Weekly Challenge #112: UMT v. XV "Tuxedo"

-
This week's Diva Challenge was to use the tangle 'Tuxedo' by the amazing Lee Ann. It's a hard one to keep symmetrical so mine is all wonky, but it is one I never used before so it was fun to try:

In honor of April Fools' Day yesterday I made a treat for my dept. I put a bunch of these:

on a plate, covered it with tin foil and put a post it note on top that said 'Brownies'. Coworkers didn't think it was funny and became suspicious that maybe I had done something to the coffee TOO.  I'm not THAT crazy. Messing with the coffee is a suicide mission. I brought in real treats after lunch to appease them and I'm was STILL suspect for the rest of the day. Heh. Heh. Heh. Operation 'April Fool' successful!

I love your post! April fools day is an important day for me...not because I can fool someone, though I have at times, but because believe it or not my parents chose it for their wedding day. It was a couple of years after WWII and they were engaged on the first date....New Years Eve, it lasted and they were as in love when my mom passed away as when they wed. I am sorry that wasn't anything to do with your tangling...I was carried away! I love what you have done with tuxedo and I am glad others see it better than it ever intended to be!

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...
