Scraphappy Day June 2023

The 15th of the month and Scraphappy Day has whizzed round really fast again and, not having managed to produce anything for last month, I grabbed the scraps left over from the circular tablecloth I made for the garden table and made some matching coasters.

Sorry it’s boring and I have to ask the question ‘do we really need coasters for an outside table?’ but I was determined to produce something this time and, in my defence, I had just finished writing a long project post and needed to get on with life so couldn’t spend too much time on this one.

Also – lunchtime drink??  Well, it also happens to be my birthday so a good excuse for a glass of something and will probably have a couple more later when we go out for a celebratory dinner.

Cheers 🍷

I will try harder next month and, in the meantime, please have a look at these almost definitely far more interesting efforts.

Scraphappy Day is organised by Kate & Gun for anybody who wants to make new things from scraps of any kind – doesn’t have to be fabric or yarn.  Here’s a list of participants – both regular and occasional – if you want to have a look at the sort of things you can do with scraps.

Contact Kate or Gun (first names on the list) if you want to join in.

      Thank you. It’s certainly beautiful weather for a birthday – we might even be able to eat in the outside dining area of the pub/restaurant tonight.

    happy birthday! and even if you don’t need coasters outdoors, you could always bring them indoors, no?

    Happy Birthday, Lynn! And Happy Birthday Weekend – you deserve one!
    As far as I’m concerned, coasters are always nice to have, indoors or out.
    Cheers! 🎂 🎉 🥂 🍾

    Happy happy birthday & coasters to put your birthday drink on outdoors can always be used indoors too 🎉

    Happy Birthday!

    • #15 by tialys on June 16, 2023 - 10:34

      Thank you Sandra – we went to the Lord Poullet Arms in Hinton St. George which was excellent – probably a bit too far over for you though.

      • #16 by Wild Daffodil on June 16, 2023 - 11:48

        Good to know if I’m out that way.
        So glad you had a good time.

    You know, you *could* have told us you took the photo when the sun was over the yardarm… Anyway, nobody here is judging, we’re just jealous. And you can never have too many coasters. Never…

    • #22 by tialys on June 16, 2023 - 10:37

      I had a couple more once the sun was actually over the yardarm 😉

      • #23 by katechiconi on June 16, 2023 - 11:14

        As is only right and proper on one’s birthday.

  10. #24 by Laurie Graves on June 16, 2023 - 13:10

    Cheers is right! A very happy birthday to you. And I think those coasters are charming, a perfect accompaniment for the tablecloth.

  11. #26 by rutigt on June 16, 2023 - 14:04

    Of course we need coasters for an outdoor table! Anything you create must be used (old saying from somewhere) Skål and Happy Birthday!

  12. #27 by tialys on June 16, 2023 - 15:02

    Thank you x

  13. #28 by mlmcspadden on June 16, 2023 - 15:21

    Happy birthday! and good idea to make the matching coasters. =)

  14. #30 by Susan Nixon on June 17, 2023 - 04:10

    Coasters DO keep the drips off bare legs. Happy birthday!

  15. #32 by Born To Organize on June 18, 2023 - 15:17

    I’m late to visit. Happy belated birthday. Cheers🍷

    coasters “protect” and cloth ones can easily be in the wash, if they’ve had to be used for a spill or similar…
