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...

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

Riveting, Riverstones, Roxi, Rain, Raindotty
The first two were new to me. I quite like both of them...




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.

Snow, spring and back to work...


Tangle used: Knyt by LyndelC



 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.


 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!
