Tangled Tuesday: Steampunk Beetle #1
The one in the middle is the actual card. The other two are the practice runs in my journal. Already working on #2 which when done will be winging its way to Finland! Kinda cool that. There will be more in this series! This was inspired by tangles from Molussus (this one and this one), [...]

Work-table Wednesday
Look who’s on my work-table today! He is based on instructions from Christi Friesen’s “Under the Sea” booklet. Poor guy has had a hard life but he’s still chugging along! Trying to think of a name. All I’ve come up with is Seymour. Not sure it fits. He still needs some mica and/or chalks, baking, [...]

Tangled Tuesday: Diva Challenge #63
When I saw the Diva’s Challenge#63 I was pretty excited! Coz I had been playing with that very tangle over the weekend. I like this tangle but it is going to take a bit more playing to get comfy with it. My S-curves could use gentling. Some of the ends came out looking like squid [...]

Maybe This Way…
Okay. Trying posting from my iPhone thru Posterous to my WordPress blog… If the picture shows up, you’ll see a picture of Jess who was very proud of the words she spelled today. We’ll do more tomorrow. By way of review I was thinking to have her glue the word strips to a paper. Okay, [...]

Getting Back to It
Trying to get back into the habit of blogging. I find it nearly impossible to find time normally. Now with a ruptured disc, I’ve been considering just giving up altogether. But I hate to give up… On anything. So I’m trying to find ways to do it from my iPhone. The WordPress admin has several [...]

If FLYlady did Karate
You know how the FLY Lady has “zone” cleaning. Well, what if that concept was applied to daily karate practice. If I have 2 practice sessions a day, the first would be basics and the second be one of these and change weekly. Here’s what I’ve come up with so far: basics/drills kata sparring drills [...]

Playing with Plugins
So if anything looks wonky… it will disappear (I hope) fairly quickly.
