I Tried a Pinterest Recipe
OK, so it wasn't an involved recipe, but a rather simple one. I had decided to make spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. I even went by the store to get some hamburger buns to make garlic bread. While waiting for the water to boil, I was on Pinterest. I saw this recipe for garlic parmesan rolls. The complete instructions were on the pin itself. I happened to have all the ingredients on hand. So I decided to make them. They were quick, easy, and very yummy!!! Here is a link to my "foods to try" board where you can find them and many other yummy recipes. Pinterest board
Enjoy, mel

More Zentangle Inspired Art
Just a quick post catching up on some pages of Zentangle inspired art that I have done over the last few weeks. Leave me a note letting me know what you think of them. I am still learning to shade and finally bought some blending sticks. May try some different pencils for shading.

More Artist Trading Cards
I think I am addicted to making artist trading cards (ATC's). I can't seem to get enough of them. I have resorted to looking through Pinterest and Google images for new ideas. I came across this one that was really nicely drawn with a sun on it. I loved the idea of the sun and the colors and so I decided to make my own version of the sun. I really loved the colors and the lines. While mine is not the original version, I did make it my own. I am also working with an old vintage book that I acquired. I really love it and would use it in everything if I could!!!! I can't remember exactly where each of these are going, but they will all be getting new homes really soon. Hope that you like these. Let me know what you think!!!

More Tangles
I started in a tangle this morning after seeing one called Phicops. I was intrigued and searched for a tutorial on how to draw it. All I could find was other drawings and posts about a challenge. So, I sat here looking at it trying to figure it out. It took me a few tries, but I think I did well for my first try. I did this one completely freehand. I did not use a string or draw out shapes to tangle in on this page. I just kind of let my mind do what it wanted to do. I still need some work on shading. Yesterday, I forgot to list my patterns I used. So, today, I am going to list the patterns that I used. In this tangle, the patterns used are: Phicops, vigne, swirly ribbon and concentric circles, onamato, hypknotix, changeling, and pipkins. I know I may have left out a couple, but some of the ones that I used didn't have a name to them that I could find. Hope you enjoy.

A Furby in the Cabinet and a Finished Tangle
I finally finished my tangle tonight. I tried to work on my shading. Still think it needs a lot of work. Let me know what you think.
My little girl bought her a Curvy with her Christmas money. I am speechless! That thing is crazy and there is NO on/off switch! You have to feed it via app. Then, if you touch it while it is asleep, it wakes up and won't shut up! So, tonight, my husband found it a new sleeping spot. He put it in the cabinet. Goodnight Furby!
