Result! Well done!

My mother has a calendar and some greeting cards as well as the books.

@kdfrawg I think so. I don’t feel drawn to it myself, but she’s always enjoyed colouring. She used to fill in more pages than we did when we were children.

Very stained glass window!

My mother doesn’t like using felt tips — she likes the softer colour she gets with pencils, but I think she’s finding the books quite useful for keeping her hands busy when she’s not quite feeling up to doing other things. Since I bought her the first couple of books, other people have seen her doing it and brought more, so she has a big stack of them now.

Broadly similar. Not quite the same colour, I think.

Cute!

That’s a shame, but it doesn’t really sound as if it’s the best match for your skills.

My mother had them when my sister in law worked, so she did get a little time before they were brought back to her.

No, the hinge shouldn’t have been moving.

Just a family story. Mainly in my brother’s favour that he was just sitting reading, not out doing wild things. Most people understand the desperation for a little bit of escape when you have a baby or two in the house.
