Dan snapped this picture with his iPhone on Sunday, March 1, 2015 while I was loading the built-in with fabrics. I will be organizing them once they are all in the built-in.
We also moved an old desk that will hold an old embroidery machine and my mother's sewing machine and cabinet/desk into my room.
The next item we will move into the studio is the "longarm" quilt frame which will need to be dismantled in the "guest room" and then put back together in my room.
These wildflowers are part of the Phlox family and were shot on February 21, 2015. The first wildflowers to pop up this "spring" on our land.
Mine is actually has a modified form of Phroz. I didn't want to completely draw Phroz in the areas I used it. I only did the first two steps of how to draw Phroz.
I kept seeing stars, crosses (or pluses), and diamonds. Some instinct told me to leave the four large corner white areas alone and I'm so glad I did. I think it's my prerogative on how I want it to look, correct? I am really liking this "tile".
I have purchased Made in the Shade: a Zentangle Workbook in hopes that I can teach myself how to shade in areas. A lot of people recommended this book on Zentangle's facebook group.
I have spotted the first wildflowers this season! Spring is coming! Hurray! In the meantime, here is one last picture dump of wildflowers from last year. Enjoy.

Most likely Coreopsis linifolia {Texas Tickseed}; 5/6/2014
Lazy Daisy; 5/6/2014
Coreopsis basalis {Golden Wave>}; 5/6/2015
I was thrilled to see this flower on our land in addition to the Texas Tickseed. I have memories of our first spring at our first house with the golden wave in our backyard. It was the first and only time we had them there. I do believe we mowed down the backyard too soon. I will need to dig up the picture of me standing among the flowers and post it soon.

It's a String Thing #80
using Kozy, and Inaura
Completed 2/21/2015
I work on this when I want to doodle and have no other challenges to do/complete. I am using pencil as I am still learning to draw tangle patterns.
I do not know what the name of the center (border) pattern is. When I wanted something to fill in the center teardrop spaces, I glanced at my fabrics and noticed VeggieTales fabrics with Larry and Bob all over it. I attempted to draw Bob and fell short; but, I still think it is cute. I then picked up one of my Zentangle books and picked Purk to tangle the middle "teardrops". So far, I am liking my work...
