Patterns used … Truffle, Zinger,… Continue Reading “Challenge #177 … “Truffle””

(FIRST OF ALL – Apologies on bad link on Diva’s site.  Don’t know what I did wrong!) Our challenge this week was a little different … with the summer season in full swing, guest Diva, Amy Broady, asked us to use our favorite beverage… Continue Reading “Weekly Challenge #176 … “BYOB””

Weekly Challenge #168 …. Rain

The Diva assigned us the pattern of “Rain” for this week’s challenge.  Never used it before, so looked it up and practiced a bit.  Kind of like it – sometimes these types of patterns are too “rigid” for me.  I like the more organic,… Continue Reading “Weekly Challenge #168 …. Rain”
