I decided I needed a blog space to post my craft projects, knitting, zentangles, things I make for my niece Miss V, etc. The name of the blog - "a pinch, a potch, and a kiss" - is something my grandfather used to lovingly say to us grandkids and it brings back fond memories of childhood. He had a particular cadence to the phrase that I can still hear in my head and it always makes me smile.

Diva Challenge #37: Kiss my Grids
The challenge this week is to use only grid-based tangles within a tile. I LOVE grid-based tangles, so this challenge was right up my alley.
Diva Challenge #35: Tile on Tile
This was the challenge from the week of 8/15, but I just got around to scanning it. The challenge was basically to create a tile within a tile. I ended up making 2 of these because I wasn't very happy with my first attempt (it bugged me that the inner tangle wasn't obvious).
Attempt #2 - In addition to the tile within a tile, I also enjoyed playing around with inverted patterns on the "outer" tile.

The Diva's Weekly Zentangle Challenge #34, "Opposites Attract"
This is my first official submission for the Weekly Zentangle Challenge on I am the diva - CZT blog. The challenge is Opposites Attract and these were the instructions:
Straight with Curvy
Curvy with Straight
Create your string using EITHER straight lines alone, or solely curving shapes and then fill the string with its opposite!
If you used the straight-line string, fill it with curves and orbs and other soft tangles.
If you used the curvy string, try to fill it using only grid-based and angular tangles.
So, I made one of each. Here ya go.
