ScrapHappy Saturday - Fall and Fun

I took a group of kids on a college tour on Thursday.  This is them walking into one of the buildings on the Florida Polytechnic campus.  If you have driven from Orlando to Tampa, you have seen the big cage like framework of the main building on campus.   It was a fun day for the kids with no problems and we came home with the same 42 kids we started out with.  All just what you need on field trip day! We also managed to have the gifted meetings that were scheduled during the hurricane so hopefully we can start getting back to normal again. 
No sewing photos to share today, so here is a sunrise instead.   Sydney called yesterday sick with strep and wanted to come home to be sick here instead of her dorm room.   A hasty pack up of the sewing room followed.  I will start setting up the new sewing room at some point to avoid the constant packing and unpacking, but with Kurt working on remodeling the bathroom, it is still quite a bit of a mess most of the time.  
How are your sewing projects coming along?  There will not be "official" colors for the next two months.  The end of the year is reserved for assembly of blocks and finishing of tops.   However, if you still feel the block piecing vibe, I encourage you to dig into the browns and blacks to make some sense of the darks before the end of the year is officially here.

Glad things are getting back to normal for you! After years of COVID plus a hurricane, I think normal is vastly underrated. I hope your daughter is better soon.

So glad you had a successful field trip! I remember counting, counting, and counting again to make sure I still had all the kids. :) Hope Sydney feels better soon.

Glad it was a good college visit trip. It's always nice to have everything go as planned. Poor Sydney. Of course she would want to be home sick vs. being sick in the dorm. Good choice, Sydney. Get well soon.

Always a bonus when you come back from a field trip with the same number of student you took along! Most of the parents tend to like that, as well. :P
Here's hoping Syd feels better soon!

I love your sunrise pictures.

Beautiful sunrise. Hopefully Sydney is feeling better, it is miserable being sick at school. Hopefully all the remodel work is done soon and you can get back to a dedicated sewing space.
