The day has finally arrived! I final got off the procrastination bus and completed the last drawing for my self imposed challenge “One Zentangle a Day” from the book by Beckah Krahula! I knew going in that I would not be able to truly complete this task in six weeks,…

Okay readers. Enough is enough. I need to stop knitting and start creating more art! I know I am tough on myself, and I logically know I have been truly up to my ears in knitting projects since April. I just haven’t made my other passion important enough. If you are…

Gosh! I just realized today that it’s been well over a month since my last post! This by no way indicates that I have stopped knitting altogether. Quite the contrary! I have been knitting my nights and weekends away. Last time, I had spoken that I had completed my first lace scarf.…

One more day to go and I will be finished at last with my One Zentangle a Day challenge! Today’s task asked to incorporate traditional folk symbols and use them as tangles. I gave this challenge a lot of thought and research (hence the delay in posting this challenge) and decided that…

Happy Monday everyone! Today I am feeling good about the progress I made over the weekend. I spring cleaned around the house. Washed blankets, sheets, fluffed pillows, cleaned closets; you name it, we probably did it. Along with all that spring cleaning, I finally put the finishing touches on my…
