Thanks for your well-wishes about the sickies. My kids are still coughing, coughing, coughing, but other symptoms are very mild. It's a funny cold though, cause their appetites are hit or miss and they've been so tired. Tonight we put them both to bed at 6:15. Seriously! I guess that means I should have a productive night! Well, I should include that our kids normally go to bed at 7 - 7:30 (yep, that's my secret if you've ever wondered how I get things done...).
So, anyways, I did make 2 more improv blocks on Saturday. Tonight I aim to actually make something with them, but I don't know how much I should show you. My secret partner may be lurking around, making guesses. Or, maybe, she's clueless, who knows?
I can show you this mini batch of scrappy cards. I forgot to bring my iron to scrapbooking night on Saturday (and, would you know, no one else brought one - sheesh). So, I didn't get much done.
Making scrappy cards is always fun, but it comes up a wee bit depressing every time how few scraps I used in the end. I know, I know, I'm like a broken record on the scrap front! But, hey, I actually have a plan. And it involves you (shocker). I'm thinking a ticker tape scrappy quilt-along is in order a bit later in the year. Raise your hand if you're game!
Until then, I'll just keep making more scraps. And here I go again...
beautiful photos! I especially love your fabrics and blocks peeking out in the first one!
ReplyDeleteI looove your handmade cards. I would love to try out a tree. are they easy to make?
ReplyDeleteThe trees are a bit fiddly, but doable for sure. I like to make them when I have someone to talk to!

Raising my hand for the ticker tape quilt a long... I've wanted to make one for a while now. And heaven known, I save every tiny little scrap!
ReplyDeleteI'm in for ticker tape, too! I've been wanting to make one!
ReplyDeleteYour cards look lovely!
ReplyDeleteoh, oh, oh, 'waves hands in the air' I want to play.
ReplyDeleteLove the cards, what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI love the green and aqua fabrics together - great combo! And I have been thinking of making a ticker tape quilt so I may have to jump on the quilt along... hmm.
ReplyDeleteyou know I always love everything you do! I'm loving that new card design that looks like stacked bowls!
ReplyDeletePale blue and pale green work so well together! Such a fresh combination to lift us out of the grey winter !
ReplyDeleteI love what you have happening in that first photo! And, I'm always a fan of your cards. Is there anyone else at your scrapbooking night using fabrics? I think it's so original, but I am not a scrapbooker, so maybe I'm wrong. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, no, I'm the only one! I bring a sewing machine and fabric scraps and usually my iron - the whole shabang. It's funny!
ReplyDeleteI'm in for the ticker tape - but have to finish the colorbrick quilt along first! I'm at the cutting stage now, so i'd better get moving.
ReplyDeleteI would love to quilt along to a ticker tape project. I have more scrapes than I care to admit to, and I can't bare to throw them away! I love the idea of a ticker tape quilt! Count me in.
