Re-Booting, Catching up and Diva Challenges

Somewhere along the way my holiday blog break detoured into a black hole of sorts...well, more like a rabbit hole of many artsy diversions along with family stuff, work stuff, dead computers and more family stuff....and YouTube;-)

Through it all, I started all of the Diva challenges in my Trainwreck Journal but never managed to finish any of them until yesterday, whilst hanging out, on rainy day off, at my neighborhood cafe.

This current challenge almost did me in though. After my second failed practice attempt I decided to go big and do it in pencil first. Much better. Although I'm pleased with the results, it vexed me in terms of knowing where and how to stop it, or how to integrate other patterns.

My morning at the cafe...

I'll be posting my Project Shares in short (hopefully), random posts as I try to get pictures off my cell phone camera.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
