play tea…

Posted on October 25, 2011 | 41 Comments

have you noticed how it is even more fun to play when you really should be doing something else…

could that be our inner teenager trying to come through…

pack or play…

OK pause for tea…

I certainly did not want to miss wishing you a happy T Tuesday

    Morning Patty! Wishing you a happy T Tuesday as well. Love your tea mug! And yes; I should be cleaning my bathroom and kitchen, right now, but just started a new mixed-media piece, taking a “drying” break and decided to relax with my computer. 🙂 The “inner teen” is saying – housework can wait 🙂 Have a lovely day! xxoo Marilyn

    I think you´re right – I´ve done a lot of b/w doodling when I was a teenager and still own a box I´ve made that way when I was about 16 … maybe that was an early form of zentangling? Yours is very beautiful!

    A happy Tuesday to you! Playing is always good and sooo much more fun … it would just be good if the housework would take care of itself during this time … unfortunately in my household it never does (LOL)

    I’m ALWAYS looking to play!! if there’s ever a way to play instead of do something else, you know what I choose- every time! (needless to say there’s always a list of things waiting for me to accomplish!)
    Lovely doodles! xo

    Oh, yes! I love the “inner teenager.” I could think of a lot of things my inner teenager would like to do. That’s wonderful. Patty!

    I try to pack weeks in advance, then play right up until it’s time to leave. Have a great trip and enjoy yourself. Your Zentangles are always fun to look at and appreciate. Enjoy your tea, relax, have fun, and the packing will practically take care of itself!

    Do not tell me you did those zentangles! They are so wonderful. You need to send me something zentangled. I’d like a 5 x 7 or 3 x 4? Something I can frame. hee hee Go pack!!!!

    Zentangles……..love them, but haven’t played with them as yet. Well, you seem to have mastered the technique and way to go! I think playing is WAY more fun than vacuuming, etc.

    Tea and play are the perfect match.

    You are quite the Zentangler, Patty! I LOVE it! I find that I don’t have the patience for purposeful doodling…only the non-purposeful kind 😉 So, I admire those that can do this well!!!!

    Of course, I can’t think of a better combination, then Tea and Art…they really do go hand in hand! Unless of course, you add some shortbread in with it! 🙂

    Enjoy your day, my friend!
