An ice storm is tapping at my window while this orange and cream sweetie snuggles down.

Finished swatching and organising the watercolours in their new home. Hoping to steal an hour or two in the evening to play.

Small swatches of watercolor pinned to a cork board in a gold frame, organised by color in 11 rows in this order: yellow, orange, red, purple, blue, green, browns, black, metallics, white. Wooden watercolor palette with half pans of watercolor in two trays. There are magnets in the corner of the trays. There is a lid with a brass piece and an image of a black cat one a bed of green leaves with a mouse in its mouth and a flame over its head. The piece is by Nana William.

Progress Day 3

3 hours to finish!

Instructions and steps are detailed and easy to follow. I'm pretty happy with the result and it's a nice addition to my desk decor. Would I want another? Not sure, since I wouldn't know where to put it.

More notes below:

Progress Day 2

3 hours of work. It's really easy to get hyper-focussed with this.

I thought I would be clever and not glue the books in place per instructions, so I could rearrange them as I liked. That lasted right up until I jostled the shelves getting them installed. 🫠

Full on front view of study area in magical apothecary with L shaped desk area. It's a diorama made of wood and paper. There are cabinets above the desk at the back wall framing a portrait of three cats. A variety of bottles filled with different substances sits on top the cabinets. On the left walk is a window with Gothic arches to the left and shelves to the right. Above the window is a shelf holding books and a wicker basket. There is a black cat sitting on a gothic backed chair centered on a rug in front of the desk. The desk holds two potions, a crystal ball, a lit candelabra, an open book, and a witch's hat. The bookshelf to the right has a sloped filigree side. It rests on top of a set of apothecary drawers, two of which are open and hold scrolls. There are 9 cubbies in the shelf. (Top to bottom, left to right). The first cubby holds a potion, the second a star shaped award, the third a collection of scrolls (this is the smallest cubby), the fourth a globe, the fifth an astrological wheel on a plate, the sixth a number of books, the seventh is empty, the eighth has a number of books, and the ninth a large wicker basket with lid. The scene is lit by an LED hidden behind a sign that says "Magic" View of window in diorama as described in previous image. View of shelves as described in first image. Close up of cat on chair as described in first image.

Progress Day 1

Got most of the loft done in 3-4ish (?) hours. I stayed up way too late.

Cauldron was neat, but finicky. One of the curved panels broke. I saved it with glue and hid it with strategic placement. The panels also kept popping off the ribs, which meant more glue.

Partially completed second floor of a witchy apothecary book nook diy kit. There is a round window with a view of a castle, bookshelves with potions and a skull, a cat on the bookshelf, a cauldron with a skull topped stirring stick and a desk with books, potions and scrolls. There is a clock on the wall and pennants.

Finally working on a DIY book nook that @locutusofborb.bsky.social got me ages ago.

Had quite the spread to welcome in the new year at my mum's.

Just finished swatching and shuffling around the half pans in the new palette. I'll do reference sheets for everything after I reorganize the bottom layer of neutrals and metallics.

AKA smashing two impulse buy watercolor sets into one I will (hopefully) use more often.

Surprise back pain this Monday. That said, made a bit of progress towards swatching my collection of watercolours. 🖌️
