Busy Bee: A Pictorial

-
Things have been a tad bit crazier than usual around Chez Bee these days. Lots of work and spring cleaning and lots of crafty activity in our down time.  I won't bore you with the worky stuff. but there is the results of the creative things going down.

First off, I finished the  Diva's Challenge for this week. It was a UMT (Use My Tangle) Challenge to use Camelia by Anne Marks:


I finished a tangle for a friend who  loves cats. 

I took a class on Zentangle Borders



And one on Copic Markers


And when we were cleaning the basement, I found my pine needle basket stuff and started  finishing a couple that I had left undone. 

This week the fun continues, with another class, a trip out of town, a farm visit to the library,  a slumber party with a five year old friend and a breakfast brunch. Ooooeeee! Spring is starting off with a bang!!!!

Wow! You are a true artist! All your work is outstanding. This weeks challenge is so well done with wonderful dimension because of shading. I love the cat Zentangle, super, and then lots of learning fun!

Look at you go! So accomplished! I would LOVE to take a Zentangle border class. I think it would be a game changer as to being able to create and decorate anything! Nicely done!

Very creative in all your work. Like the rope effect of Betweed in the first and the shading adds a lot of dimension. Like the tangle you used to separate the sections in the cat ZIA. Great work. Hope it was also relaxing.

Just got a comment on my last blog entry reminding me that Monday is actually the last day of November, not today. So I have TWO more entries to complete NaBloPoMo; today and TOMORROW. How sad would that have been...to blow the whole thing because I can't read a calendar? I just figured, hey, December is coming next week, might's well start it out first thing on Monday! This here is a picture of my BubberKev and I at Thanksgiving. We're taking a momentary break from strangling each other to goof at the camera. Our mamma must be so proud! Back to online Christmas shopping! Have a great Sunday evening!

Lots of New Tangle Pattern Ideas!

I've been setting aside tangles that I've created in a special file in my cabinet. When I put one in last night, I realized that I had quite a stockpile and that I hadn't put only of them out there for others to try...so here they all are. I'm not good at stepouts or at naming. Most of them are named after placed in Maine...just because. I'd love to see any tangles that you've done that use any of these patterns! Have fun and tangle on!

Wicked Wonderful Weekend

 I had a really nice weekend. I didn't expect to since I had both my Covid booster and my flu shot  on Thursday afternoon. My first of the original two Covid shots put me under the weather for about 24 hours...but I just got a headache from this one and that's about it. And since I get headaches anyway, who knows if it was from the shots or not? At any rate, I was prepared for a stay-at-home-lay-about weekend.  Life is what happens when you are making other plans.  Since I decided Friday Night that I guess I wasn't going to be incapacitated after all, I arranged to go with friend, Donna to Baraboo to the Arts and Crafts Festival. It was really nice and way bigger than I thought it would be. Baraboo is where Ringling Brothers started so there were also circus-y things all over town. So much fun! After the Fair we went to lunch at a little breakfast place and then headed to one of my fav spots, Pewett's Nest, to see the gorge and waterfall. Then we stopped at Sky Hi Apple
