Again, with only office supplies at the ready, I took a quick stab at this week’s Diva challenge: Tipple Monotangle. Since I was so very late with my Umble Panda and Umbles and Ruflz last week, I thought that I might take an early approach on this one. My sincere hope is to revisit and […]
This week’s challenge from Laura Harms (I am the Diva) is inspired by her family’s participation in Beads of Courage, a program that supports kids with chronic or life threatening illnesses and their families. Kids get beads to support their courage for each needle stick, hospital stays, doctor appointments, surgeries and more. Normally I check […]
I’m not gonna lie, I kinda phoned in this week’s I Am the Diva challenge (All Boxed Up, using the tangle by the same name). I’m hard at work on a piece my father “commissioned” for my parents’ 60th anniversary. I’ve started that piece about 10 times now and have trashed it each time. I […]
This was a super busy week. Thing 2’s 14th (!) birthday, lots of work, and reintroduction of dairy, which did NOT go well. Hence, from the better-late-than-never gallery, my super late challenge post for this week. First, I don’t know how my baby is already 14, but someday I’ll read this and wonder how he’s […]
Greetings from Boston (actually, Cambridge) again where I am traveling for work (my day job, of course). Last night we went to Harvard Square for dinner at this cute little place called The Red House. I was delighted when I saw their menus, payment folders, and other “assets,” and even more enchanted when I learned […]
I’m sliding later and later in the week with my challenge tiles. I really like doing it earlier in the week and then watching as others’ entries come in, but I never ever peek before I do mine as the power of suggestion from the awesome work other CZTs and tanglers do is too strong. […]
I’m going on record here with this shameful truth: I’m not really a Star Wars person. Yes, I grew up in the 70s and 80s when all things Skywalker, Force, and Lightsaber were all the rage, but it just wasn’t my thing. I have watched all of the movies multiple times, and I can’t tell […]
Greetings from Boston, MA, where I am traveling for my day job. I’m in a workshop with some really smart and fun marketing people at IBM Security (that’s not sarcastic, and this is not your grandfather’s IBM) and feeling decent (not super) on Day 9 of my Whole30 journey. I also was delighted to have […]
Hello from Providence, RI! On the heels of a whirlwind of a week at CZT #18, I am way ahead of (my) schedule participating in this week’s I Am the Diva challenge #213–Traced Object Strings, though way behind some of my new fellow CZTs (*Ahem, I’m talking about YOU Suzanne Fleur ;)*) who jump in […]
Sometimes inspiration is thin, but there are always talented CZTs (Certified Zentangle Teachers) who offer challenges that cover a temporary lapse of imagination. I am the diva is one of these that I have been following for a while and haven’t really taken time to participate, so here’s my second challenge submission on her site […]
