Read on to discover the truth...
SUNDAY - Weekly Morning Art Zoom found me decorating the No Sew journal that I made with paint chips yesterday afternoon:
Apparently, it took 2 days to develop a rash from my latest Covid shot. By evening the itch was driving me insane! Thankfully, this is the first time I've had this reaction and hopefully the last:
MONDAY - Work
After work, I raced home to make it to my Zoom with LeeAnna @ Not Afraid of Color:
TUESDAY - Work
I was wrong about last week's rose being the last one of summer! Our recent warm weather has coaxed yet another fine specimen out of my plant:
WEDNESDAY - Day Off!!
Let's try this, again... It's the 1st day of my 8-day weekend!! What??? It sure would have been nice to know ahead of time. I might have planned to go somewhere besides the grocery store! Sigh... The "dirt parade" continues in the new section up the street. What the following photo doesn't show are the 3 trucks I passed on the way out of my neighborhood and the 2nd truck that was turning onto the road, as I waiting for the light to change:
THURSDAY - Weekly Quilt Group
I was there, but I can't prove it because I forgot to get a group picture!!! :o((
After lunch...
I filled my time with art. I'm starting Treasure Trovember from Kelly @ Collage Lab and completed Days 1 - 7 on the collage shown below. The prompts were to add the following... a grid, a building, something that flies, stripes, a crowd, pink, and a word:
Apparently, my rose bush isn't done blooming yet. ANOTHER bud popped out and opened today:
FRIDAY - I skipped Knit Group this morning because I had a 10AM art class. It was called Rae and the Season of Binding...
I made this journal page using watercolor for the swatching and floral elements & acrylic for the stenciling and color wheel elements:
Once dinner was done, I went up to the studio for my Weekly Evening Art Zoom. I worked on decorating my 2 latest No-Sew Journals inspired by Meg Journals' No Sew November challenge. This is the first year she's offered it and it's been interesting thus far:
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. I think I caught up with most participants this week. At the very least, I did better than I sometimes do. :o))
Here's the only sewing that MIGHT take place this week...
But first, it was time for my Weekly Zoom with Knittingsuek:
This afternoon, I finally set some time aside to watch a video stepping me through the process of Judy's Magic Cast-On and now my latest pair of socks has been started:
That wraps up this week. With a number of extra days off work, I'm hoping that next week may include a fair amount of sewing. Only time will tell.
Until next time...
Get SCRAPPY!!
socks! Do you use a specific pattern? I have sock yarn and one sock of a pair made... many moons ago (back before kids!). 8 days off! Wow, I would love that. Hope you find something fun to do.
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous rose, Joy! I hope you enjoy your time off and get lots done. The peek at your sewing is intriguing!
ReplyDeleteWait, what? An 8 day weekend? Is that to get you ready for the dreaded Christmas shopping season? I love that you still have roses blooming. We had a hard frost about a week ago which finished off everything but the chrysanthemum blooms. But, not to worry, the deer took care them this week.

We just had another Covid booster too, luckily no reaction like you had.
ReplyDeleteWe have a little rose that keeps on blooming. I think it may finally be done but I'm not certain.
