"It's a String Thing" #264

It's Tuesday, your good news day!

And do I have some good news. 
Our brand new granddaughter was born on October 3 - beautiful, sweet, and so full of love. 
We flew to South Carolina to meet her and just soaked up that child and her parents. 
On the plane, I wrote her name over and over in my notebook~

Her initials just happen to be the same as mine 🎔.

Look at her holding Grandpa's hand ~

As a result of our time away, the results of IAST #263 will be a bit delayed. 
However, we will stay on track and continue with IAST #264.

In addition to welcoming sweet Ada into this world, we celebrated our Isabella's 20th birthday. 
She all grown up ~

Our string is a nod to Isabella's entry into her fabulous 20's ~

This is a given for the occasion.

Both Ada and Isabella are "Miss B.'s", so this tangle will do just fine.

When looking for a heart shaped pattern to add to our challenge, the name of this one won me over ♥.

Use as many or as few of these tangles as you wish.  I do realize that it may be challenging to incorporate all three. 

Keep in mind that strings are merely suggestions. As with all IAST adventures, simply pencil in the string and let the tangles lead the way.
