ScrapHappy January

It’s that time again, and I completely forgot!

It’s ScrapHappy day today, and I have failed to post anything, for the first time in 4 years. It’s not just the work I’m doing on In the Arms of the Angels, or the fact that the Husband had multiple medical appointments in the past few days, it’s mostly that we received very bad news yesterday which drove everything else from my mind. Our forthcoming house move is almost certainly not going to happen… Suffice to say that a chain of events has made it impossible to achieve the agreed settlement date, we cannot yet establish a new one, and the owners of the house we are buying will probably put it back on the market. If there’s a miracle, we may still be able to buy it, but a miracle is what it’ll take. We’re both miserable….

Anyway, I did do some scrappy sewing this month, which you’ve already seen, but in case you’ve forgotten, here it is again. These blocks are both for ITAA, and are genuine scrappy blocks, so at least they qualify for today’s post.

My apologies also to those I normal alert with an email a few days in advance. This month, let’s agree to just post our pretty, clever or useful Scrappiness some time around the 15th of the month?

I’m so sorry…

 

 

 

 

 

 

ScrapHappy is open to anyone using up scraps of anything – no new materials. It can be a quilt block, pincushion, bag or hat, socks or a sculpture. Anything made of scraps is eligible. If your scrap collection is out of control and you’d like to turn them into something beautiful or useful instead of leaving them to collect dust in the cupboard, why not join us on the 15th of each month? Either email me at the address on my Contact Me page, or leave a comment below. You can also contact Gun via her blog to join. We welcome new members. You don’t have to worry about making a long term commitment or even join in every month, just let either of us know a day or so in advance if you’re new and you’ll have something to show, so we can add your link. Regular contributors will receive an email reminder three days before the event. Except this month, obviously 😦

Here are the links for everyone who joins ScrapHappy from time to time (they may not post every time, but their blogs are still worth looking at).
