So then, to keep up with my New Year's resolution 2 heartless tiles stare at you. May I introduce you to my unhappy lowercase j...
Patterns: Jelly Roll, Jewellep, Jib, Jetties
...and my in the blues mood capital J. If you haven't noticed, J is covering an abyss as deep as my present state of happiness. And I have no right to be! Just today I read an article in our local newspaper and it reads: Thailand ranked world’s happiest nation by Bloomberg. By BLOOMBERG! It must be TRUE news.

Oh I wanted to do that pointy J Tangle and just couldn't do it! It looks so nice on your tile Susie! If it hadn't of been raining here all day yesterday maybe I would have been happier and been able to do it. The last weeks of winter with temperature's going up and down doesn't help. Today it's partially sunny maybe I should have waited? Looks good.
ReplyDeleteI tried to figure out how to use jib too, but couldn't pull it off. Well done, Susie.
DeleteTrudi, Lori, thank you both for your sunny comments. Jib was easy, what was not easy for me was to "Finish My Tile" for Joey, which both of you did so excellently. Next week...next week (no, no fingers crossed behind my back).
DeleteLove your tiles, but the blue one really resonated with me. It's gorgeous!

Thank you, Joyce, welcome to the club of somber, dark souls. However, I am sure there is some sunshine at the K for both of us. My fingers are crossed.
DeleteEveryone has lesser days, when you can accept that, it is already a bit better. In England they say: every cloud has a silver lining and that is true.
ReplyDeleteAbout your tiles: they both are wonderfull, as always. You have a very special and gorgeous style to draw;
Thank you, Ria, for your kind encouragement. Sometimes that cloud's silver lining is drawn with a 001 pen...and the distance...hard to see! But you remind me of Bette Midler's wisdom in her song Glory of Love where she sings: "...you gotta win a little, lose a little, yes, and always have the blues a little...". Do you happen to know the song?
DeleteAnd thank you also for your inspirational comment on my tiles and my drawing style - even when at times it doesn't turn out to my best.
Oh my, but these are terrific! That electrified blue J is stunning! Sorry about the little downer mood. It's not fun having the blahs...but you still did do some nice work here. good stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks, HeidiSue, electrified - love it. That blue J was actually a pattern joice mistake. I noticed too late that my J was too fancy and would be lost in the busy background. So I had to 'electrify' it to stick out, and it does, doesn't it.
DeleteIf your were in a blue mood.... I LOVE your blue tile.
ReplyDeleteDahh, placed the reply wrong...AGAIN! You, too, Susan, get free admission to the growing club of somber, dark souls. And you get a most gracious thank you for your tile comment from the founder.
