New Skill: Watercolour

On the plane ride home from Halifax, my restless hands needed to do SOMETHING, so I broke out the watercolour crayons which my DH (just figured out that this is the short form for Dear Husband. See, this computer internet thingy is a piece o' cake...) gave me for my birthday.

What I did was I coloured spots of the desired hues onto a piece of scrap paper. And then I ordered water from the flight attendant.
