Day Three



Today we talked about how some patterns can easily give the impression of depth, such as by overlapping and progressively smaller sizes.

The daily tangles for today were Poke Root, Festune and Hollibaugh. I used String 003 from TanglePatterns.com.


I also completed a tile for the Square One challenge today. This week we were to do a tile using the pattern XYP.

I'm finally back! Hopefully it won't be another month or so before I come here to update.  There's been a lot going on, including a wonderful vacation in Arizona! Maybe more about that later. In the meantime, here's a new tile I just finished. It's for  Diva's Weekly Challenge #218 , where we were challenged to use a white gel pen (I used Gelly Roll by Sakura) on black tile (I used an official Zentangle tile).  The tangles I used for this are Mooka and Zinger. I thought maybe that was a little too simple, so I've changed it a bit. Which one do you prefer, the original or this one? And here is black on white! Black Pigma Micron on white 3.5 x 3.5 Zentangle tile. Lightly shaded with regular graphite #2 pencil. And here again I used Mooka and Zinger. Also, some of you know that I also make jewelry. I have entered a contest to win a book about making Vintage style Jewelry . Wish me luck! I'll be back in a couple days w...

As we get ready to say goodbye to August and hello to September, I am still struggling with finding enough time for all the different things I enjoy doing. There just are not enough hours in the day, and the fact that I am working 6 days a week right now doesn't help.  But I believe that in time I will be back on track and spending time with more of the things I enjoy: zentangles, watercolour, making jewelry, crotchet, reading.... That being said, I begin this post with another entry in  Joey's Weekly Challenge. This past week was the letter "L", and Joey had us play with the tangle LinQ by Lara Williams, CZT. I've never done this tangle before and I really enjoyed it! I think I'll be using this one more in the future... such fun, with lots of possibilities for variations! This next one is for letter "M", a pattern called Maryhill, by Betsy Wilson, CZT. Off to see if I can squeeze out more creative projects before I head ba...

Keto Challenge Day Four

Image
We strayed off the "plan menu" tonight, however we DID eat something completely in keeping with the Ketogenic allowable foods.  My husband prepared some liver for us tonight. He cooked it with bacon and spread pesto on it. We each had 1/2 an avocado on the side.  It was REALLY good!  Growing up I was NOT a fan of liver at all. Fortunately I am married to a man who is quite a cook! His liver and onions is the best I've ever had, and this liver with pesto is right up there too! I want  to tell you about one of the feral cats that we've been taking care of, but I don't have time this evening. And tomorrow after work we are headed to my grandson's high school graduation!!  I'll try to get a quick post tomorrow, and will catch up for sure this weekend. Happy Thursday!  See you here tomorrow?

I'm going to change things up a bit for this post.  Recently I went on vacation in Arizona.  It was GORGEOUS.  When you go in April, you get to see the desert in bloom.  Here are just a few pictures: The vacation was amazing! Our dearest friends Art and Lisa made it a week we will never forget!  We love you, and we miss you both. We will be back soon! Well, it turns out that at some point during March or April at work, there was a kind drawing that was held as part of an incentive for a goal we reach.  I didn't know it, but each district's manager were ask to submit a few names that they felt really went the extra mile to help the district's success. My manager entered my name! I believe I found out later that I was one of three that was entered for Oregon.  Anyway, my first day back at work I got a call from Corporate congratulating me because my name had been pulled from the fishbowl! Imagine my shock, since I didn't even...
