I am so loving this week and time off from work! I needed this break. I have been able to get some crafting done, a few things around the house, and spend time enjoying a new computer game that Ray and I are loving. Yep, good break. Not to mention sleeping in.
For Every Inchie Monday the word was crochet. I had a great grandmother who crocheted all the time. She did such beautiful work. There would always be a special crocheted Christmas item for all her family. A while back I tried my hand at tatting (crocheting lace like items). I made some snowflakes for our tree, some doilies, and a few other small items. It was fun but not what I would say relaxing. Now I am not sure my eyesight would be able to do this. Probably not. But for my inchie I went to my old thread basket and found a scrap I had practiced on. I cut it so it would fit my inchie and there you have it!
It seems like the tangle hollibaugh has been a focus of a lot of challenges lately. Diva wanted it to be the focus of her "back to basics" challenge this week.
Made by Joey's challenge #88 was to do a monotangle with the tangle Yuma. I never used this one so much. I watch one of Ellen Wolters's videos on drawing Yuma and actually found myself liking this tangle.
Now I think I will head off and work on some shrink plastic ornaments for some Christmas presents. I will show them to you later. Take care and have a blessed day.
Both tiles are beautiful
ReplyDeleteYou made a great success of Yuma, which I can't seem to make "work".I must try harder, I think. I love the vaguely organic pincushion for the Diva Challenge and your inchie reminds me that I am half way through making a crochet soft toy for my grandson and I really must get on with it.
ReplyDeleteWow! I tried tatting but am a failure & so far I've not ventured into the zendoodle world.

Clever inchie and you have made Yuma work very well. I must watch that video. Glad you are having a good break, I wonder which game you are enjoying at the moment.

DeleteOhhhhh computer games ..... I like playing, but sometimes I play too much :-(
ReplyDeleteLove the Hollibaugh tile.
Sweet little inchie. I know what you mean about seeing those tiny stitches though. The other pieces are very nice as well. Glad you had a few days off!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, love it all. I've been in Mario cart land with 11yr old grandson. Enjoy your holidays.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tiles!
ReplyDeleteVery nice tangle challenges! The pops of green on your Yuma add so much to the overall look, I must remember that it doesn't always take much colour to add a lot of impact!
