Hope you're feeling better soon.<br /><br />Aw cheers, Carolina! There are lots of these erasers here, different brands but all work in the same way. So useful.

You have made me decide I'll buy the electric eraser I just saw today. It's from Crayola, but it looks almost exactly as the one in your pic, and it's the only one I've ever seen in this side of the world...<br />Now I'll go check the latest step on your lovely cat's portrait :)<br />A Big hug for you,<br />CarolinaCarolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296259363171669867.post-33854031924758256952010-04-28T02:04:55.345+01:002010-04-28T02:04:55.345+01:00Minnie is lovely so far.

(Maybe its because I have a cold and have been drinking vats of ginger tea.)<br />Sorry your computer cost so much.

I don't like working on white Colourfix though, only the tinted coloured sheets.<br /><br />Thanks Felicity! That photo didn't really show the sharpener very well but it's a brand called 'Tiger' which is sold in some Lidl (supermarket) shops here. They were selling for £2 each would you believe?! It's a bit flimsy but does give a really fine, sharp point. Another hand-cranked one I use is a Faber-Castell model (cost £25!) which is also brilliant, so reliable and well-made.Janet Pantryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10285095812008777246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296259363171669867.post-63686745735620023582010-04-26T19:01:57.383+01:002010-04-26T19:01:57.383+01:00Oh, I can see already this is going to be fab!

You have lovely long points on your pencils which I'm guessing is from the sharpener in the photo - can I ask what make it is? Btw, I envy you all those lovely models you have lounging around the home! ;)Felicity Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11145205761346733464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296259363171669867.post-31094382099400824942010-04-26T12:28:31.228+01:002010-04-26T12:28:31.228+01:00What a beautiful subject Minnie makes.
