DIVA 365, Summer Tangles, SQ1, Refresher 186


Summer Tangles 2018 Finale! I did it! Thank you, Yankee Tangler. Okay, you noticed, I missed 3 days (August 3 with Dingbatz August 23 with Zenribbon and August 31 with Macrotangle (work large). I may still do them at a later stage, but for now I lean back and enjoy a fine can of beer to celebrate this Finale and Shadow's Sweet 16 Birthday. He made it!

♻️ August 25 & 26 with Zenith and Snail tangles respectively and Florz. I am glad I disgarded my earlier tile with Zenith and two other tangles. I like this much better although it doesn't yet meet the standards for 'just a tiny taste of tangle', a phrase taken off one of Ragged Ray's old DIVA challenge pages, which I aimed for. (Recycled tile from packaging material.)

August 28 - Celtic Knot with August 18 - Frames. I chose 'Frames' as a tangle this time and weaved it into the corners (last week I made frames). I think it is a great extension to this particular Celtic Knot. Mooka 'frames' the Knot/Frames combo.

DIVA challenges are back and there are a lot of tanglers all over the world that are jumping up and down with joy - I am one of them! Thanks Laura!

♻️ So DIVA challenge #365 runs under the theme "Back to Basics": a simple string with some of the first and most popular tangles. When I read the  tangle list I instantly missed Pokeroot, so I decided to do a Pokeroot and Pokeleaf string and to link the tangles one to the other. I admit, this tile looks spooky. Skull jumps to mind. (Recycled tile from packaging material.)

♻️ Square One week September 7 - 13: Bran. When I first saw Bran I didn't give it a second thought. I was certain I was going to skip this challenge. Friday evening, with all my chores done for the day, Bran jumped to mind again: 'Why not?'. I grabed a piece of copier paper and pen and looked whether I can come up with something I like and that looks vaguely similar to Bran. 2 minutes later I got it! And now I am glad I gave Bran a chance (and a new look). (Recycled packaging)

Shadow had his 16th birthday yesterday. The Happy Birthday 'party' was pretty quiet with just him and me attending, but he didn't complain. I went to the market and bought 30 different fish balls for him. He loooooves those soft tasty snacks, so easy to eat. Bones have been off the treat list for quite a while. He still has left-overs, so we are celebrating 'Happy Birthday' a few days longer.



After the party it was right back to R&R....except for his stomach.




Animal Happy Day

I admit, this kind of videos I am not particulary fond of. No moving pictures only stills, and stills that repeat themselves over and over again and the storyteller's voice is robotic; still, I clicked on the white arrow - the title, it is somewhat intriguing - and I ended up with tears of joy and sadness.



Enjoy the weekend and any Birthday party you have coming up this week!
