ScrapHappy Saturday - Post Thanksgiving Nap

It has been a busy but excellent Thanksgiving holiday on the road visiting family. That has meant plenty of time in the car sewing hexies. The bottom and top borders are done! I think I will spend the trip home rounding it all out with another row of dark hexies to frame the whole thing up. I added some extra light hexies to straighten up the sides, it is all getting very close to being done! I hope that you are starting to think about which projects you can finish up before the new year to make room for something new. I know a lot of you will be partaking in Bonnie's anual mystery quilt. I have not partaken in several years, but it will still be fun to follow along and watch all the beautiful creations emerge while I try to get a few flimsies accross the finish line. Misterlinky is below. Please share your progress with us all.

ScrapHappy Saturday

 Happy almost Thanksgiving! Until very recently, we still worked most of the week before the Thanksgiving holiday. We have a new schedule though, and have an entire week off!  How lovely is that?  There will be quite a bit of hexie sewing in my future as we drive to gather the kids from college. I am SEW close to having the final borders done for my long term hexie diamond project. Like all hexie quilts, I just have to figure out how to complete the edges to make them non hexagonal.  Wish me luck! How are your RSC projects coming together as the year starts to wind down?  The linky tool is below. Please share your holiday sewing plans with us all. For those who don't have a holiday this week, share your regular sewing plans with us instead. Any sewing plans at all are festive and fun. 

ScrapHappy Saturday - Putting the Pieces Together

There are no official colors in November and December at the the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Hopefully you have a collection of blocks to put together. Perhaps you have a bit of catching up to do. Soon there should be a finished quilt or two ready to be born. I have the blocks for Hen and Chicks patiently waiting for a bit of free time. I keep saying that the busy part of my job is going to be over soon. I think that might be accurate right now as applications are in, the fair is over and I might enjoy a bit of calm. 

How are your projects starting to come together? I hope that your block collections are coming together nicely Misterlinky is below, please share with us all.

ScrapHappy Saturday - On the Road Again

I am in Ohio today for Uncle Bob's Family Memorial Service. I got here via DC where I went for the National Blue Ribbon Schools ceremony. Monday is veterans day, so I will have a day in the mountains before heading back home again. I did bring hexies to sew on he go though, so I will have at least a bit of time to stitch. I hope that your scraps are coming together nicely.

ScrapHappy Saturday - Lights and Tunnels

Sailing last weekend was lovely! We don't usually get sunsets here, just the rises, so it was such a fun change to watch the sun sink down into the ocean. 

The sailboat was adorable though rustic. Kurt did all the work of prepping and shopping because he is remarkable and I have been a crazy lady lately. Things will settle down very soon. 

I think I can see the light! Yesterday was the career fair and I should be able to go back to normal work hours for while. Hurray for having some time off. Just one more busy week with the trip to DC for our Blue Ribbon celebration I hope flying to DC the day after the election isn't  bad idea. 

I got up bright and early to turn in a paper about multimodal teaching methods. It is a beautiful thing! Mostly though, it is done and I will settle in to relax with some hexies for a bit of sewing time. So sorry about the late start again today. I truly do hope to get back into some sewing routine soon. I am sure that you are all sewing enough to make up for my neglect.

Here is Kurt who was one of our career day speakers. Isn't he cute? His topic was "Space Domain Awareness, What We Don't Know Could Hurt Us". He said the kids had great questions and seemed interested in what he had to say, he brought one of the new grads from his office as well. We had a #1 New York Times bestselling author, our Florida state congressional representative, doctors and lawyers and engineers a plenty.  50 speakers and 1000 student schedules and food and logistics, it was all a lot so I am happy that it is done so that I can sleep again at night. I think that sewing some and binging some Netflix is a great plan for the rest of the day.
