Weekly Challenge #315

Happy Monday all!!  Thanks to those of you who hung out with me on the live stream while i tangled last night.  My hubby pointed out to me the other day that if you have a Twitch account and want to be notified when i'm streaming you need to make sure that you have the notifications toggle switched to "ON"
 Like so:

Then you should get a notification each time i start streaming.  I will be streaming on Sunday night, but i'm also going to try to stream on Friday during the day.

 because
FRIDAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!!!  WOO HOO!!
yeah.

So hopefully i'll see some of you then.

This week was jam packed - i gave blood....

goodbye blood

I had lunch with this cutie pie:

Me and Miss E

B-rad and i took the boys for lunch for McHappy Day, and it was a great opportunity to talk to them about Ronald McDonald Charities - and how they were both born premature but we were lucky enough to live close enough to the hospital that we could go to our homes at night.  Chewie found it all very fascinating.  Artoo was somewhat indifferent. lol

Happy McHappy Day

Artoo's class had a special PJ day this week, and he was pretty excited to bring his stuffed Kermit to school and to wear his Darth Vader PJs to school.  His class played games and had snacks and watched Trolls and he had a great day.

It ain't Easy being Green

On Saturday we took the boys to Free Comic Book Day - and then my friend Christine brought her girls over for the day and the kids played in the backyard while we visited and i got a sunburn - and then after they left the boys wanted to make a fire so we had a hot dog roast for supper and that was THE BEST THING EVER - according to the kiddos.

Roasting our Supper

Hot Dogs on the fire taste so much better. 

Sunday afternoon B-rad took the boys on a "special" shopping trip that they all swear has NOTHING to do with a couple of Special Days that are coming up this week.... like my birthday.... on Friday... or mother's day on Sunday.

Artoo keeps giggling everytime he brings up the 'shopping trip' - which is all the time.  It's super cute.

Then we went out to my Brother and his wife's place for a belated Easter Supper - and Chewie was off running with his cousins, playing at the park across the street.  Artoo was content to sit on the living room floor and draw.   must be my kid. ;)


Weekly Challenge #315: "Tangle Study = Molygon"
Last week Rick and Maria released another episode of Kitchen Table Tangles on the Mosiac App - where Maria draws Molygon.  This is one of my favourite tangles - i love the way it looks, but i've never really been satisfied with the way mine turn out.  So the challenge this week is to spend some more time with Molygon because i think, at least for me, sometime the tendency with a new tangle is to try it out once and then you sort of go back to your old stand bys.  Sometimes it's good to go back and spend some time one-on-one with a tangle.

you don't have to make your tile a monotangle unless you want to.  i did.

I just love the organic way that molygon grows out of itself.

A helpful tip to remember: Keep the spacing between your molygon as consistent as possible.  this will help with the uniform look of the moon shapes.

 have a great week!
