Welcome to week 33 of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!! This week I did a whole lot of packing and moving, but NO SEWING. :o((
Find the aqua/teal/turquoise in the box of shirts that I posted on IG over the weekend. I wanted my RSC Quilter friends to know that I was thinking about them (even if I couldn't visit all the links.)
SUNDAY - Sew Some Love Sunday
In addition to that (pre-scheduled) post, I spent the day with two of my three favorite men. We packed more of our belongings and loaded our vehicles and a trailer for a trip to the new house:
MONDAY - A trip back to the old house. The closest I came to sewing today was vacuuming the old studio. Sorry, quilters! No photographic evidence. :P
TUESDAY - Another trip back to the old house and the closest I came to sewing today was reassembling and righting my tables in the new studio after dinner this evening:
WEDNESDAY - Wonderful Wednesday, but no post. I do have three things to share. First, I was very excited to see that there is a reblooming azalea in my new front yard, but upon closer inspection, I'm even more excited. It's either a two-color variety or there were two varieties planted very close together (Anyone know if that's poison ivy growing out of it? I'm hoping not, as DH is allergic!):
Second, I was delivered a special housewarming gift. My friend Candy's special soup. Yes. It's hot as blazes outside, but my family likes soup any time of the year. Better still... All I had to do was reheat this delicious pot of quilty love:
Third, today was my weekly Zoom call with LeeAnna @ Not Afraid of Color. I was pleased that I was able to spend a little time showing her around my new studio:
THURSDAY - ZoomBEE was hosted by the lovely Candy. She of last night's dinner. Thank you, again, for your thoughtfulness!
FRIDAY - I missed ZoomKNIT in favor of picking up the components of a new organizational system for my new studio. Just WAIT until you see what becomes of all this:
After dinner, one of our new neighbors brought over this beautiful bouquet to welcome us to the neighborhood:
This unusual bloom was included:
SATURDAY - It's LINK PARTY day for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge! I hope you will join me in visiting Angela @ So Scrappy to see what the RSC Quilters have been up to this week. My biggest accomplishment for the week was to take the "Shirt Rainbow in a Box" (as shown at the top of this post) and give it a new home. Here it is in it's own special section of my new closet:
Thank you, again, to all of my wonderful RSC Quilter friends and my faithful readers! I appreciate all of the well wishes expressed for our move and the patience you've shown in my delayed responses to your lovely comments.
Until next time...
Get SCRAPPY!!!
I am SEW excited for you and your new studio space! Leaves of 3 - leave them be. Looks like you need some weed killer to spray on those leaves of 3.
ReplyDeleteGlad the move is going well and can't wait to see the new studio! No, that is not poison ivy but it is something you want to get out because it likes to spread and has stickers on it.
ReplyDeletewhat in the world is that flower!!! Your studio is so big, and I was thinking you could as a stopgap hand string lights along the inside of your alcoves for nighttime sewing
ReplyDeleteWow, I don’t know whether I’m more impressed by a summer move (heat! Covid!) or that lovely rainbow array of shirts! Stay safe and don’t overtax yourself.
ReplyDeleteI knew you would be able to find a rainbow at the end (or beginning?) of your move. You rock, girl! Your studio looks so big. So exciting. New beginnings are always exciting. Enjoy! ;^)
ReplyDeleteExcited to see your new space, Joy. I know you will be glad when you are settled and able to stitch some! BTW, is aqua/teal/turqouise the color of the month for August? There is no update on Angela's page, but I keep seeing those colors pop up! Thanks! Stay cool!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the rainbow t-shirts! Best wishes for your new abode...and what's your IG handle?
ReplyDeleteYou still manage pretty pictures! Love the t-shirts.
ReplyDeleteYour rainbow of shirts is very impressive! I'm not sure I would be able to do that with mine. Hope you're slowly getting settled, and definitely looking forward to seeing the new studio!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new home. Enjoy it and make many wonderful memories in it. Come September you will be settle in your new home.
ReplyDeleteI love your shirt rainbow! Too cute! Can’t wait till we all get a peek at your new studio! Hang in there! We all get it, that sometimes life happens and blogland has to wait a bit!!
ReplyDeleteYour new space looks awesome already. I can't wait to see all those cabinets and what they become! Enjoy your new home and studio and settle in. All in good time.
ReplyDeleteWow, so many fun photos going on here, Joy! Thanks for sharing so much during your busy week. I'm excited to see your new studio. Are those IKEA cabinets? Is that the room for your longarm, too? And wow, on those blue flowers! Great new neighbors! My first thought on the leaves was, raspberries?
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to see your new set up! Moving is so stressful but the end results will be fab :)
ReplyDeleteSo nice to be getting a new sewing space and organizational components. I’m updating my cutting area with a new cutting board/organizational area. Also, put in new flooring. But it does take away from sewing! 😉 Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteGood to see you're getting settled in. Love the rainbow of shirts. Mine would be heavy on purple. We'll all be looking forward to the unfolding of the studio.
ReplyDeletePat
Nice to see your progress in the move--I think the new arrangement in the studio will be so much fun!!!!
ReplyDeleteMoving is always such a pain, but you did get the chance to clean out, clean up and reimagine as you move to new spaces. Hope you are able to get back to actual stitching soon.
ReplyDeleteSoup and flowers!!! That is a lovely welcome indeed, Joy. I am sure you will be fully settled in soon and back to quilting like a speed demon :-) Hugs.
