ScrapHappy Saturday - RSC24 - Week 24

Welcome to Week 24 of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge and the latest edition of Tidy Up Tuesday!!  This week was filled to the brim with activities and artwork.  BLUE sewing???  Obviously, busy enough that I didn't get my post written in a timely fashion.

Keep reading to find out...

SUNDAY - This week began with my usual Weekly Morning Art Zoom.  I worked on entries for the Index Card a Day challenge...


Lavender and Waves shown above.  Potpourri and Orange, below.


After lunch, I enjoyed a visit with Knittingsuek:


MONDAY - Work was preceded by a bit of art.  I started the journal page last night and added a few more details this morning.  Other members of the Curiosity Collective will be working on theirs before I get home this afternoon:


TUESDAY - Work was scheduled for today, but I took time to watch the latest class from Get Messy and decided that this quote was what I wanted for my journal page:


After work, I was off to the doctor to see if he can figure out why I'm coughing...  Again.

What did he say, Joyful???

(Apparently...)  There's nothing wrong.  Grr!  Just like when you take a car to the mechanic and it won't make the noise it's been making... I didn't cough ONCE during the entire appointment.  Sigh...  I'm guessing this means that it's just my reflux going through the roof and I'll have to be more careful about what I'm eating, so as not to aggravate it further.

WEDNESDAY - Work

My computer start page had me thinking of the RSC Quilters with this clear BLUE water:


After work, I raced home for my weekly Zoom call with LeeAnna @ Not Afraid of Color:


THURSDAY - Today was the start of my 4-day weekend!!!  :o))

What a treat it was to visit with the lovely ladies of my (Weekly) Morning Quilt Bee:


After errands and some lunch, I dove into the Watercolor Mastery class series with Emily Olson that I signed  up for earlier this month.  I mixed up my own pinks for the flower painting below:


FRIDAY - I was super excited to attend Knit Group...

But first I did a bit of BLUE binding:


Once that was done, I headed out to meet Tracy at our favorite coffee shop, as the rest of the group members were busy with summer plans (or sleeping late) instead of knitting:


SATURDAY - It's LINK PARTY day for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!  I hope you visited Angela @ So Scrappy to see what the RSC Quilters have been up to this week.  I was focused on making headway on this month's donation project and only managed to copy her link for my post... You know the one?  The post that I was too busy to release.

Here is some BLUE scrap sewing that I hope will make up for neglecting to link up earlier:


This afternoon I had an art Zoom with Claudette @thecreativeflourish making affirmation cards.  I repeated the process on my journal page shown in the top left of the photo below:


Turquoise/teal are shades of BLUE, right?  See!  I was thinking of my RSC Quilter friends (even if I have been hit or miss in visiting everyone's posts lately.)  Time is a limited resource and I've been spending more of mine on art this month.  Never fear... I'm still quilting!  Just not quite so much as I used to.

Note to my regular readers...

My apologies to those of you who missed my post over the weekend.  Thank you to those of you who wrote to check up on me!  I'm doing ok.  My back is MUCH better!  Although, not quite 100%, but my pain level is down at the lower end of the scale and most often residing at a dull ache, as opposed to the level 10 that it had been.

Until next time...
Get SCRAPPY!!

ScrapHappy Saturday - RSC24 - Week 22

Welcome to Week 22 of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!!  This week

SUNDAY - Weekly Morning Art Zoom found me working in my Get Messy Art Journal:


My weekly Zoom call with Knittingsuek followed, but I neglected to get a photo.  :o((

Later in the afternoon, Meg Journals put up a new video on YouTube.  I'm a sucker for making paper bag journals, so once my sewing was done, I jumped right in with the first part of the process:


MONDAY - Holiday!!  No work, all play!  :o))

What were you playing with, Joyful???

I played with some PINK scraps in an expansion effort for this month's donation quilt:


TUESDAY - Tidy Up Tuesday

Back to work today.  Sigh...

After a trip to the grocery store, I experimented with a paint technique I've been noticing around Instagram.  My plastic produce bag didn't hold the air well enough to properly produce a flower design, but it was worth a try:


WEDNESDAY - Work was followed by...

My weekly Zoom call with LeeAnna @ Not Afraid of Color was canceled this week, as we both ended up with afternoon appointments on our calendar.  :o((

THURSDAY - My weekend started early, as I'm off work today and tomorrow.  Yay!!  I had hoped that meant that I could attend my Weekly Quilt Bee meeting.  Did that happen???

Nope!  My SIL wanted to meet for lunch:


After lunch, I went shoe shopping and then met my friend Cindy for a snack at her favorite coffee shop on the way home:


A quick dinner was followed by my Monthly Evening Quilt Bee:


I shared this month's RSC Donation Quilt:



I went to Knit Group this morning WITHOUT my knitting.  Whoops!  Fortunately, I had one of my art journals in my bag with some collage papers and a glue stick:


Today, I'm saying goodbye to my pink scraps and...

Tomorrow I'll be saying hello, BLUE!!  Here is what I have available to work with in the month of June:


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.  In the meantime, I'll be working on changing over the quilts on the Gallery Wire:


Until next time...
Get SCRAPPY!!
