Favorite things...

It's great to see more people participating in this biweekly twinchie challenge!

The zendala dare is one of my favorite challenges. Unfortunately there has been no new challenges for a long time now...
Which is why I started from the beginning and am now up to dare number 4.





A peek into my journal with some zen, inchies, books I've read and under the tile and zendala is layered more stuff I created and also notes about what we have been doing.
As you can see I'm also revisiting one of my absolute favorite tv-shows.

You should go check out Joey's "Inside my sketchbook" and participate. I love sneaking a peek into Joey's sketchbook and it would be fun to see more join in.
It doesn't have to be an actual sketchbook - anything goes!

A week in color...


 I really enjoy drawing white on black so this challenge was right up my alley...


joey's weekly tangle challenge #61: Tangle a flower shaped string
Zendala Dare #3

 

Inside my sketchbook
My son sat down next to me while I was tangling and asked if he could make a tiny drawing too!
He only wanted to color in though so I drew him a string and this is as far as he got before something else caught his attention...

Watching him I just got an urge to color in, it's so relaxing. So I made one for myself too...





 This weeks inchie I made on a piece of an actual envelope...

An Inch and a twinch...


My fifth submission for the twinchie challenge...


Inside my journal

These are the pages from week 19...
I love the pattern on this green paper... It's quite tangly...
Under the tiles I wrote little quotes from the (mouths of my kids) and what we did this week...



Usually I have drawn my inchie before seeing the others posted. This time though I was a little behind so I sneaked a peek... 
That's why I went of my first thought, the movie reel and/or popcorn/coke. That idea had already been covered in great ways...
So mine turned into this in stead...

A week in pictures...

 Another week has flown by fast as lightning!
Here is some of the creative stuff I worked on this past week...



 I have a hard time with mumsy... Compensated with colors and lots of glittery gelly roll!!
It was fun after all and I like the result despite the tricky mumsy...

Thursday my son will be 7! Incredible as it seems like just yesterday he was a baby!
I have been working on a birthday sign for his door...
Something I did a few years back and it's now a tradition of which I am lately reminded daily by my daughter... The signs stay on the door till their next birthday, so I try my best!!

Finally I got this one done...
I found the animal letters on pinterest... Let's just hope he'll love it even though it's more cute than cool...
The balloons I made with washi tape on paper...
It has been approved by the birthday committee... (Aka my daughter...)



 I put my Sofie's Universe on hold because I saw these amazing dreamcatchers on pinterest made with a doily. I just really have to try it!


Inside my journal

Last weeks pages in my journal...


And last but certainly not least...


This was a tough one... It took a few tries...
But here's my diagram of my Zen...

Monday again?? That can't be right!

I came by a tutorial by Lynn Mead on dewdrops on pinterest and just went for it...
I think it takes a little practice... But I guess it's ok for a first try... 

String #6
Pea-fea, Zonked, Beadlines



Having fun with the old zendala dares while waiting for a new one...

This was a really great template!


Maryhill, Rick's Paradox, Fasset, Beadlines

I love Maryhill, it's so beautiful, though I find it hard to fit it into a tile...
But this circular center was calling for Maryhill...
I love it when it just draws itself!


Inside my journal...
Last weeks pages in my journal...
 Last week's Tackle it Tuesday's tile is hiding out underneath Zendala dare #1...

Under two tiles is a note about a book I read this week and notes about our week...




That's not much to show for an entire week!
It seems I will be working overtime for at least the next week too...
If only there were more hours in a day...
...And more days in the weekend...
Who ever decided that we work 5 days and have only 2 days off,
when the opposite would be so much more fun?!
