No problem

Hi there,

As promised last weekend I'm going to show you my monthly Kit and Clowder November 2019 pencil class today, but first the result of my visit at the eye specialist clinic.

Good news! After eye dripping, photos and a general eye check by a nurse, I was called into the specialists room and was told that I have 100% vision on my right eye and much to my surprise 90% vision on my left eye. My problem is that my eyes do not work together - can be remedied by a new left glass in my glasses and that I have beginning cataract. The latter will not need any operation for the next 5 - 10 years (hopefully 10 years) depending upon how fast it develops.

Well, I went back to the optician and told them what was said, and it being Black Friday, I had hoped to be able to get the glass half price since I got completely new glasses a year ago and they are not very cheap - but NO, that only applied for completely new glasses. In the end the price would be almost the same, so I thought I'll make do with a new glass in my three sets of glasses and was able to save just a little bit by doing this.

I had to leave all my glasses at the shop. They'll send them to Hungary to fit the new glass and it's going to take a couple of weeks before I see them again. Luckily I'd kept (just in case) my old glasses from last year, otherwise I would not have been able to drive home as I cannot see a thing without my glasses - which is weird considering the above message from the eye specialist. :-)

But overall it was good news! And now to the pencil class.

I love the November classes which usually feature a Christmas theme. The Paper Shelter digi is called Holy Night and it's soo cute.


We do not have the best light for taking photos here in Denmark at the moment, it's so dark outside so taking a decent photo is not possible. I have the flashlight on, which is why the colours are much lighter than they are in real life. The sky should be much darker (Holy Night). However, considering the vision problems I'm quite satisfied being able to colour within the lines even though it was a strain on the eyes.

I LOVE how the deer turned out and the clothes too. The white specks on the rear end of the deer should be done with white pencil, but I didn't think they were white enough so I used my white Poska on top of the pencil. I also used my white Poska to dot in the snow all over the image.

It was an awesome image to colour and I love the Paper Shelter images which are so cute.

I think that's all for now. Please feel free to leave me a comment if you like my projects and if you'd like to see my cards/projects etc. on a regular basis, please join my blog or my instagram.

Be happy crafting!
