ScrapHappy Saturday (on a Sunday) - RSC26 - Week 25

Welcome to Week 25 of the 2026 Rainbow Scrap Challenge!!  This week promises to be a bit less chaotic.  Although, the usual errands, classes, and meetings remain.  Perhaps, I might be able to fit in a bit PASTEL of scrap sewing.

Before we jump into how the week unfolded, let me share yesterday's Midmonth Gathering at Get Messy....

Linden Eller presented a short lesson and this is the journal page I made:

SUNDAY - During Weekly Morning Art Zoom, I worked on the CRANE prompt for ICAD using an images from a child's dictionary.

MONDAY - Art Day

I stopped to attend this week's Library Crawl at Get Messy, but it was canceled.  :o((

I went downstairs to grab a cup of tea before my Weekly Zoom Call with LeeAnna @ Not Afraid of Color:

TUESDAY - Errand Day

After picking up a last minute grocery order, I enjoyed visiting with the Tuesday Explorers at Get Messy.  My TYPE card for ICAD was the result of the day's efforts:

WEDNESDAY - Art Day

I attended Midweek Meetup and searched for the perfect magazine images to complete the MOON prompt for the Index-Card-a-Day challenge:

Next came Watercolor Zoom with Belinda:

Today, I worked on this little line and wash floral:

THURSDAY - Weekly Quilt Group met at Britt's today, but I brought the snacks, as we were supposed to be at my house.  After lunch we worked on our ICAD prompts.  I completed a card for the MAGNOLIA prompt...

Here we are with the card that Britt put together and my SEAHORSE card:

FRIDAY - Knit Group met at 1928 Mill House Coffee today:

After a stop at the grocery store and a convoluted trip home due to traffic challenges, I arrived at Get Messy's Friday Friends Open Studio.  Today I used a page from a map book as the background for a magazine image to interpret the COASTLINE prompt for ICAD:

I also added ransom note letters along with paint to my page created for the LIGHT prompt from Messy May.  This was done to help the chandelier pop:

After dinner, I headed back upstairs for my Weekly Evening Art Zoom.  I used collage scraps and the piece of flocked gift wrap that Britt gave me yesterday to interpret the VELVET prompt for ICAD:

SATURDAY - It's LINK PARTY day for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!  I hope you have a chance to visit Angela @ So Scrappy to see what the RSC Quilters have been up to this week.

I was late to the party since I spent the day with these lovely quilters:

One of the three projects I took to the Sew Day included a few PASTEL scraps in Light Blue.  I'm working toward completing this UFO quilt by the end of the month:

Until next time...

Get SCRAPPY!!

ScrapHappy Saturday - RSC26 - Week 24

Welcome to Week 24 of the 2026 Rainbow Scrap Challenge!!  This week is going to be another full one.  Guest prep. errands, classes, and meetings are scheduled.  The question remains...  Will I be able to fit in any PASTEL  scrap sewing???

Only time will tell, but here is how my days passed...

SUNDAY - During Weekly Morning Art Zoom, I worked on my POMEGRANATE prompt for ICAD using an image from my car's tissue cylinder.  The color was scribbled beneath the tissue paper used for the tracing with two types of crayon:

  

In neighborhood news...

New neighbors moved in yesterday:

MONDAY - Serious Guest Prep

I stopped to attend this week's Library Crawl at Get Messy.  Today we went back to the Season of Promise with the 3-2-1 Challenge from Dayle Bennett.  Here is the resulting journal page made using 3 colors, 2 words, and 1 image:

When that was done, I went downstairs to grab a cup of tea before my Weekly Zoom Call with LeeAnna @ Not Afraid of Color:

TUESDAY - Final Guest Prep

After picking up a last minute grocery order, I spent some time with my Tuesday Explorer friends at Get Messy while waiting for our guests to arrive.  My YEARBOOK card for ICAD was the result of the day's efforts:

WEDNESDAY - Shopping Day

I missed Midweek Meetup, in favor of going shopping with my SIL:

In neighborhoods news...

Schools out!  You know what that means? More new neighbors moved in today:

A while later...

Two additional trucks rolled in down the street from us with more new neighbors:

Before the rains came...

There was a bit of brotherly bonding:

THURSDAY - Weekly Quilt Group met at Cheryl's today, without me, as our visitors weren't leaving until mid afternoon:

After a relaxing cup of tea, I headed up to the studio where Britt and I...

Enjoyed a Zoom-y ARTventure.  Today we worked on ICAD.  My focus was on adding the MIXED MEDIA theme to my weekly prompt card:

FRIDAY - Knit Group

When it was time to leave, I grabbed a bite to eat before Get Messy's Friday Friends Open Studio.  Today I altered a book image for the PARTERRE prompt for ICAD:

During the late afternoon, I returned to the studio to work on this month's Get Messy lesson:

After dinner, I headed back upstairs to visit with my Weekly Evening Art Zoom friends.  I decided to work on the FACES prompt for Messy May that I skipped last month.  I probably should have started with a pencil sketch, but opted to jump right in with my Tombow markers - swatch added in the top left:

My apologies to the Harper's Bazaar model!  I didn't intend to make her look like she has the mumps.  Please know that after the photo was taken, I plumped up her lips a little.

SATURDAY - It's LINK PARTY day for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!  I hope you have a chance to visit Angela @ So Scrappy to see what the RSC Quilters have been up to this week.

To answer the question at the beginning of this post...

YES and NO!!

What I did with PASTEL scraps in Light Blue, Light Pink and/or Light Green this week was get out this UFO quilt to contemplate a path to finishing it.  Sorry!  Nothing yet, but here's a peek at the project in its partially completed state:

Until next time...

Get SCRAPPY!!

ScrapHappy Saturday - RSC26 - Week 23

Welcome to Week 23 of the 2026 Rainbow Scrap Challenge!!  This week is Transition Week at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.  Angela made her announcement for the June Color of the Month.  RSC Quilter friends will be putting away their orange scraps and pulling out:

PASTELS

in

Light Blue, Light Pink and/or Light Green

Let's take a walk through my week...

SUNDAY - Weekly Morning Art Zoom found me working on the FORAGE prompt for Messy May.  It's one of four remaining to be completed.  The rust and beige paint was already on the page that Britt included when creating the book.  I searched through my junk drawer to find a few miscellaneous tools to use in marking my page.  A bit of a produce bag, a bottle cap, a plastic fork, and an odd double-ended plastic cover, along with some coordinating paint did the job:

MONDAY - Cleaning Day

I busied myself with a number of household chores today.  I stopped for Get Messy's Library Crawl, but there was no program host.  I have NO IDEA what I worked on, but after a brief visit with Britt and a few other attendees who left even earlier that I did...

I left early to jump back into preparing for the arrival of our guests.

Later, I realized that the Index-Card-A-Day challenge starts today.  Here's the info for the low stakes art event:

TUESDAY - Tidy Up Tuesday

Review of my 100 Day Project decluttering.

I had a few overdue errands to run this morning.

I returned home to find the following neighborhood news...

The day I've been waiting for has finally arrived!  This sign was posted during the midday:

After lunch I headed back out for a long overdue haircut.  Whew!  What a relief.

WEDNESDAY -  Last week I promised a photo of my gift from the QFK Kit Cutting hostess.  Somehow I neglected to add it, but here it is. Whether I needed more yarn or not:

Thank you for your generosity, Marianne!

I enjoyed my Watercolor Zoom with Belinda this afternoon...

She shared her version of the Line and Wash painting we started last time...

And I finished up mine during today's session:

Look what was happening outside during our painting session!  The road crew was approaching the middle of their paving job.  One lane is nearly done:

Then I finally caught up with LeeAnna @ Not Afraid of Color for our Weekly Zoom Call:

THURSDAY - Weekly Quilt Group met at Maggie's today.  After the meeting, Britt and I enjoyed an ARTventure via Zoom since her back was misbehaving:

FRIDAY - Knit Group was just we three...

The good news is that I finished the final round of my 2nd sock, bound off, and wove in the ends:

I stopped to grab a few groceries on the way home and a had a quick lunch before Get Messy's Friday Friends Open Studio.  I had some trouble getting started so Britt suggested that I choose a prompt that seemed like fun. This was the result for the ICAD prompt CONEFLOWER for Day 8.  Apparently, I'll be working out of order this year:

I stopped there to take care of some household chores, but returned to the studio after dinner to visit with my Weekly Evening Art Zoom friends.  Tonight I continued with Britt's suggestion and completed the CAFE' prompt for Day 24...

Along with the PISTACHIO or GREEN prompt for Day 29:

SATURDAY - It's LINK PARTY day for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!  I hope you have a chance to visit Angela @ So Scrappy to see what the RSC Quilters have been up to this week.  I'll be digging through these Quilted Scrap Baskets to see what I can come up with for this month's scrap sewing...

PINK:

BLUE:

And GREEN:

Surely, there are some PASTEL shades in there somewhere.

Until next time...

Get SCRAPPY!!
