Back again with my second entry for the current letter at The Craft Barn Alpha Challenge. Our letter this time is D. Here I've chosen the word doodle. I took the opportunity to practise my Zentangle. I used some Craftwork Cards mini templates for the butterflies and flowers.Then I doodled away with various size tip pens and a bit of pencil shading at the end. Took a while to do and I did enjoy it.
If you've not tried Zentangle, have a go.

Last night my Mum said there was to be a meteor shower, and where we are in the wonderful Welsh country is ideal to see it. It was cloudy so not expecting much as last year I didn't see any. I'm there looking up stretching my head further back to see as much sky as possible til I almost ended up flat on it, Wow was I in for a surprise. I saw my first ever shooting star. Not just one either I saw eight in total and three were really big ,bright and trailed the most wondrous lights. I was in awe and very impressed that I'd witnessed something so awesome. Apparently some of the meteor shower wouldn't be seen the like of for another 200 years. Yes I made a wish or two. Fingers crossed could do with a bit of good luck for a change. Still outside I heard a scuffling noise and thought something was trying to scramble up the decking. Expecting something to jump out at me any moment I frantically searched my pockets for my phone having a torch on it. Instead of just going inside. So flashlight on I was very brave and went to investigate. Now what did I find? A cute little hedgehog. Lol. I honestly thought the amount of noise warranted something much bigger. I felt rather silly. It was nice to watch our night time visitor, but bed was calling and it was cold, so I bid it goodnight and went inside.
A marvellous end to our holiday as tomorrow we head home as long as the RAC takes us.
Happy Crafting

ReplyDeleteSuch a great post! The meteor shower sounds amazing - wish I could have seen it. We once had a hedgehog pair under our compost heap and they used to come out and lap up cat food, so adorable. Your pages are also so lovely. Julie Ann xx

I love your zentagling! I really must have a go at this, though I think I would be rubbish.
ReplyDeleteHedgehogs are so noisy, especially when amorous if you know what I mean!

I started zentangling recently and love it. So I can totally appreciate the amount of work and time here. Well done!
