Week 2 ScrapHappy Saturday

It is red week number 2 already!  I hope you are all getting a chance to dig in and play with your scraps.   I have worked my way through the 1.5 inch collection already so today I will tackle the 2 inch strips.   Blackford's Beauty is my plan for these guys. I've been saving the solids specifically to unify the star points.   Looking forward to seeing what scraphapiness everyone else is up to.  This is the awkward time of the year when I try NOT to start every new project I see on someone else's blog.  

As far as local news, friends have been sending me this link to an article about our little corner of Florida.  Covid is in full swing here, hoping for a quick spike on this one as the numbers are just unimaginably high.  I'm starting to run in to a lot of people having their second case.   I am in the minority so far having not been pulled on my planning to cover for sick teachers without subs. I think they have sympathy for the batch that had Covid over the break as we aren't all fully functional again.  Thankfully it was a short week though and I have a weekend to rest and recharge before heading into the battle zone again.     

 

Day 4 of 2022

 

I think that I have firmed up my block plans for #RSC2022.   The Courthouse Steps block have a bulls-eye layout and the broken dishes stars have morphed into a Carpenter's Star.  The Blackford Beauty block is solid though!  It was a quiet day of puttering in the sewing room.  We got a three month trial of Apple TV with a new phone and so I was watching The Morning Show while ironing and trimming.   My red scraps are trimmed nicely into strips, rectangles and squares of the appropriate shapes and size.   By big event of the day was another beach walk at low tide.  

It was on odd sunrise this morning.  There was a lot of cloud cover so it took a while to show up and them quickly darted back into clouds again.   This morning was cold and drizzly, but it turned into a nice afternoon again.   Given the images of so much snow up north, I will enjoy a little damp morning spittle gladly.
