ScrapHappy Saturday


 Two weeks ago, Kurt was shaking a can of primer in preparation for some touch up painting in the garage.   The gallon exploded all over the floor and my car.   We managed to clean up most of that mess, but this weekend we are painting the garage floor.  I get to do the tossing of the speckles into the wet paint.   Sydney is finally coming home today for the holiday.  Exams were over a the week before last, but she was still working until closing today.   Yesterday was my last day of school before the break and it was actually a holiday for Kurt because Christmas is on a Monday this year.   So the holiday fun will officially begin!
I need a few more dark green hexies.  I think there are 14 diamonds per row, so just 10 more to finish off this row.   I am liking the contrast of the darker shade after the light green and light yellow rows.   I know that things will be busy during the holidays for many of you, but I hope that you all find some time to slow down and enjoy some quiet time as well.   I am starting to think about plans for next year.   Lots of finishing of ongoing projects of course, but hopefully something new to mix in.....

Your hexies look great, and they are the perfect project for a busy holiday weekend. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Your hexies are beautiful, Angela. I'm glad to hear that everyone's holidays are beginning and we can enjoy each other's company. Handwork is always a blessing to keep our hands busy, our ears open, and our hearts full. Merry Christmas!

Hope you had great Christmas having a house full of kids and family after not having then around can be (in my case) stressful.
Was glad to see you are going to continue being the leader for RSC I really fell off the wagon last year doing QUILT OF VALOR but have told my self to pick a day and devote it to making my blocks using scraps (have like 10 different one I'm making). Since I don,t have a creative mind was wondering if you could add a suggestion for center of happy blocks in RSC color. But know you are busy (husband is retired teacher and I could not be a teacher).
Looking forward to new color of month and have a happy new year.
