ScrapHappy Saturday

Hi, this is Angela's husband.  She is in Kansas City this weekend so she asked me to post this linkup.

Not So Slow on Sunday

Handwork in the only kind of sewing I've been up to lately.  I got the first two diamonds done on the way to our first layover in New York on the way to Paris.  Two more then completed on the long flight to Paris, though it was overnight and I tried to sleep most of the way.

A bit more sewing happened on the train from Paris to Barcelona.  Rather more than I had planned actually as there were a few delays.  They gave us a nice box lunch though, and we all got a bit of a nap on the trip.
I'm all packed up again now, and still had plenty of hexies prepped.  I'll just remove the finished diamonds and be off again.  This week I am grading AP essays in Kansas City.  I think the flight is not quite 3 hours, so there will be time for a few more hexies today for sure.
I'm going to link up with Kathy today for Slow Stitching Sunday.  Its been a while since I checked in, so it will be nice to see what progress everyone has made.

So apparently something went terribly wrong with the blog post while I was away.  I had of course scheduled everything before leaving for Paris and Barcelona, knowing that once I was away it would be hopeless to try to keep up.  I came back sick and had to work all week, so its been quite  mad dash.  Tomorrow I am off to Kansas City to read AP essays.  After that, the rest of the summer should be smooth sailing.
Now it is a new month, with a new color.  How did June sneak in there?  June colors are aqua and turquoise, did I mention that earlier? The block this month is called Country Lanes.  Fortunately I had worked ahead on the blocks or I would have been really scrambling.

Mari posted the tutorials on her blog and I will whip up a PDF as soon as I finish this post.

   Misterlinky is below, hopefully it will all work out better this week.

Technical Issues

Something went wrong with the scheduled post while I was away.  I'll try again today.

 It is a nice simple block this month for squared away.  Mari has instructions at her blog as always. 

I was lucky to finish mine ahead of time. 
Anna and I should be back from our European adventure late tonight.  Until then, happy sewing.

ScrapHappy June

A new month is a new color here at the rainbow scrap challenge.  So finish up the last of your pinks and pull out teal and turquoise.  Anything that is not quite blue and not quite green will work this month.  Think of warm Caribbean water.  

ScrapHappy Saturday - Last Pink Saturday

It is hard to believe that May is almost over.  Even more so than usual, the end of the school year has kept me busy.  The fun is not quite over as Anna and I are off to Paris and Barcelona in just a few hours.  I'll be back late next Saturday, so I'll be sure to schedule a post for next Saturday before we head out to the airport.
I've got plenty of hexie diamonds to work on while sitting on planes, trains and busses.  Hopefully I'll be able to add some pink to this slowly growing collection.
How are your pinks coming along?  The linky party is below.  Please share with us all.  I'll try to check in as long as the wifi holds out.

ScrapHappy Saturday - Graduation Weekend

It is graduation weekend and  my sewing room has been turned into a guest bedroom once again.  Kurt's dad and sister have come for the weekend.  The ceremony was last night and I was able to go up with Anna while she got her diploma.  We had three teacher's children graduating this year and we were all there with them as they walk across the stage.  Anna was off to project graduation right after and is just now home again.  She just got back from science fair Thursday where she earned second place for her project modifying a 3-D printer to make cartilage.  She gets to name an asteroid!  Today though, I think that she will sleep.  I've got some hand sewing pulled out in case there is time.  Maybe while watching the royal wedding and drinking a bit of tea?    Just three more school days until summer vacation.  Not that anyone is counting.

ScrapHappy Saturday - Smells Like Roses

It's been a brutal week.  It went fast though, and the weekend snuck up on me.  The first week of AP testing is done.  Mine is on Monday, so I hope the kids will be ready.  I'll go in bright and early to make them pancakes before the big test.  Anna is off for science fair bright and first thing tomorrow morning.  She'll be back just in time for graduation next Friday.  Where has the time gone?
Still, even with all of that on the horizon, things are starting to calm down.  I was spending a lot of time working on switching my curriculum over to new textbooks next year, but there were a few funding hiccups, so all of that might not be necessary after all.  In a wait and see mode on that, sewing the day away sounds like a super plan.

I seem to have plenty of pinks to keep me busy for a while.  Having two girls means that pink in one of my big scrap bins.

ScrapHappy Saturday - Tickled Pink

Roll out the rose and pink, and new month has begun!

 Mari has posted directions for the new squared away block.  I'll post a link on the Squared away tab and here when the pdfs file for the tutorial is ready to go.

I finished my blocks earlier.  I was really happy with how the darker rose added nice contrast to the pink scraps.
