The New Orleans House Project, aka Happy Scrappy Houses, came out to play this week. As I made house blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge several years ago, I tried to share a New Orleans house in a matching color. It was fun searching for just the right house to inspire or match my weekly RSC house block.
Now my weekly RSC project is to go back and add RSC-colored wonky borders to each house. This week, several houses joined the yellow neighborhood.
I'm happy to report the wonky borders used up a lot of yellow chunks from the scrap stash.
I miss sharing pictures of New Orleans houses each week, but my job doesn't have me driving around the city as much as a few years ago. If you're interested in seeing more New Orleans houses, check out the following Instagram folks for lots of great photos from the Crescent City!

ReplyDeleteWay to use up some of those YELLOW chunks!! I used up a selected a couple of my own for one of my RSC projects. Didn't get around to the sewing yet.
ReplyDeleteYour yellow neighbourhood has so much great variety. I see Santa likes a little New Orleans colour.
ReplyDeleteThese look very nice. The wonkiness adds to their appeal.
ReplyDeleteSo fun seeing your houses get their wonky sides added. I found my stack of them.... hopefully I'll jump in soon to try some and see if I have better luck this time.

ReplyDeleteThat's such a clever way to add the yellow and get those scraps used. Are these the Newo Orleans houses or the others. Whatever, they are sooo cute.
