Hello Friends, Back again and I have lost track of the days. The next few days will be really quick and just some basic coloring. The love of my life, my hubby just had double knee surgery on Tuesday. Yes! That’s TWO knees at once. He’s in great physical shape and “young” so it was recommended. Surgery went great and now it’s time to heal and do rehab. After coming home from the hospital late last night I had to color just a little to decompress. All I had to do was grab my tote.
Let’s see how this comes out when it’s finished. Just trying something new. These flowers stamps are my all time favorite flowers and love the variety in the stamp set. I will be doing a lot more with them.
Thank You all for your support and I know that you all will be praying or wishing my hubby all the best. Your thoughts and prayers are so appreciated. “See” you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

I wish you all the best!! He will be well so soon!!
The two knees at one time? I had never heard of that, it must be really difficult to move! Hope he recovers very quickly!
Love how you colored that flower wit the subtle blue outline…
So excited about the challenge! I still can’t sit long or do too much at a desk, but I sure do want to learn and follow again~
I adore your coloring skills and thank you for sharing….
OMG!! — Your hubby is a gem…..my hip replacement surgery WAS a lot harder than U ever expected…..I can’t even imagine have surgery on both KNEES…..send him my well wishes!
God Bless you both and hope he has an amazing recovery~
Lovely flowers, Kathy . Did you just draw the circles and watercolor, or did you mask and sponge them, if you don’t mind sharing? Thanks again for all your work on arranging and monitoring this challenge. I have really been enjoying it! I added your hubby to my prayer list.
Your card is stunning Kathy! Great therapy, maybe your husband could have a go at colouring too!
Okay…SO wish I had copics now!! LOL I love your Flower garden flowers so far!
Best wishes to your DH and quick healing! 😀

Please give us a tutorial on how you did the circles in the background. Very cool effect. I am loving this challenge.
Thanks Mimi I will make a note of that. 🙂
Sending healing thoughts and prayers your way! Hope hubby’s recovery is quick and as painless as possible!!
LOVE how you colored the flowers and the circles around it are very pretty! LOVE them! I will be posting my Day 9 later tonight!
Don’t let hubby run you ragged getting things for him! LOL I have always found that men need more TLC when they are down and out than a woman does. Guess that just goes to show that we really ARE the stronger sex! LOL
Wishing your hubby the best with his recovery. I have had two knee replacements, but I just can’t imagine both at once. Best of luck to him….work that recovery hard.
I had the same surgery,painful,I’ll say a prayer for speedy rec overy.I love the detail in this stamp.Gorgeous coloring
Best wishes for a speedy recovery for hubby. I like the circles you added to this image and your coloring is so pretty.
Sending healing thoughts and prayers for his speedy recovery…
Oh both knees at once. I am so glad to hear the surgery went great. I will be keeping him in my prayers for a easy recovery and healing.
I love those flowers and I believe I have a stamp that looks like that. Beautiful coloring.
I like the circles for the background.
Love all this colouring! Best wishes for your hubby’s speedy recovery. Make sure he doesn’t try to push faster than they recommend tho. My Dad has had 4 hip surgeries. Yep. 4. They always have to struggle with him to keep him from doing more too soon. Old firefighter. Can’t keep them down!
Love how you decompress and I’m sure it was a stressful day. Wishing your husband a speedy recovery. And you many colorful days ahead.
Wishing your hubby a speedy recovery! Rehab is the key–my brother has had both knees & both hips replaced (psoriatic arthritis) & he got better ROM with his last knee than his healthy in shape surgeon–all because he was faithful in doing the painful rehab. OK, off my nurse soapbox–LOL! Looks like this will be an interesting piece when done. Love those flowers, too!
Sending healing thoughts! Gorgeous card!
Beautiful flower coloring Kathy, and my, do I understand your hubby’s surgery! I’m guessing he had double knee replacements, he is indeed a courageous guy! I worked at a hospital that only did joint replacements for several years, just follow to a T all the directions they give you (pay special attention to the PT) and he will do great. Hang in there and yes, coloring daily to decompress is an awesome idea, get hubby coloring too, it will help control his pain and keep him from doing too much too fast.
Wow, Kathy, you sure have a lot on your plate. I hope your hubby has a speedy recovery. Love this flower. Thanks for sharing and hosting this coloring challenge. I find coloring relaxing and a way to unwind from a hectic day.
Ooooh, I like the way this card is going. Very pretty. Can’t wait to see it finished. Well, we are almost into the double digits of this challenge. I have been colouring one thing or another each day. So much fun. ( I am not on Instagram OR twitter nor am I terribly computer savvy, but I AM playing along.)
I would love to hear more about your coloring techniques used on today’s project when you feel so inspired. Hope hubby has a quick healing time. Give him lots of love!
Hope he recovers well. Your flowers look lovely!
Praying for your husband’s quick and complete recovery, and for strength for you as you go through this by his side. God bless you both!
Sending lots of healing vibrations your way and I’m hoping your DH will recover soon. It must be pretty tough having both knees done at the same time, regardless of his age and physical condition. Hope you can get some energy from the few moments you’ll have to colour while DH is making his recovery. Love where this image is going. The circles make for a great background.

just a quick note to say best wishes for a quick recovery for your husband (and hang in there to you – the caretaker 🙂 ) and thanks for this wonderful challenge. It’s really motivated me!
Love this simple flower and pretty background circles. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful card esp. after such a stress-filled day. My brain wouldn’t even have a design in mind! Love and prayers to you both.
Prayers for you and your husband! I hope he has a speedy recovery. Love the flowers and the card. I am learning so many things from you. Thank you!!
So pretty! I’m behind on my coloring but not on looking at yours. 🙂 So glad Mitch is doing well. XO
Wishing your DH a speedy recovery!! Very pretty flowers Kathy! Thanks for keeping up with challenge during this stressful time!
I was so impressed to see your post after the traumatic couple of days you must have had. I didn’t get any colouring done yesterday because of obligations in my non crafting life but I wasn’t visiting my hubby in the hospital! You have enabled me to order this flower stamp set after seeing your beautiful work, by the way.
can’t wait to see the finished card… Healing wishes for your guy, he’s brave to go for the “whole ball of wax ” at once…
Wishing your hubby a speedy recovery!!! Kathy, card is beautiful!!! Thank you!!!
Hope your hubby recovers well and quickly. And positive prayers and thoughts are being sent to both of you because it is not easy taking care of a bed bound person. As usual your coloring is inspirational.
Beautiful coloring. 😀
I wish your husband fast recovery.
Wow, two knees at once is a real challenge. Good thing he is in good shape. I wish a quick recovery for him. I am soooo bad, I have been doing my coloring but have not yet uploaded any of it; just can’t decide the best way to do it….arghhhh. This has been so much fun so far and very inspiring for me. Thanks so much for this challenge.
Hoping for a speedy recovery! Pretty stamp set!
Wishing your hubs a speedy recovery!! Pretty flowers!
Thoughts and Prayers for hubby’s speedy recovery and for you as well ♥
Can’t wait to see the end result of this project. It’s beautiful already….can only imagine it’s gorgeousness in the end!
So happy to hear that the love of your life’s knee surgery went well. I’ve had friends who did both at the same time and had great results. Just have to put in the rehab time, not fun but worth it. Love your flowers, so pretty. I can now uncross those fingers that I’ve been keeping crossed for you! Now you can take a deep breath and relax a bit.
OMGosh i hope he heals quickly & you’re taking care of yourself too! be sure to rest as much as you can too!! These are gorgeous flowers & i’m glad you got a few minutes to decompress & get some coloring time in!
sending prayers & good thoughts!!
Double knees? Wow!!! Get well wishes to hubby! For you Kathy, breathe, relax and reboot daily! Love sent from Oklahoma !
BEAUTIFUL flowers & colouring Kathy!!!
I’m really enjoying how you include the blue shading around the outer edges – on my list to try and another reason for me to get some Copics too 🙂
Wishing your husband a speedy recovery!!! Two knees at once is going to be a challenge being fit will really help and the bonus is one surgery & one recovery – I do hydrotherapy each week at the local rehab hospital and most of the patients have had knee or hip replacements and I am in awe of how well surgeons have perfected things these days, so I hope he is mobile & pain-free soon!!!
Ohhh Kathy, hope he has a swift recovery!
Wishing your husband a speedy recovery … and colouring is a great way to de-stress!
Best wishes and speedy recovery for the hubby. Prayers for you too, Kathy. Being a caregiver(sometime willing slave) is a big job. Tks. for sharing all these great ways to add color to our projects.
I hope he heals quickly. I have loved having crafty time each day because of your challenge.
Wow…thanks for the video Kathy. Love this technique. I’m glad to hear your hubby is recuperating well. This challenge has been so much fun, and I have enjoyed contributing. I love to do Zentangle, so was happy to see your doodling today. I think I will submit a tangled colored piece today. Thanks so much for your inspiration!
Sending prayers to Mitch for a speedy recovery and hugs to you, his nurse! XO
The Lord give your husband a quick and speedy recovery in Jesus’ Name. I will continue to pray. Looking forward to a good report.
Hi Kathy….just tuned in today and read that your hubby had bi-lateral knee surgery. Was it replacements? I had both knees replaced about 8yrs ago and it gave me a new lease on life. I could not walk without pain or stumbling. I had bone on bone rubbing. My surgeries were sucessful..but please tell your hubs for me that rehab is a MUST. You got to get the knee bended to “o”. My first one was horrible (the rehab). The second knee surgery, I aced it. It took 2 days to get to zero fully bent. This was (getting to zero) you will NOT walk with a limp. That was important to me. Prayers are going up in your name for his full recovery. Liking what im seeing with your 30 days of coloring expo. Keep up the good work. I mean great work! hugs. Connie
