The spontaneous reaction

After reading the wonderful Missive Maven blog I felt I really want to write her a letter!
I prepared a paper by painting our garden flowers to the left down corner. Then I used a flower stamp and finally drew a little bit similar flower to the envelope by using drawing ink and coloured pencils. - I know this is amateurish, but I happily felt I had got mail art as my new dear hobby!

    Hi - I just saw this from Ilona's linking to it at her blog. This is beautiful! I don't think enough people do enough watercolour anymore, and certainly not as well as you did.

    Hi Stephanie!
    Thank you for your nice comment!
    I'm glad that you found my blog via Ilona's blog, and that I now also found your Sunbeam Soapbox blog, which interests me, because also I like knitting!

    :) Well good thing I'm starting to get out of my knitting funk and post more again. I haven't been knitting a whole lot since January and now I really really want to settle in and knit. I think it's because of autumn.

    I'm very slow in knitting, I just knit every now and then, so that's why I very seldom get something ready. But I really like knitting and I always have something ongoing regarding it. Actually in my profile picture I'm using one of my favourite knittings, but because the profile picture is just a part of the original picture, the knitting can't really be seen there. I could and would like to show you the original picture but I didn't find a way to attach it here in the comment.

    Yeah, unless I'm really stressed out I'm a slow knitter too. I got socks done fairly often, but nothing else. Sometimes a sweater a year. (Although this year is far too busy for that.)

    My e-mail address is in my profile, I think. You could send me a picture there! I'd like to see it.
