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...

Joey's weekly tangle challenge #59: Mumsy on black

 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...)

Needlework Tuesday

 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...

Every Inchie Monday #19: Diagram

This was a tough one... It took a few tries...

But here's my diagram of my Zen...

Tangling rain in the sun...

It's summer today... Sunny and warm... Sleeveless blouse...
And a little tangling in the sun...
Tangling rain...
 
 That's New To Me #16: R-Tangles

String #24 by Jadie Wright

Riveting, Riverstones, Roxi, Rain, Raindotty

The first two were new to me. I quite like both of them...

Needlework Tuesday

I am now up to round 30 on my Sofie's Universe.

This is so much fun and I am learning lots of new techniques and stitches.

Loving the spring time...

 I have a feeling this very creative trip that I am on in 2015 will slow down over the summer... At least it seems that this amazing spring weather we have had lately is sneaking in and stealing my creative time...

On the other hand it is breathing pure joy into my soul... There is no thing as good as feeling the sun on your face...

And spending all day (or at least as much as is left of it after work... and before dinner, lunch packs, homeworks etc...) outside makes me, and thankfully my kids too, feel so wonderfully refreshed and relaxed... I'm sleeping like a baby... In fact some nights I'm fast a sleep even before my kids!

Don't you just love the spring time?

I do!

I would hug spring if I could!

I would hold on and never let go if I could!

Actually I wouldn't.... Summer means watermelons and ice cream...

I wanna hold on to summer!

I did manage to get a little creative though...

Tuesday I received an amazingly decorated letter filled with beautiful washi tape from Sarahiousplanz on Etsy...

So I just had to get to my journal and start using some of it...

These are the pages covering last week...

I am so in love with the flowery washi... And the date mark is also a washi tape...

The pages looked a bit empty... (Did I mention the weather?) So I printed some pictues from Sunday where we were playing with my son's building set...

My daughter build a dog, made it a name tag, a bed and a vet-clinic...

My son made a transformer that turned from a man into a machinegun... I made a few guns out of the leftover pieces which my son quickly deemed to also be transformers as they could be planes too...

Good times...

As usual I wrote a little about the past week under the pictures...

Under the picture of a book I read this week I wrote a little tiny review and I tucked some challenge tiles under some other challenge tiles...

I am really loving these little black tags I bought on ebay!

I worked on my Sofie's Universe... Just a few rounds...

When I took this picture I was working on round 26...

 I am running low on the white... So I have finally made a decision on yarn and will hopefully find time to order some this weekend and have it delivered early next week and get started for real!

I can't wait!

Yesterday I trashed a couple of tiles... I just wasn't finding any Zen...

Thankfully today it went a lot better and I managed to make this little quickie for...

Tackle It Tuesday

String #4

New tangle: Dandi

Not so new tangle: Queen's crown

Somehow I just feel this string calls for simplicity...

I hope you're all sharing the sun with me...

Snow, spring and back to work...

 Every Inchie Monday #14

Tangle used: Knyt by LyndelC

Needlework Tuesday...

Sofie's Universe...

 Round 21 is done. I had a little trouble as my popcorns was too much to one side, so I decided to start in the stitch before the one the pattern suggests. I hope this won't come back to haunt me on the next round!

*crossing fingers*

I am really loving this pattern. It's just the right mix of learning new but still repetitive enough that it's not too hard.

If only I could decide whether to go ahead and order the yarn the pattern suggests (it's pretty pricy with the shipping from UK to DK...) or try and pick something in a DK shop... I still haven't found something that's just right.

Joey's Inside my sketchbook...

 The pages for the past week is done. Even though this week started with snow it finished with spring, almost summer!

I felt the need for some happy spring feely paper...

As always my journal lets you play a little game of hide and seek.

Below the zendala dare you find my tile for the Tackle it Tuesday challenge and a bookmark made for Joey's weekly tangle challenge.

No books read this week, but I watched most of season one of the UK series "Fortitude". Very exciting, thrilling, horrific and with the most beautiful scenery filmed on Iceland.

Lastly a few notes on what we did this week...

On this page I made a pocket within the pretty paper storing tangled tiles and some photos from this week.

Below the picture of my Sofie's Universe is a little note on how far along I am.

On ebay I bought a pack of the cutest little tags and they are just perfect for my Every Monday Inchies!

I had expected to use up a second set of pages for this week. As we had the whole week off I really thought I would have done a lot more tangling and drawing.

But the weather have been just amazing which calls for outdoorsy playing with the kids and of course there's the holiday family visits, house full of kids most of the time... And suddenly the week is just gone!

It's been a great holiday and I'm feeling so good and relaxed and ready to take on work!

Tuesday show me what you've got!

#whimsybykelly2015 day 95-96

Easter holidays have begun!

Hang in there... It's a long one... Covering 3 days...

So it's monday... And it's easter... Aka HOLIDAY! Aka YAY!

 

 Every Inchie Monday #13: Oak

Oh, no! Someone took an axe to my oak tree!

Or maybe just a butterknife... As it's only an inch...

Today I brought out the scratch tiles and made two "happy easter" cards for some easter eggs that I am giving away for the "gækkebrev" I sent out a couple of weeks ago. (It's a Danish tradition, you can read about it in this post...)

God påske = Happy easter...

 I think maybe I made a new border tangle on the colored tile. I quite like it! And I love how it came about all on it's own!

I added some new scratch tiles too with the easter eggs. Spreading a little creativeness along with the chocolate! :D

Sunday...

It's been a very long time since I last picked up a crochet hook... More than a year... Maybe even two... How time flies...

At least it was long enough that I had to look up the stitches! (It can be a bit confusing with the difference in UK vs US stitches with the same name...)

I was stopping by www.heatherpearson.com looking for the tangled thursday challenge but instead I found the most amazing thing on Heather's needlework tuesday post...

The reason I suddenly just HAD to dust of the crochet case was this crazy amazing CAL (crochet along) called Sofie's Universe ...

So many different stitches and colors it looks so fun to make!

Just look at this amazing piece... It's up to part 12 of 20 so the ones who got started in time is about halfway done...

What it should look like about halfway done... Amazing!

I DID NOT MAKE THIS! Follow the link to see the other 2 versions/sizes of this beauty...

I only just got started!

No, this tiny little doily is what I made most of on saturday and a little today...

I love these colors!

 This is actually just a trial run... I just wanted to make sure I was up for this pretty intense challenge before investing in new yarn (Nooo, I do not have yarn in my stash that will work for this! Well, I don't have enough of that yarn anyways! So really, I have to by new yarn... I do!)...

This is cheap cotton which I have a pretty big stash of and thus a nice range of colors... But a larger piece is going to be pretty heavy if made in cotton, so I prefer wool...

But I'm very sure there's a teddy in the house who would be a happy taker of this test run...

 

 Saturday...

"Triple B" Bible Book Biweekly Challenge 

Finally got around to finishing the second drawing for the "Triple B" Bible Book Biweekly Challenge.

The terms for the challenge have now changed. So you do not need to draw an entire page to participate, now any size goes!

I went for half a page as I have been pretty low on tangle-time this week...

 

This weeks book is "Exodus"...

E - Enyshou by Zentangle

X - X by Poppie_60

O - Ovolution by Sandra Chatelain and Ogel by Margaret Bremner (Oops... a second O tangle sneaked it's way in...)

D - Diva Dance Foxtrot by Zentangle

U - Undling by Susie Achter

S - Shing by Margaret Bremner

 Of these 7 tangles only 2 were known to me. I really love all these new tangles I learned, but especially Ovolution and Ogel.
