Black Hills Majesty, Part 3

Talk about a super-long time to wait for a conclusion of a story! As I talked about in the proceeding post, I was MIA for over six months. I hid myself away from the world and took a very long hiatus from all things digital. Now that I am back, I thought I shouldn’t leave…

Still Here

I find it ironic that every couple of months I fall off the face of the planet only come back to apologize and vow never do it again. LOL Life is never that simple. I realize this is one of my longest breaks ever since starting this blog and I feel bad that I have not…

Black Hills Majesty, Part 1

It’s been over 2 months since my trip to South Dakota in May and it still feels like yesterday when we were exploring those majestic Black Hills. My husband and I traversed three states and close to 1,000 miles to experience the beauty of South Dakota’s most alluring area. Clean air, fresh pines surrounded our little…

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…

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 Twenty Six, Creation Twenty Six

My heart is heavy today. It is with sadness that I tell you that I just lost my grandmother. I found out late yesterday as I was creating this very tile. Even though I knew she was sick and could leave us anytime now, once the news was given, it is still came as a…

Day Twenty Three, Creation Twenty Three

Ahh! It’s good to be back blogging again. I realized during my short absence, that I missed blogging. Blogging afforded me the ability to talk about what I was working on, what I was feeling and sometimes allowed me to vent. Now that I am trying to get back into the habit, I am coming…

Day Thirteen, Creation Thirteen

Sorry for my little hiatus everyone. What can I say? A music event of epic proportions took over my life the entire weekend. What is this awesome music festival you ask? Lollapalooza! Lollapalooza is a fantastic musical event where over 70 bands perform for three days in Chicago. Great bands, rock ‘in music and all-around…

Day Eleven, Creation Eleven

I finally feel great this evening! After some well deserved rest a from a head-cold I have been battling, I am starting to feel human again and ready to take on my art! Day eleven brought on a new challenge for me.  The book stated I could use any tangle I learned so far to…

Day Six, Creation Six

Saturday. The day of sleeping and getting much needed rest from yet another exhausting work week. I will be the first to admit that my workdays were not filled with time-sensitive stressful projects, but I will say that if I look at another spreadsheet or have to type up another long-winded document, my brain might…
