Two birds in one

So last Christmas, I got a couple of presents that I thought would make for good hobbies; an adult coloring book from my parents, and an artist's set from my grandparents. At the time, it seemed as though they were things I could really get into, but I kept running into problems that made me not really want to make use of either of them. Coloring in the book took too long and made my hand hurt, which was not enjoyable, and I could never think of anything worth creating with the artist's loft. As a result, they sort of both faded into the back of my mind where the other unimportant things lie. 

I've been looking for more hobbies to take the place of computer time recently, and I think I've found something worth doing. By combining the watercolors from the artist's set with the coloring book, I can create a much more enjoyable experience than either of them separately provided me. It's much less tedious, it's easier on my hand, and I still get to make use of both of them. Maybe I'll post pictures up here every now and then. 

It's nice when you can make use of old things, isn't it?
