weekly Challenge #270

Good morning everyone! I hope you all had a great week, and a very Happy Memorial Day to my friends to the South.

With the school year winding down, the kids are doing a lot of fun activities!! This week Artoo's class took a field trip to the Forestry Farm, which is a little zoo here in Saskatoon.  It was a great day for it, and the animals were all out and being very active!  I got to go along as a helper mom and it was a very fun day.
Chewie had a field trip too, to a Pow Wow, but i wasn't able to go along on that field trip.  Sadly.

Artoo and friends!

 This weekend was the SaskMarathon so Saturday we set up a Beads of Courage booth at the Marathon Expo and were telling folks about our Colour Run (next weekend!!).  I brought Artoo along for a bit, and he was so charming and was telling everyone about his beads.

I had to take a break from the Expo so i could take Artoo to a birthday party - his best friend at school, Ally, invited him to her Princess Party - and he had a wonderful time!  He even got to meet some fairytale princesses!

 He was Prince Nice, and he was a very nice Prince.

 Then it was back to the Marathon expo - but this time i took Chewie with me, and he was very helpful as we took everything down and loaded up the van.

Speaking of SaskMarathon - i ran the 10K on Sunday.  I didn't do any training, so considering that i think i did alright.  i felt good about my run, but it was super hot by the end.  My official chip time was 1:14:39.0 and i was aiming for about 1:25:00 so i'm happy!

We have a very busy week coming up with more school activities and the Colour Run on Sunday - and i'm already exhausted.   I could use a nap.


Weekly Challenge #270: "Skye - a Tangle by Margaret Bremner, CZT"
have you seen this new tangle? If not you can see the step outs on Margaret's blog here as well as some of her gorgeous tiles featuring Skye!

I've been meaning to try this since she released it this month, but i haven't had the opportunity!  And since this is MY blog, i made it this week's challenge so i WOULD have the opportunity!

This is my very first attempt

This tangle is definitely more High Focused... and you can see my first attempt did not go as well as i would have hoped.  But my second tile was not too shabby.  i feel like the more i get a feel for this tangle, the better i'll get at it. 

second attempt!  

I will have to spend more time with this one, but i already love it! Thank you Margaret for this awesome tangle to play with!

Have a great Week!
