Delay

 So sorry for the delay today.  I am in Orlando without a computer this weekend and DH is trying to post for me 

ScrapHappy Saturday - Purple Pride

Thanks to the long Easter Weekend, I finally got some purple blocks up on the wall. It felt so good to just dig in and start putting scraps together.

Time will tell as to whether I have a bit more mental bandwidth today to put together some more detailed blocks.   There may just be a lot of simple blocks this month!  Sydney has come home for the weekend!  The end of the semester is near and we will have her and Ryan back for a bit.   They grow up so fast!

Still lacking in purple on the design wall.  I am getting caught up bit by bit though.   

There is purple in the pipeline though, so it will be on the wall soon enough.   

There is an extra day this weekend to sew with the Easter holiday.  Looking forward to a nice walk on the beach and some time with the machine.   

How are your purple scraps coming together? Misterlinky is below, please share with us all.

ScrapHappy Saturday - Purple

A new month at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge means a new color and we are ready to do a deep dive into purple!

I wish I could claim to have made great progress on green.  These three tiny green blocks tell a different story.  I do have plenty of pieces cut for plus blocks and sawtooth stars, so they will continue as leaders and enders while I sort through purple.   

I think that April will still be busy at work with dual enrollment things, but May will have to slow down as most of my time will be devoted to monitoring standardized tests.  Our school district has had quite a week with two principals and a guidance counselor all arrested for driving drunk last weekend and then the interim superintendent being put on leave on Tuesday.  It is all quite a mess, but it isn't my mess and I will keep doing what I do.  Prom was last night, we still have senior projects and grad bash to get through, and of course, graduation.   Seniors are making their college choices now and it is always exciting for them to plan the next steps.  

ScrapHappy Saturday - Home Again

 

We had fun and got some work done in Virginia last week, but now it is back home again to a different kind of work.  

The sun is rising later with daylight saving, but I try to peek at it on the drive to work.   Not much sewing time this week with Kurt out of town and evening meetings for me, but hopefully I can make up for lost time this weekend.  There is always laundry and the house could use some love, but my green scraps are sadly calling me for some attention.   

ScrapHappy Saturday - Spring Green

I really thought that we would be seeing lots of greens for spring in Virginia this week. It is still quite chilly most days though and we instead saw a spring snow! We are all out as soon as it warms up each day though. For the most part we have been cleaning up. We have a new UTV to help in the hauling of heavy things and have been having lots of fun driving around the property in circles grabbing up mulch, logs or abandoned appliances from years gone by.  We will rent a dumpster and have it all hauled away at once this summer.   Anna has come up for the weekend and is hoping to plant something in the garden.   No sewing right now, but I am hoping to enjoy the greens that you all have to share.  

ScrapHappy Saturday - Spring Break Edition

 Ah, for the love of vacations!  So nice to have a nice change of pace to look forward to.  Long happy days of nothing await.  I hope you have great green blocks to share.  Misterlinky is below.  

Mini Block Mani

 

I got a bit behind in the Mini Mania blocks last month.  I thought that February would be calm in the new job, but it didn't work out that way.  Still lots of lovely weekends to enjoy though and I am putting together so many tiny happy bits of fabric today.  I am getting a haircut this morning and then Anna is coming home for spring break!  She really wants to see the boyfriend more than us, but as she wasn't planning on coming home at all, it is still a win.  Next week is spring break for the rest of us.  I am very much looking forward to a change of scenery. It is hard to argue with the 70 and balmy ocean breeze, but working outside instead of on the computer will be refreshing.  Check out the mini mania page for block names and pattern sources if you are interested.  

ScrapHappy Saturday - Its Green for March

 Excited to look at a new color, though I still have bits of pink to finish up.  How are your green scraps looking so far?
