ScrapHappy Saturday - RSC25 - Week 4

Welcome to Week 4 of the 2025 Rainbow Scrap Challenge!!  This week should be back to normal.  We'll see what happens...

Here goes normal...

SUNDAY - ProjectQUILTING

Weekly Morning Art Zoom found me working on the prompts for Dare to Roll, the new Roll the Dice game.  Prompt set one included stamp, circle, map, frame and crosshatch...


Set two's prompt list was thread/string/yarn, orange, tape, stripe, and blue:


After lunch, I was off to the hospital for a CT Scan which didn't take very long, so before I knew it, I was at Britt's for another ART-venture making Bubble Paper.  OK, so Britt made bubble paper and I worked on gathering inspiration for a few of the upcoming Junk Journal January prompts, along with making an alteration of the Altered Book Journal that I'm working in during the challenge:


MONDAY - Work

After a quick stop at the deli, it was time for my Weekly Zoom with LeeAnna @ Not Afraid of Color:


Well...

There goes normal.  That didn't last long, did it?!  I was freezing when I got off my call with LeeAnna and blamed it on the cold water hydration drink that I had consumed.  I couldn't get warm all through dinner and then I noticed that I had a little headache, too.  That's when I went for the thermometer.

Yep!  I had a fever.  :o((

TUESDAY - Day Off / Sick Day

I spent the bulk of the day in bed with a headache and random fever.  I only managed one of the things I had hoped to accomplish. but it was a big win!  I had purchased a shoe organizer and installed it on the back of the studio bathroom door.  My paints are easy to see, are sorted by color, and the process cleared a space on the "art table" end of the large cutting table in the center of my studio:


 And then...

It started SNOWING after dinner!!!

WEDNESDAY - Work/Snow Day

The day started off as a delay and switched to the store being closed for the day.  For ONE INCH of snow?  Yep!  Unnecessarily, as it turned out that the roads were clear when I headed out to the pharmacy.

After lunch, I had some business to take care of and then headed up to the studio where I took care of several projects, including playing with my large gel plate...


And making a decision about how to finish the final prompt for The Ugly Art Club's 5 Minute BINGO challenge:


THURSDAY - Day Off

Once again, I had hoped to attend my (Weekly) Quilt Group meeting.  That didn't happen because the meeting was cancelled because EVERYONE opted out for one reason or another!  That left me open to join this week's Curiosity Collective on Get Messy.  We got a preview of today's Get Messy's Art-Making for Inner Awakening lesson with Jessica Swift whose main message is Art for Self-Care @jessicaswift and here is the journal page that I created:


FRIDAY - Work

I thought I was going to have today off work, but my co-worker wanted to switch days with me.  It was a good thing, since I wasn't feeling great on Tuesday.  It was COLD today, so I was pleased to see this screen saver pop up this morning sending warm vibes.  Oh, WAIT!!!  That's the heater my coworker brought in for us to use:


After dinner, I went upstairs for my Weekly Evening Art Zoom.  I worked on the TISSUE prompt for Junk Journal January:




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.  You go ahead, as I'm heading out to my Quarterly Quilt Bee meeting this morning.  We're having a Sew Day and I'll be working on a PINK scrappy UFO.

My apologies to my RSC Quilters friends for not visiting this week.  Between not feeling great and trying to get a few items checked off my To Do List, I simply couldn't manage it.  I have tiny bit of PINK scrap sewing to share:


That MIGHT be a sneak peek of my upcoming TABLE SCRAPS Challenge entry for Warm Beverage or Anything Cozy.  You know, there's still time to jump in.  The Link Party goes live on Friday, January 31st.  I hope to see YOU there!

Until next time...
Get SCRAPPY!!

  2. Enjoy your Sew Day! It's cold here too and at work, my desk is right in front of the main entrance. YES! Small space heaters are a wonderful invention! And I'm grateful the door doesn't face North. Hope you're feeling better. ;^)

  3. Cold weather and a fever are not a great combination. Glad you're feeling better. Your shoe organizer for your paint supply looks like the perfect idea! Hope you're having a fun sew day!

  4. Never thought to use a shoe organizer to store paint. Thanks for sharing your set up. Beats storing it on shelving.

  8. A little paper/paint therapy and a bit of sewing. Other than the not well feeling, you had a pretty good week.

  9. So sorry you were sick, no fun at all. But you managed to have a very busy and productive week anyway.
