creativity this week... sewing, runs with scissors, sketching and a cookie from Not Afraid of Color

welcome to my creativity round up for the week...

This is my rainbow scrap challenge purple piece for the week.... all the papers are now basted and ready for me to hand stitch while watching tv tonight. I love having a variety of scraps so that I can see my fabrics! I'm trying to do dots in all the joining hexie shapes in each colorway.
