Have you been busy? We haven't been doing much but sitting on the porch in the mornings and again in the evenings. That takes me away from the computer, which is good for my brain but puts me behind in posting.
For Inktober Day 8, watch. I combined the watch with the Scavenger Hunt #9 quarter and #10 money. I numbered the Inktober as 7. Oh well, I have the right number of sketches.
For Inktober Day 9, pressure - I got out the old pressure cooker. I use it mostly for tamales at Christmas. I have an electric one that I use for beans and soups.
For the Scavenger Hunt 696 https://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/topic/scavenger-hunt-696-oct-01-oct-09/
# 11 - kettle, subbing the ice tea maker Jennie gave me for my birthday. These are in the big book done with a Zig Millenneum pen.
I was making a birthday card this morning and sketched some geraniums with the Lamy pen on a watercolor card. When I went to put some watercolor on it I realized that the Lamy pen is not waterproof and the black ran into the red of the flower. Drat, why had I forgotten that. It just made it darker which I caught, but had to be careful with the rest, not to touch the ink lines in the bright part of the flowers and leaves and background. We were in a hurry to mail it this morning and I didn't get a scan of the card. You will have to use your imagination. And, a big reminder to me that the Lamy ink doesn't take water!
Hope your weekend goes well and your day is beautiful as it is here.

Why is it that when you are in a hurry, things go wrong. I matted two little watercolors the other day and managed to get water on both mats. Toby's mom used to say, "The hurrier I go, the behinder I get."
Bag Blog, you are so right. That is a good saying. Gene always says, "If you don't have time to do it right, what makes you think you have time to do it over?" Sigh....
i keep thinking about getting a pressure cooker, but no idea where we would put it even tho it might come in handy for cooking somethings
Jennifer Rose, the pressure cookers take up lots of space and I only use them for beans and tamales. The electric one I have says it is a good rice cooker but I haven't tried it for that. So you might just take longer to cook beans and save space. Ha.
