Amanda Day 3013

-

This week's Diva Challenge was to create a tangle to do with Earth Day (endearingly re-dubbed 'Amanda Day' last year by Laura's adorable son, Chewie ). Since time is of the essence these days, I decided to just doodle something quickly in my calendar and call it good.



 However, as is usually the case when time is of the essence, a 10 minute doodle didn't have the restorative properties needed to calm the mind monkeys lately, so before I knew it, I was shirking all responsibility and knee-deep in a tangle WITH COLOR! When I go off the rails, I really go off the rails!

I just love the natural world around us so much that I couldn't put those feelings into just black and white.   And wouldn't you know, once I had finished, I had renewed energy to finish up the chores I had waiting for me. You're done it again, Laura! Thanks for the great challenge!

You zendala could be a pieced quilt! The design is fabulous and I love the bold coloring!

Wouldn't that make a great (big) button or t-shirt design? Yes, it would! I think you need a Cafe Press account so those of us who want to order something with your lovely creations on it, COULD.

Really like the Zendala that you created. The combination of tangles and colors are really an eye popper.

Just got a comment on my last blog entry reminding me that Monday is actually the last day of November, not today. So I have TWO more entries to complete NaBloPoMo; today and TOMORROW. How sad would that have been...to blow the whole thing because I can't read a calendar? I just figured, hey, December is coming next week, might's well start it out first thing on Monday! This here is a picture of my BubberKev and I at Thanksgiving. We're taking a momentary break from strangling each other to goof at the camera. Our mamma must be so proud! Back to online Christmas shopping! Have a great Sunday evening!

Lots of New Tangle Pattern Ideas!

I've been setting aside tangles that I've created in a special file in my cabinet. When I put one in last night, I realized that I had quite a stockpile and that I hadn't put only of them out there for others to try...so here they all are. I'm not good at stepouts or at naming. Most of them are named after placed in Maine...just because. I'd love to see any tangles that you've done that use any of these patterns! Have fun and tangle on!

Wicked Wonderful Weekend

 I had a really nice weekend. I didn't expect to since I had both my Covid booster and my flu shot  on Thursday afternoon. My first of the original two Covid shots put me under the weather for about 24 hours...but I just got a headache from this one and that's about it. And since I get headaches anyway, who knows if it was from the shots or not? At any rate, I was prepared for a stay-at-home-lay-about weekend.  Life is what happens when you are making other plans.  Since I decided Friday Night that I guess I wasn't going to be incapacitated after all, I arranged to go with friend, Donna to Baraboo to the Arts and Crafts Festival. It was really nice and way bigger than I thought it would be. Baraboo is where Ringling Brothers started so there were also circus-y things all over town. So much fun! After the Fair we went to lunch at a little breakfast place and then headed to one of my fav spots, Pewett's Nest, to see the gorge and waterfall. Then we stopped at Sky Hi Ap...
