A week with challenges...

The Diva's weekly challenge #220: UMT All boxed up

This is a great pattern to draw.

Muster mixer #7: Jax & Cat-kin

It's been a while since I participated in this challenge. I find it very... Challenging... Which means it takes time.

This time I am familiar with both tangles so I gave it a shot...

Hopefully I cracked the code this time!

Joey's weekly tangle challenge #63

String #6, Jax, Jetties

Inside my sketchbook

I saw this on pinterest and had to try it... Lots of straight lines and no thinking, it's so relaxing...

When I was a kid, I loved playing fold-man. I still do. And so do my kids. We use small pieces of paper, move them around to see which combinations looks funny.

Every Inchie Monday #23: Wave

That's new to me #22: "A"

Ann, Allium, Alicat

Two new tangles under my belt this week as I already knew Ann.

Monday again?? That can't be right!

Tackle it Tuesday

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

Zendala Dare #2

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...

 Every Inchie Monday #18: Leopard

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?!

The worlds worst mom...

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...
