ones coming out that I didn't have on my wish list.    Before the first one comes out, I may do a big pre-order of all the ones I want and then I'll have books coming randomly for a few months.   Nice to get a little package in the mail once in a while.

I spent more than I should have because I am weak also when it comes to art supplies!  Mrs. Baby is too generous and tells me to "get whatever you want", but I don't think she understands how MUCH I want!  So I do try to rein myself in.  I have a lot of upcoming new coloring books on my Amazon Wish List. They aren't coming out for a few months. One is the Dazzling Dogs one and there's one about art deco ancient Egyptian designs that I can't wait to get!  I have drawn my own ancient Egyptian designs just so I could color them because I love that kind of thing. The jewelry in King Tut's tomb is gorgeous and I drew and colored my version of the golden face mask too. Can't remember where I put that sketchbook, though. 

The lavender color is called "Orchid" and it's a Winsor & Newton ProMarker.  I LOVE it too!

We need a jewellery book!  (My auto correct preferred 'few elderly'!)

(Plus, I'm away and going through withdrawal.)

I'd love a book with ancient jewelry to color!  Or Faberge jewelry from the Imperial Russia era.

That would be awesome. It would be fun if we all coloured the same picture. I'm imagining the gorgeous colours. There must be stuff like this available?  I will search.

That would be a fun once a month activity or something.   Post a design and we all color and post our results.

      I hate completely open concept living. Like a totally open kitchen, living room, and dining room. And then a huge two story living room that’s open to upstairs. Where all the bedrooms are. I always think you must be quiet in a house like that. Because the noise would travel everywhere so easily. Plus like you said, everyone can see your messy kitchen. We only have 2 bathrooms in our house. I can’t imagine having a ton of toilets to clean. I really hate scrubbing toilets. 

      We have 2 bathrooms and a half bathroom in our house, and yes, cleaning 3 toilets sucks big time.   We decided to hire a house cleaner to come and clean every other week, and I am beyond thankful we did.

      Hmm, Braggie spent $4,000 on a fridge with leaky parts that have been replaced once already? 🤔🙄  I guess when all you care about are how things look,  why bother reading performance reviews and buy something that actually works without any issues.

      Having been to people's homes for both piano lessons and dog training, I hate open floor plans. It's such a pleasure to just close a door to contain sound, or to keep puppies from danger with a door or baby gate.

      I think this is a spin off of open plan living - you can't just shut a door and hide the mess. The trend here that I find absolutely mindblowing is a bathroom per bedroom - who's cleaning them all??

      I read last year or so that the new trend for kitchens is to have a messy kitchen next door. For the things that make a kitchen messy, like cooking food

      John MacArthur is being John MacArthur. The most concerning part of this is that there's a huge nouthetic counseling school run at Masters University.

      The guy sitting next to him staring grimly is Costi Hinn who folded like a wet paper towel when he questioned Doug Wilson about all his sex abuse scandals. One wonders if he might still have a little PTSD from Doug doxxing him.
