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~
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 ~

The tangles we will use include ~
Iza - a tangle of mine
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.

Congratulations to the new mother, father, grandfather and an over the top (in a GOOD way!) proud grandmother!!! Adele, the few words you wrote said it all, you are bursting with joy! And happy Birthday to your own daughter's 20iest! My very best wishes to the whole family!
ReplyDeleteThank you for multiplying the joy, Susie!
DeleteBest wishes for the coming storm Adele. I'll be thinking of you. I hope you and yours stay safe and unscathed. Much love, XXX
ReplyDeleteIn central Florida we escaped the storm, thankfully. Now our hearts and prayers are with everyone in the Panhandle of Florida.
DeleteThank you for thinking of us.
Ada is a wonderful name and I like the way you wrote Ada on the first tile. Absolutely gorgeous picture of a grandfather's hand and his newborn granddaughter's hand and to finisch congratulations for the whole family, especially for your beautiful daughter Isabella. I think, you looked exactly the same when you had her age!!!
ReplyDeleteTomorrow I started to draw this special challenge!
If I did, than I thank you for the wonderful compliment :)
DeleteI appreciate your sweet words and good wishes, Ria.
