ScrapHappy Saturday - RSC24 - Week 44

Welcome to Week 44 of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!!  This week was filled with work, errands and meetings.  I'm guessing you are here to see the quilting.  If so...

You might have to look really hard, as my attention was elsewhere...

SUNDAY - The day began with my Weekly Morning Art Zoom.  I worked on filling my "mark" book with additional pages of art marks:

Later, I noticed the last rose of summer is fading fast:

MONDAY - Work

Due to conflicting schedules, this week's Zoom with LeeAnna @ Not Afraid of Color occurred just after I got home from work today.  Boy, was it ever good to catch up after two weeks of not chatting:

TUESDAY - Tidy Up Tuesday

Work

Construction Update...

The "Dirt Parade" has resumed at the smaller neighborhood addition down the street.  Loads and loads of dirt have to be brought in prior to beginning to build:

WEDNESDAY - Day Off

It's the first day of my 5-day weekend!!  :o))

What's on tap for today, Joyful???

It's errand day.  The list includes a trip to the bank, a stop at my favorite coffee shop for a Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll, and a bit of grocery shopping.

The first stop was supposed to be to drop a small load of decluttered items off at Goodwill, but they were closed in order to pack stuff for their move to a new location.  Between the coffee shop and the grocery store I won the voting lottery!  The wait was 10 minutes (max!)  There were only 8 people in line ahead of me when I walked into the polling place:

THURSDAY - Happy Halloween!!!

It's the 2nd day of my 5-day weekend and I've got another full day planned.

I had hoped to attend my Weekly Quilt Group, but the timing was too tight, as I had planned to meet my SIL in Greensboro for tea and an art chat at Vida Pour Tea:

I had some time between that and time to be in Hillsborough later so I stopped at a shop that I noticed around the block from the tea shop:

I stopped at Britt's before our Monthly Evening Quilt Bee meeting and very nearly forgot to get a group photo until we were all on our way out the door:

FRIDAY - The Guest Blogger(s)

Day 3 of my 5-day weekend!!  Sigh... I got called in to work today.  As it turned out, Knit Group was canceled, so I didn't miss the meeting.  Whew!  I feel like I've missed more than I've attended recently.  :o((

Welcome to November!!  Can you believe that my azalea bush still looks like this???  It is one of my three favorite plants that came with this property and this is why:

Later, I captured this photo for my friend Dee Dee.  She gave me those happy daisies and the little pink flowers were a surprise bonus.  I decided to share them here, as well:

After dinner, I enjoyed my Weekly Evening Art Zoom.  I worked on finishing the collage I started at Britt's house last night:

SATURDAY - It's LINK PARTY day for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!  Unfortunately, Angela @ So Scrappy forgot to add the party to her post.  I'll miss seeing what the RSC Quilters have been up to this week. (UPDATE:  Party has begun!)

I wanted to share the following from a couple of comments last week...

Chantal of At the Corner of Scraps and Quilts blog wanted to see what the back of my scrappy Circle Denim quilt looked like.  I attached the following photo (of one portion of it) to my reply to her comment, but thought others might like to have a look, as well:

Jeanne from Loving Retirement wanted to know how big my Circle Denim quilt was and said that it looks huge.  Well friends, it IS huge!  I hadn't measured it, but will to that now.

Drum roll, please!!!

The quilt measures 86 inches square.  It weighs nearly NINE POUNDS (and it's not finished yet!!!)  It currently weighs 8.8 lbs. to be exact:

It covers our king size bed with about a 3" drop on the sides.

Until next time...

Get SCRAPPY!!
