Scrap Happy in January 2026

 In my last post - in December, on Scrap Happy Day - I shared a couple of scrolls I'd been working on. One was for a Christmas gift. Our son created a couple of spools for me out of two different diameter dowels: one for the spool and the larger one for end caps. This is how the Christmas scroll turned out:



I am unable to paint or stain wood due to my chemical intolerances but I did rub some beeswax into the exposed ends of the spool. 

I finished another scroll (that you haven't seen previously) as a gift for a friend.

The beautiful antique bowl was a gift from my husband for the holidays. 😊

 




The first scroll unrolled from the left. I had this second one unroll from the right. This friend loves Dachshunds and snails. Oh, and sunflowers. I was delighted to be able to include all three over the length of the scroll. 

I now have another, slightly larger, Christmas scroll in the works just for the fun of it. I suspect you'll be seeing more scrolls than quilts on Scrap Happy Days this year!
