How to Rock Rainy Days!

How to Rock Rainy Days!

It's been a miserable few days here in Donegal weather wise!
Whilst everyone else in Europe appears to be basking in sunshine, here we are having storms, high winds, rain and grey skies! Oh we are so blessed! did you hear the sarcasm in my voice then!

So what does a girl do when the weather is so awful? After she put's her headphones on, tunes them up to full blast, she then goes down the YouTube rabbit hole of autoplay music!
But being a fidget and not one to not be busy in some way, this would never be enough to entertain me on it's own! After rooting around all my crafts I decided to dig out my folder of PhD's - Projects half Done! Here I found I had not one, but three colouring books that I had started before we moved up here to Donegal last Christmas!

So for the past few days, whilst the wind has howled, rattling at the rain streaked windows, I have sat cross legged in the armchair in front of a blazing open fire, with a clipboard and pens drawing up new pages for my next adult colouring book.
I am now 18 pages in with at least another 22 to go!

18 pages in!

This one isn't a run of the mill colouring book, normally I tend to design either cute fantasy themes ,uplifting quotes and meditation patterns.
I was feeling rather annoyed when I picked up my PhD file due to the weather - I really am a sun lover so living in the only place in Europe under a thick layer of cloud really pissed me off!
As if fate had stepped in to match my mood, I found several pages I had completed, with them were forty plus pages with the quotes I had designed and printed ready to draw the pattern designs around, it just felt right to start there. Now I have 18 pages completed for my next book of sarcastic sweary quotes - All love and peace with a little go f!@k yourself!
