String #13...

Color: Microns and colored pencils

#whimsybykelly2015 day 59

Kelly is having a giveaway on her blog today, so head on over and drop a line...

Going Diva style...

I just love this weekend... So much time and nothing at all that I have to do...

The cleaning is out of the way - the laundry is done...

We're having leftovers for dinner today... Easy peasy...

I am so feeling the zen...

So much I decided to do the Diva challenges all the way from #1...

Well maybe not all today...

But the first 6 then... Great challenges!

I also decided to use only tangles that I already know - a little practice is good...
All though Ixorus is new - I really love that one... It's a keeper!

Diva #1: Simplicity - Tangle used: Mooka

Diva #2: Two pencil string - Tangles used: Up N Down, Copada, Cresent moon, Unyun, Agua

Diva #3: Eyes Wide Shut - Tangles used: Isochor, Locar and some swirlyness

Diva #4: Starry Eyed Surprise - Tangles used: Arukas, Joy, Indy-rella, Ahh

 Diva #5: Orbs - Tangles used: Tipple, Chainlette, Jetties, Cruffle, Sedgling, Nipa, Vitrivius, Bulb lantern

Diva #6: Ixorus - Tangles used: Ixorus, Isochor, Ahh

I'm feeling the love for #4...  And for the music the Diva supplied for it...

The worlds worst mom...

#whimsybykelly2015 day 30
Tackle it tuesday #58
It's a string thing #77

... That's me... It feels like that today...

My beautiful, sweet little guy was telling me about his day.

How his legs were hurting because he had walked through the city (there's a lot of hills...) visiting several places and back to school...

He told me all about what they did and where they ate their lunch...

Hey - wait a minute... Lunch... Not from the fridge... From his schoolbag...

Bag! Oh, S***... So he's been carrying his schoolbag with all his books around all day...

All because his mom forgot about the their outing...

And to make matters worse his lunch was leftovers of his favorite dish which he was going to heat in the microwave they have in the classroom... He ate it cold! And a yogurt... Which must have been kinda lukewarm...

Not a word of complaint from him... Oh, how I love that boy...

Thankfully I had a plate with a freshly baked sausage roll and an apple/chocolate muffin ready for him when he got home...

So maybe I'm not the worst mom on earth... But pretty close...

Now let's just forget all about that and move on to some happy colorful zen stuff...

Yesterday's promt in the #whimsybykelly2015 challenge was to make something colorful...

So that's what I did today!

I have to say it's so not the last time my colored microns will find their way into a tile!

Tickled to Tangle: It's a string thing #77

String #77

Heartstrings - Heartvine - Luv-a

I'm very happy with this tile and very glad I resisted the urge to fill the spaces in Luv-a with tipple - it was a battle...

And what a lovely string to work with!

Artful creations: Tackle it Tuesday #58: A B C

String #6

Agua - Box spirals - Cruffle - Copada

Have you noticed string #6 is the letter S if you turn your tile?

My daughter told me while I was tangeling this... Never crossed my mind...

S just happens to be the initial of both my kids names so this one is for my amazing son!

I'll have to do another tomorrow for my daughter... Great string!

And again I love the colors...

 

Thanks to Kelly for the color promt...

Diva #202...

#whimsybykelly2015 day 29
I am the diva challenge #202

Another two new tangles under my belt... Yay!

The Diva's Weekly Challenge #202:

DuoTangle: Chebucto vs Copada

I used string #8

Copada is really pretty and nice to draw - not so much chebucto... 

It gives me an urge to find a ruler...
