WOYWW 180

What’s on my workdesk this Wednesday? Not a lot, if the truth be told – just stuff dumped on there waiting to be sorted out, like receipts, bank statements and boring stuff like that.

I’ve no photo worth showing this week, so I’ll just show you one from my last post, about zentangles – I’ve started doing them again after a bit of a break, and hoping to revamp my journal so it’s a lot easier to find the patterns I want – see that post for details.

Here is a page from my journal that I drew yesterday, showing how you can combine two patterns in one tangle – both using the pattern Huggins, with another (border) design incorporated. I love this technique, and think it works well!

It’s been quite a week. On Saturday night my hubby was up all night, throwing up and feeling appalling, with the tummy bug that’s going round. Sunday he slept most of the day, and had another pretty bad night, and is only now starting to feel himself again. Fortunately I’ve escaped it so far. We had to go to the dentist today (check-up only) and tonight we had a friend round. I still haven’t started the enormous pile of ironing, still haven’t done last month’s accounts… but I’ve done some zentangles, and I’ve done some knitting!

I also finished my Remembrance page for my Art Journal:

If you want to see the post about how I did it, and the separate post about making the poppies, click here and here respectively.

For anyone who doesn’t know what on earth this WOYWW business is, hop over to Julia’s blog (click the WOYWW link in my sidebar) and join in the world’s biggest and best nosey fest where we show each other our workdesks, warts and all.

Happy WOYWW everyone.

  1. Hi Shoshi, it's really late - or should that be early - but as you're here I thought I'd pop in and respond to your comments ... both of them :) Yes, you did comment twice to two separate posts, both comments much appreciated. I love your Remembrance page - the illustration of the soldier, the barbed wire and the plane are very evocative of the time and the poppies are beautiful. My father was also in the Royal Engineers, fortunately only for the last few months of the war so one that came home. Sorry to read that you husband has been so unwell - this virus is a nasty one it seems and you are lucky to have avoided it. Take care and keep well, and have a great WOYWW.

  11. That page is so lovely Shoshi. I have a similar file for poppies but I have alwsys used six petals, and I think yours' with only four is more effective.
    I love the Zentangles, especially the top one.
    I hope you don't get the bug too. Take care.

  12. The tangles are gorgeous (as is your handwriting), and so are your journal pages. Sorry to hear your husband's not been well, hope you manage to steer clear! Happy WOYWW!

  13. Hi Shoshi great tangles. I love making new tangles myself. It is amazing how quickly learning a few patterns and then perhaps making a mistake (my usual trick) actually reveals another pattern! My Mum made a fab butterfly pattern when she detoured from plan A. Hope hubby is feeling better - there seems to have been a lot of horrible viruses about lately. We need a cold snap I think. Happy WOYWW to you from Helen 30

  21. Zentangles have escaped me but they look interesting if a tad complicated. The jpournal pages are just perfect for the sentiment. Love the poppies.
