ScrapHappy Yellow Begins

 

And so begins a new month at Rainbow Scrap Challenge.  I was happy to make enough progress with aqua to not feel bad putting it away to make room for the yellow and gold parade.  It is utterly a coincidence that the colors of the Uranian Flag are yellow and blue, but I plan to lean into that this month.  I am thinking a nice blue string block with a yellow Dresden Plate would be a fun idea to play with.  I will keep you posted of course!  I had just gotten to the point where all the yellow was out and starting to get organized when Anna decided to come home from college early for this weekends trip to Rhode Island which was a replacement for last weekends trip to Rhode Island which was cancelled due to snow.  She is there now, with her dad and I am getting regular updates on all the news.  Sydney is in Orlando at another science fair.  I drove her over last night for the set-up and she insisted that she was perfectly capable of driving herself there today.  She is also reporting in regularly with status updates. 

So far her board is set up and she is ready for judging to start at 9.  Notice the colors on her board, they represent the pigments that she extracted to construct dye-sensitized solar cells.  

So other than keeping tabs on everyone else, it should be a calm weekend to sew.   I found a nice stack of yellow HST unit all ready for the Carpenter's Star block.   I might try another version with a blue center star.  This is a huge block and would make a nice table topper on its own.

I hope that you are all looking forward to digging into yellow for March.   Misterlnky is below, please share your projects and plans with us all.

The Carpenter's Star block will be a beautiful and shiny happy block.
Looking forward to knowing more about the blue and yellow blocks you are planning.

I love the idea of the yellow carpenter star with a blue star in the middle! That will be gorgeous and in keeping with current events, horrible as they are.
