Adult colouring...???

I was going to give in and buy myself a Harry Potter colouring book, then, I found a better alternative.

Last night I realized how much embroidery is like colouring. You just fill in the lines and spaces with thread, and when you're finished, you have something useful, instead of just a paper filled with pretty colours.
I did find this combination of navy blue and peach quite unique, and very pretty.

So I finshed this, and have started a new project. Though the new shirt is taking considerably longer.

I haven't given up on the idea of a Harry Potter colouring book yet though... Problem is I need to find a way to stop my toddler from eating the colour pencils and crayons...Any suggestions?
