June 15th


Happy Monday!  And welcome to a brand new week.  I hope you had the kind of weekend that you hoped to have.  One of the things that I was able to enjoy was a visit with my daughter in her "private sanctuary".  She has done an amazing job of transforming her backyard.


What you don't see here is off to the right...her vegetable garden!  What a green thumb!  Artichokes, broccoli, squash, tomatoes, carrots, beans and  
so on.  Oh, and she even has a strawberry patch.  
Oh... and I used the Rotisserie again. This time to cook a whole, marinated chicken. And OH MY!! It was so yummy!


Now for this weekend's ZIA tile.  From Suzy's "That's New to Me! Weekly Challenge the random letter this week was "R". "R" was  a duplicate,  so we were also challenged to use at least one tangle from the featured artist, who this week was Lily Popcheff.  Aside from that challenge, the focus of the Square One: Purely Zentangle FB Group was Flux.  So I covered all three by using Snuggles by Lily Popcheff, Roel by Judy Murphy and Zentangle-Original tangle Flux.  What do you think?


There's also another weekly challenge-Joey's Weekly Challenge and we are doing a monotangle challenge using the letters of the alphabet.  I missed last week, so had some catching up to do.  For last week we were challenged to use Arakus, and this week it is Bunzo.  I am using tiny Bijou tiles for the alphabet challenge.  I hope she will start over again at A when we get through all the letters.. keep it going as long as she can!


And then there was the the Diva's Challenge which this week was to use COLOUR in out tile.




That's it for this week.  Please check back next week for more. Who knows what next week will bring!  Hugz~n~Purrz, Cat

    Your tile looks as though each tangle is rolling into the next one. Great work, but you made me Hungary with all your talk of food. What a beautiful garden, I am hopeless at getting things to grow I do admire your daughter.

    Your daughter has amazing talent, must take after Mama.

    The oven seems to be a great and creative choice!

    Still diddling with doodles, nothing the rest of the world should see.

    Your lines on the Bijou tiles are so crisp and straight. I'm very impressed. :) They're lovely.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY! I hope your 4th of July was SAFE and filled with FUN. First up is my submission for Joey's Weekly Challenge  alphabet challenge. For the letter "D", Joey presented us with Dugwud by Anita Roby-Lavery. This next one is what I submitted for  Adele Bruno's "It's a String Thing" Challenge . This week was to use String #99 with patterns Tearce by Pan Pincha-Wagener, Tracery by Dianne Krumnow, CZT, and Tripoli by Maria Thomas. And then there was the Square One Focus on Munchin This next tile is for   SuzyMosh "That's New To Me" Weekly Challenge.  The random letter this week was "H", for which I chose Ha-Nuka from Yamit Fridman. "H" was a duplicate so we were also challenged to use a pattern by the featured artist Michelle Beauchamp, CZT. I chose her pattern Bradz. I did this on a tan Renaissance tile using Sakura Pigma Micron pens, Sakura White GellyRoll pen, and graphit...

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...
