Yellow!!! March's Rainbow Scrap Challenge color

 I'm in!! I'm digging into the yellow scraps in my bin, and I might have pulled out a Fat Quarter or two!!


First I pulled out the strips and big pieces - I even found a few 5 inch squares - so you know those had to be stitched up!!!

I have been trying SO hard to get my 15 minutes of stitching a day in - and truthfully - all but our vacations days - I think I have! At least this last week I did!! 



Now those 5 inch squares are stitched and trimmed - 

My Poor Baby Bella - she gave up on me - and found a sunny spot to nap.

I am glad she can nap when I am stitching, but the second I stand up to iron ....


She thinks its time to play!!



Got more of my Scraps out and organized . This may not be the way you would organize haha! but I actually know what is in those piles!!


Daisy also gave up... but she always keeps that one eye open - just in case I want to play!!












Progress is being made on the yellow - If I do it right - THIS WILL BE THE YEAR - that I can close the lid on the scrap bucket, and maybe prevent that bucket from being SO heavy... haha!!!

YELLOW!! If you google it - there is some not so nice ideas of what yellow represents and some very nice ideas. I happen to like Positive - so I am going with that!!


Intellect

Yellow is mentally stimulating and improves functions like memory, analysis, and problem-solving. It promotes higher cognitive performance and activates an inquisitive, knowledge-seeking state of mind. Yellow sparks intellectual engagement psychologically.


Optimism

Yellow elicits feelings of hope, positivity, enthusiasm, and self-assurance. It has a psychological relationship with cheerful outlooks and confidence in achieving success. Yellow evokes uplifting emotions and optimistic perspectives psychologically.


Creativity

Yellow enhances free-flowing creative thinking and imaginative abilities. It allows the mind to make abstract connections and conceive innovative ideas. Yellow unlocks psychological inventiveness.


Clarity

During moments of mental overload or stress, yellow provides psychological clarity. It slices through cluttered thoughts to bring heightened focus and rational order. Yellow clears away confusion psychologically.


Decision-Making

By activating the intellect and muting emotions, yellow aids quick, decisive choices between options. It empowers objective analysis to weigh alternatives and make rational decisions without second-guessing.


Energy

Bright yellow tones stimulate and energize the mind and body in a psychological way. Yellow counteracts sluggishness and passivity, inducing a psychologically activated, alert state.



I am sort of guessing that Angela chose yellow this month because she remembered the time change - and knew that we would need some energy to get thru the day - so Yellow JUST MIGHT DO IT 😅😅

Good job! I made a really good dent in the yellow last year. It's actually the ONE scrap bin that isn't overflowing right now. LOL

Your organization system seems very familiar to me! ;) You know, great minds think alike. LOL! I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Thanks for sharing the info on the meanings of yellow... or as I said when I was little... "Lellow" It was my grandma's favorite color and she told everyone who would listen. Thanks for joining my party.

It's always fun to make even a little dent in the scrap bins. Looking forward to seeing what comes out of that sunny pile of scraps.
