DC120 & Pin of the Week

Bales is one of my favorite tangles. It's incredibly intuitive and I barely have to think while constructing it. Perhaps the best quality of bales is how versatile it is. You can come up with endless ways to fill the space. Bales is almost a string within a string. At least, that's how I chose to utilize bales this week with Laura's challenge. Below is my simplistic design for this week:

Today is a special day for my blog. I'm sure you're wondering why and it's because I'm finally introducing a new addition to my posts. Lately, I've mainly focused on my challenge entries with an occasional post for my One A Day Zentangle Journey (which reminds me I'm incredibly behind in updating that). I have plans for other topics and weekly updates but I've been so busy with my unstable retail hours and last minute interviews I haven't actually gotten around to rolling anything out. Well today is the official reveal of my new Pin of the Week segment! I have what some may consider an unhealthy obsession with Pinterest. I usually stop by at least once a day but I thankfully resist the urge to pin every slightly cool thing I see. I only pin the things I find really useful, interesting or inspiring. Or recipes that I would actually make. Not the ones that have a million ingredients, weird equipment, and require more time than I have to give. 

Anyway, my favorite pin this week was from AFewShortCuts.com. I got a Keurig as a birthday present a few years ago and I've noticed lately my cups have become increasingly smaller. I thought it was just a bug with my model since my family got it on clearance. It had been returned and repackaged or something I believe. I was wrong though! Apparently, you're suppose to clean your Keurig occasionally. And now that I stop to think about it, it does make sense. I don't know why it never occurred to me that the insides would probably need to be cleaned occasionally. If you have a Keurig, just follow the picture below and you'll get step by step instructions on how to clean it and then you too can feel like an idiot as it's super easy
