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.

Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope you leave me a comment; I do appreciate that a lot. Work created by fellow tanglers can be seen at 'I am the diva'.

Blessed be!

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.
