Day 34 - Journal 52

Journal 52's prompt this week was "television".  I love the old shows.  I grew up on I love Lucy, Bonanza, Mork and Mindy, and tons of other fun family shows.  I can't get into the "reality" craze that has hit nowadays.  I want my entertainment to take me from reality not plunge me into someone else's reality.  We made the decision several months ago to cancel our television (cable).  We rent movies a lot, but no longer am tied to the black box.  I really don't miss it.
     I painted my background and cut out my old fashioned tv.  For the border I wrote titles of show I enjoyed.  Of course, if it was an old tv, it needed the "rabbit ears and tinfoil fix".  What joy to try to get reception with foil!  The moment you sat down, it went.  That was so frustrating I am surprised we ever watched anything.

     Thank you for dropping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Every Inchie Monday and Day 33!

   The word for today was kitchen!  A kitchen in an inch?!  Oh my.  But I managed.  Here is my little teeny tiny retro kitchen -

     Have a blessed day!

Day 30, 31, and 32!

     I made it!  One entire month (and the first day of February)!  Lots of school work to do today, so I need to get started on that, but as long as it gets done I guess it doesn't matter the order.
     Day 30 is my challenge for Square One: Purely Tangled, a facebook group.  We had to use the tangle quandry.  I kept mine simple as I needed some calming zen.  Earlier in the day, as I left a business I fell!  Crashed to the sidewalk on both knees.  Not my most graceful hour, and definitely painful.  I am still extremely sore.  There was a ledge of about 3 inches and I just didn't see it.  I am very thankful I did not break any bones.  So I really needed the zen moments.  (Mostly needed to just sit).

    

       Day 31 was the day for my journal52 prompt. Remember the silhouette prompt?  Well, I finally got to redo the page.  I liked the windmill one, but this idea would not leave my head once my brother suggested it.  Ever heard the song Silhouettes on the Shade?  This is my take on that one.

     And last day 32!  I took a few minutes this morning before getting started and completed my last day of January page in my Tangle A Day calendar.  The gorgeous work over to the right is Carole Ohl's work.  It is fun to work beside a master!

     Now, I have played enough and I must do lesson plans and grade papers.  I keep hoping for a snow day.  It seems odd the rest of the "world" is digging out from under and we haven't seen a flake.  Just one good snow and then I will be waiting on spring.  Thanks for dropping by and I hope you have a blessed day.

Day 29 String Challenge

    Adele Bruno's string challenge is so much fun.  The next few weeks we are going to be using "heart" tangles.  This one was begging for some color but I just felt more traditional tonight.  Maybe next week.

      Have a blessed day!

Day 28 - Diva's Challenge

    Day 28 and here is a duo tangle for the Diva's challenge.  The two tangles are chebucto and copada.  Both are tangles I don't use very much so this really was a challenge.

     Got to hurry tonight since I have some other work (yuck) to do.  Have a blessed day!  See you tomorrow!

Day 27

     It has been almost a month of challenges - and a month of posts!  Wow!  It is amazing I have kept the pace, but I love it.  Next month though I may post a week's worth at a time. Maybe. 
     Today's post is special to me.  This was the first meeting of my new art club.  It meets after school and we just do tangles.  The students are all 3rd, 4th and 5th graders.  I never really know what the club will be like - talent or behavior.  But today's group seemed like the perfect mix.  They were so delightful to spend my afternoon with.  I wish I could post pictures of their precious faces as they concentrated on their work, but I can't.  You will have to imagine that.  Here are some shots of us at work and our first group "portrait". 

     Aren't they amazing?  Thank you for dropping by and taking a look.  You'll see more of our progress as we go along.  Have a blessed day!

Day 26

     Susy Mosh's New to Me Challenge was to use a new tangle that started with the letter U.  That was sort of hard because I didn't have a large selection of "u" tangles in my notebook.  But I chose two brand new and very interesting ones to give a try.  The flowers in the corner are Unnamed Flower by LeeAnn Denzer.  The pretty pattern down the center is Ullin by Olga.  After drawing them, I decided to use some color. 

     Thank you for dropping by and saying hello!  Have a wonderful day!
