My growing boys!
The are growing up so fast and I love seeing the relationship between them grow as they are more able to play and communicate with each other.
I've not used this blog for about a year. There has been a lot going on at home as my husband has been off work ill. Hopefully that is now all resolved and he will be able to get back to sea fairly soon and I will have a bit more time to be creative.

Weekly Challenge #73: UMT v.V: Bridgen
I have had a fantastic weekend with my friends celebrating the Jubilee, tea parties, a street party and the town music festival it has just been party, party, party! The boys have loved it (and to top of a great weekend I heard that my lovely hubby is due home from sea in less than a fortnight, we haven't seen him for four months so I have had big smiles on my face for the last few days!) I decided to combine the red, white and blue theme with the challenge to use Bridgen this week to keep the patriotic theme going for a bit longer.
Here are a few pictures of me and the boys modelling the crowns I made for the street party. I decided to do fabric rather than card so that they would last and can be used for dressing up again and again. I used velcro to fasten them so the size is adjustable so as you can see, Ben and I are wearing the same one.
Here are a couple more tangles that I have done in the last week, kind of playing around again with last weeks challenge with the crescent moon.

Weekly Challenge #70: "Colour me Sepia"
I haven't done the challenge for a couple of weeks so decided to have a go again this week. The challenge this week was to use brown in the tangle. I haven't really done a lot with colour other than using my graphitint pencils to add a slight colour tint to the shading. Here is my tangle for the week:
I delved back a few weeks to the aura challenge and used two shades of Staedtler brown fineliner to do auras around the tangles and used a brown graphitint pencil for the shading.

Weekly Challenge #67: "Amanda Day"
These are two other tangles I have done in the past week (not challenge related but a few auras crept in from last weeks challenge) but I thought I'd post them anyway. I really liked the heart one and think I will use it to make a card to send to my lovely husband who is away at sea at the moment.

Weekly Challenge #66: Laura's Auras
After I had uploaded my tangle (the bottom one) I had a look at the other posts that had been uploaded to the challenge and came across one posted by Erin Olston using a tangle called Pystyl (http://thebrightowl.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/little-time-for-me.html). I really liked it so decided to have a play with it and post it alongside my other one.
