Weekly Challenge #260

Good Monday morning to you all!

I hope you all had a wonderful week - complete with St. Paddy's Day festivities.  Remember how i said that it was almost Spring here in Saskatchewan? Well, because i tempted fate, we've had nothing but snow and freezing temperatures all week long.  But at least it made for some good Snow Man making weather.

Artoo and his friend making a snowman!

Typically, Saskatchewan winters are too cold for snowmen.

The air and snow are very dry and the snow doesn't stick together very well at crazy cold temperatures.

Usually the last 2 or 3 snowfalls of the year hover around the 0C (32F) mark.  So that makes for nice sticky snow.

I was lucky enough to be the Kindergarten Helper mom on St. Patrick's Day - and what a fun day it was.  Artoo's favourite colour is green, so he wanted to go all out.

My adorable little Leprechaun

his classmates were all excited when a little Leprechaun named Liam made a mess of their classroom after recess while he was leaving Gold and Chocolates around the class.  Artoo really had fun looking for treasure and helping his friends to clean up Liam's mess.

Here's a little photo i took one morning this week.  This was a classic case of being in the right place at the right time - because very shortly after i took the photo, it didn't look like this anymore.

SKY ON FIRE!
They don't call Saskatchewan Land of the Living Skies for nothing.

 The boys were feeling a little cabin fevery this week, having been spoiled by such nice weather last week.  But we spent the weekend playing board games together, so it wasn't all bad. \

The family that Plays Together Stays Together

And Saturday night i was lucky to teach a lovely bunch of ladies and Intro to Zentangle class.  I don't get a lot of chances to teach these days, so when i do - i really enjoy it.

Weekly Challenge #260: "Monotangle: Shattuck"
This week's challenge is to create a monotangle using the tangle Shattuck.  You can find the step outs for this tangle here

A Monotangle is a term i coined here on the blog for a tile or piece created using only ONE tangle and it's variations.

For my tile, i created a very simple string with only two spaces.

Monotangle: Shattuck

Remember part of the fun of doing Monotangles is really stretching out the tangle and seeing what it's capable of and where you can take it.  I really had fun with my tile - with my 'strict' shattuck vs my 'whimsical' shattuck.

Have fun with this one!!

See you next week
