I am the Diva challenge #165

This weeks I am the Diva challenge is a UMT, Camelia.  Click here to go Anne Marks step outs for Camelia.  I enjoy the UMTs as I get to try a new tangle :)

 After completing my first one I kind of got caught up in the moment of the swirls and the relaxation so I decided to just use Camelia and make this one....

Tackle it Tuesday letter "I"

This weeks Tackle it Tuesday is to use tangles that begin with the letter "I" only.

I was a version of ixorus, ipso, and a version of itsy twisty where they were grouped by twos instead of one long string.

This is my second creation.  Liked my first one but then tried to add another tangle and I ended up not liking it :/ I enjoy using tangles that I have not used before but find that staying within the same letter sometimes they just don't flow like I would like them to....

Weekly Challenge #164 - Amanda (Earth) Day

I am the Diva's challenge this week is to tangle something that goes along with Earth Day, or Amanda Day as her son has nicknamed it :)  I kept mine simple this week.

The water is schway,the continents are hurry, and the bow is mak-rah-me.  Schway made me think of the way we live back and forth with the other continents, hurry reminds me of being intertwined, and mak-rah-me is to remind us that we are a package.

Easter Sunday

Happy Easter!!

 

I made little Easter boxes for the boys this year with my Silhouette Cameo.  They were easy and turned out super cute:)

 

 

Broken Arm and Laramie Trip

On Tuesday, Devin broke his arm at track.....however, we didn't get it casted until Thursday :/ Yeah my fault, no mother of the year award :(  I assumed it was a bad sprain as there was no swelling, but after 2 days of pain I decided it was time to take him in.  He chipped a part of the bone off in his wrist and a hairline fracture behind that....

 

Saturday we headed to Laramie for a Science Camp Reunion.   They got into small groups and programmed Lego Robots to traverse along tables set up at 90 degree angle turns.  They had one hour to learn the programming and then compete.  Devin's group of 3 had the best first run out of all 5 groups!  They were only allowed to try it 2 times.  Of course after their two times were completed each group HAD to continue trying to improve their runs.  It was so much fun watching these young science kids continue to try to do better even after the "competition" was done!

 
On the way home we were fortunate enough to see these elk and buffalo.  On the way to Laramie we saw some Mountain Goats but didn't get the chance to snap any pictures.

Weekly Challenge #163 - Rixty

This weeks Diva challenge is to create with Rixty, you can find the step-outs HERE. 

Rixty, Featherfall, Ansu

This was my first time using Rixty,  I think its always fun to try new tangles. Rixty reminds me of something created by Dr. Suess :)

Tackle it Tuesday Challenge

Tackle it Tuesdays challenge is to use only tangles that start with the letter G.  This is my first time trying this challenge and I have to say it was a lot of fun.  I used new tangles, yippee!  This is a hard thing for me so I enjoyed being MADE to do it. :)

I used: gewurtz, golven, gutz, girlande, geos

I am the Diva Weekly Challenge 162 - StringTheory, Initial String

This weeks Diva Challange is to use your initials as your string.  I broke the rules somewhat because you are not supposed to be able to see your string when finished, it should disappear, but I thought my initials needed to stand out so I darkened them and then added color :)  My initials are NR

Weekly Challenge 161: Take Two

Here is my second try at Quandary from I am the Diva.  I like it better than my first try. 

Weekly Challenge #161: "In a Quandary about Quandary"

This weeks challenge at i am the diva is to use the tangle Quandary. 

Boy, did I struggle with this one!  I definitely need to keep practicing.  In the brown I tried a couple of different techniques, touching/not touching.  Then I decided to do away with the "rice" shape and try a more paisley shape.  I like this shape better as I felt it was more forgiving of my nonperfection. (Yes, I made up that word)  I will have to give Quandary another try later this week.
