ScrapHappy Saturday - RSC24 - Week 45

Welcome to Week 45 of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!!  This week, I thought I might sew on my TABLE SCRAPS Challenge project for this month.  Will that happen?

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!!

  1. 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.

  3. Wait, 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.

  5. We have a little rose that keeps on blooming. I think it may finally be done but I'm not certain.

  7. A journal made from paint chips! Cool! And I love the color you chose. I hope you are continuing to enjoy your looooong weekend! I’m sewing but not something that fits the parameters for RSC. I’ll show when it is finished….hopefully this week.
