What is your favorite quote or saying that sparks your creativity?

Okay guys, you caught me. I am a born slacker. I haven’t done any drawing in a couple of weeks. There, I said it. What a relief! I have been putting off creating and posting the last day of my self-imposed “One Zentangle a Day” book challenge. It’s not like the last day’s challenge is super…

Be the Change…

WARNING: Shameless plug for support ahead… Have you ever loved someone so much that your heart hurts to see them suffer? Have you ever believed in a cause so strong that you would do almost anything to support it? Then you are like me; someone who would stop at nothing to end the pain their…

Day Forty One, Creation Forty One

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 I would honor my Native…

Springtime Placemats Complete, plus a sneak peak into my next project…

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 Springtime placemats. Yeah! In case…

Success! Green Shawl is done!

Hey everybody! Exciting news (at least for me). After nearly one year and some very slow knitting, I have finally finished my lovely green shawl! Several posts ago, I mentioned that I pulled this project out of deep hibernation and finally put myself to the task of finishing this little green monster. I think I…

Day Forty, Creation Forty

Okay gang! I finally made it to day forty! This little milestone is marks nearly the end of my 42 day journey from the book One Zentangle a Day. I definitely did not create a tile every single day, but I have for the most part drawn every day since starting this quest. The in…

Day Thirty Nine, Creation Thirty Nine

Okay so today has been totally awesome! I discovered that my very first tangle I created, Lazy Eights, was published today on TanglePatterns.com! How great is that!? I have received great feedback so far and became totally pumped up! Then I became totally guilty. Yikes! I haven’t published anything in a couple of weeks and…

Some Quick Updates

Sorry for the long delay in posting again. I have been just super busy knitting the days away! Since my last post, I have started and finished two more custom orders. Can anyone say “Basic Black Cowl”? You guessed it! Another order for a basic black cowl. Who would have thought that this would have…

Flashback Friday: August 9, 2012

Since the sun is currently shining upon the Midwest, I thought I would celebrate by posting a colorful entry on my site. I know this journal page may appear boring, but this entry proves that you can fill your journal with whatever you want. If you are stuck for ideas, why not catalog some of…

Day Thirty Eight, Creation Thirty Eight

Cool! Now I get to add bag designer to my art resume! As you can tell, today’s creation involved tangling on fabric. Similar to yesterday’s post, this creation required a little forethought before diving in. First off, I needed some fabric to tangle on, so I headed over to my local craft store to scope…

Day Thirty Seven, Creation Thirty Seven

I will say up front starting from day thirty six, and including today’s creation, that all of these current challenges required some minor research and purchasing some materials. With that said, what an awesome challenge this was! Day Thirty Seven’s challenge asked us to gather some material together to create a mono Zentangle print. Now…

Day Thirty Six, Creation Thirty Six

Just seven days left in my One Zentangle a Day self-imposed challenge and what a trip it has been so far! I can’t believe I have completed Thirty-six tiles and almost just as many practice journal entries. It has been great to go back and review all the tiles I have made over the past…
