Mid Week post! What the heck??


It's not too often that i get a chance to post more than once or twice these days, even though in my other blogging lives i was a fairly consistent blogger.   I blame this on new-mom-dom.  ;)

So what's the occasion, you ask?

I'm glad you asked.
First of all, i wanted to show you this adorable picture that i took of my oldest son, Chewie, today - out in the snowy backyard....  it only took to the end of March for us to have a nice enough day for him to play outside. 


Mmm, snow!! nom nom nom

Also:
I wanna show off my new tangle!  It's pretty fun, if i do say so myself (and i do).

i was playing around with it and showing it to B-rad in it's various forms.... and i kept saying: "If you do it like this it looks like checkerplate... if you do it like this it looks like butterflies and bows!  If you do it like this it looks like cross stitch... this tangle is so Versatile!"


Get it!? haha. yeah, i'm sure you do.

Annnnyway, this is not an OFFICIAL weekly challenge - more of an experimental mini challenge which, if successful - COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME!!!!!!!

:)

but if you'd like to try out this tangle and show me what you've done, here's a little linkey machine pour vous. If there's enough interest, i'll throw together a slideshow.

HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

    Gorgeous tangle! [clatter of pens, rustle of paper] But I'm thinking that the "C" in "CZT" may, in actual fact, stand for 'certifiable' [grin]. Mid Week Post! Oh... and that's an awesome photo of Chewie! (Mind you, if he was chewing on bark... do ya think you could get him to chew bark, ah?) [fades out to giggles]

    The Hawaiian word pulelehua means butterfly ~ pule means prayer ~ and lehua is a beautiful red flower that grows on the Ohia Tree ~ Prayer Flower ~ This tangle reminds me to send out Whispers of Aloha ~ prayers of love and hope.

    I love Versa, great new tangle! This week it worked out, but I'm not sure I could keep up with a mid-week challenge on a regular basis-LOL. Thanks, Laura!

    Oh I so get where you are coming from… We had some flurries the other morning and Chloe was telling me she was going to get them and eat them. This is a wonderful pattern - I look forward to trying them out!

    Great new tangle, Laura! I am eager to try it.
    Wish I'd checked in mid-week last week! In fact, I've not been checking in much at all, which is ridiculous. Your challenges are always fascinating and rewarding, whether or not I participate in them. I've not been getting any done in time for the challenges...but the challenge archives are still a wonderful resource, both pactical and inspirational.
