Verve, almost forgotten!

Oh, I really like challenge 355!

Verve is a tangle I used a lot, but the last couple of months I seemed to have forgotten it. So, I am very pleased to see it as the tangle for this week.

I started with a tile I colored with Ecoline, a while ago. Then made my 'string' with squares and filled them with Verve. The question was if I would draw other tangles in it, but decided not to.

What would you have done, more tangles or not?

A Christmas tile in spring

So, almost back to 'normal' health-wise :-)

I was soooooooooo happy to go outside again, especially in this (almost) spring like weather. And being back to work; just great.

The first Monday of the month, so it is an UMT: Siri, by Simone Menzel. I had to concentrate quite a bit, but that made it sort of 'zen' experience. I used a green tile and like the black and white pens on it.

To be honest the end result feels a bit Christmas-y, but nevertheless I like it.

The last heart challenge :-)

I'm late, but there is a reason for it.

Last Monday night I became ill again, luckily not the flu again, but still very unpleasant: a nasty cold! Now, on Saturday morning I'm still coughing a lot, but I'm already a lot better! Because it was extremely cold for The Netherlands, I have not left the house since Monday and I will be glad to go out again.

It was a weird week, Kees was also ill, he had a light pneumonia, so both of us doing almost nothing except for coughing :-(

So I only started my zendala for the challenge on Thursday evening and finished it yesterday.

We had to make a heart zendala and I decided to start with a little heart as the center of my zendala.

The resultant is simple but quite nice a think.

To be honest, I'm glad this was the last heart, because I'm not really into hearts.

However it was a lot of work for Laura again, so: Thanks Laura anyway!!!

Some time ago my friend Gerla and I tangled some 3Z tiles and framed them. I think this is very pretty to look at. The photo is not very good; the face you see mirrored in the glass is from the TV :-) I couldn’t make another photo because the things is not here anymore. But it will give you an idea of what we did.

Finally!!!!

Finally!!! Yesterday I found the new Gelly Roll Bright White pens in a shop here in town. It took a while for them to come to the Netherlands, but now we can buy them too.

'Nested Hearts' is the subject of challenge 352. I did not know the word 'nested', so learned something again. Next to the pleasure of the weekly challenge, there is always the benefit to learn more (and hopefully) better English by participating.

I decided to work on this special paper with only black pens and pencil and kept it quite simple.

Heart of a champion

Hearts again this week and also the Olympics as a theme.

I found that very hard to do, so it took me some days to think of how to manage this challenge.

I started with five rings and little hearts between them (sorry, not really a heart string) and then colored the rings.

Some aura's and then I had no idea how to continue. After some time sitting there and looking at the tile I decided to make a background with a pencil and so I did.

Here is the result:

Heartstring and Rimana

First I like to thank all of you that sent me kind words about recovering from the flu. That gave me a great community feeling!

I'm much better now, even went to work in the hospice again yesterday!

The challenges for this month will all be with a heart string; not really my cup of tea, but we are all different in what we like or don't like.

I had a hard time to find out what to do with this heart and the UMT Rimana by Nadine Roller. I like that tangle, but combining it????? So ... a hard time.

But, it is what it is and this is it:

The flu and Rumpus

As some of you may have read, there was no input from me for last week's challenge.

Almost two weeks ago the FLU got me, and that was a long, long time ago. Since some years I get the 'flu shot' in autumn and never had this horrible flu. But this year, the vaccination did not cover a certain mutation and that’s the one that got me (and many people in this country).

Last Sunday I did get another surprise on top of it: a urinary infection! Also not something you really want :-(

I think today is the first day I feel a little better and ... I even drank a cup of coffee (always a sign of getting better). The good thing that came out of this all: I lost the three kilo that I really needed to loose :-)

So, last night I sat at the table and tangled for the first time since I became ill. Finding out, that this week's tangle Rumpus is a real nice one to relax.

I am not very fond of the result, but the process was pleasant, especially after almost two weeks.
