"It's a String Thing" #293

It's Tuesday, your good news day!

This first week in June in the U.S. brings National Donut Day - marked on the first Friday of the month of June.

The origins of this delicious day date back to the Salvation Army, World War I, and the volunteers who served donuts to our troops.  (Click here to read about it in last year's IAST challenge.)

Everyone has a sweet memory associated with donuts, I am certain. A few of mine come to mind...

In our family on birthday mornings, donuts are always the breakfast treat.

Before Krispy Kreme spread throughout the South, Lou and I would drive out of our way to Daytona Beach just to be able to purchase their lighter than air sugary treats.

Then there was the time I was visiting our grandchildren in South Bend, Indiana.  I promised the kids, as I tucked them into bed one night, that we would get donuts for breakfast the next morning.  We woke up to one of the worst blizzards I can remember - totally snowed in.  We ended up making our own donuts and had the most wonderful time together gobbling up those warm sugary treats.

In celebration of the donut, and of our own delectable memories, let's celebrate by tangling with this string ~

IAST #293 String by Adele Bruno, CZT

Just this week, I was reminded again of what a huge fan I am of Margaret Bremner, CZT.
Click here to view her latest post that features a page from her journal.  It is so impressive.

Let's use a few of Margaret's tangles for our challenge ~

Partay
This makes me think of sprinkles - and where would donuts be without sprinkles?!

Pixioze
This classic is just plain fun to draw.

Croon
This can be used alone or as a filler - very versatile.

If not anything else, this challenge is sure to make you hungry!
