My Nerds!!! Long time no see! I’m so glad the Nerd Games has carried on, and want to whole-heartedly thank the crew who took up the reins! I appreciate everyone who was so understanding of my abrupt absence in the before times, and am so glad the Games didn’t fizzle.
Thanks to bunny1kenobi and storer for reaching out, too, and catching me up! I’ve been so out of the loop, I didn’t even know LC existed until last week! 
I’m going to try to post some projects, and life is also Very Hectic, so I definitely won’t be able to be as involved as I used to be. I want craftiness and the Games to have a place in my life again, though! I’ve missed all of you and am glad to be back in some form!

Last fall, we did different team names for the season. We had:
Resting Grinch Face
Gingerbread Mayhem
Up to Snow Good
Raking and Entering
We still have two months left of the summer season, but I’m starting to think ahead. Do we want to keep these team names, or come up with new ones?
- Keep the normal team names
- Change to the seasonal team names from last year
- Let’s do completely new names!

If you have suggestions for new names, please share!
Last year, @bluebird provided us with fun extra prompts with her advent calendar. Bluebird, would you want to do the same or something similar again this fall?
And one last thing… Team Paletteable Art doesn’t seem too popular. Do we want to drop to three teams only during our normal seasons? Or do you have a suggestion for a team name in place of paletteable art? If you have any suggestions for team names or fun activities we could do as a group that will keep things fun and active, please share your ideas!
I am not opposed to dropping Paletteable Art team as we currently have a small active group.

It looks like we might want all new team names? Here are a few I found/thought of:
So Corn-fused
Gourd of the Rings
Don’t Stop Beleafing
Squashing It
Life is Gourd
Glove You
Just Snowing Off
If you guys have suggestions or any particular favorites from this list, let me know! We can narrow it down to 3 or 4 team names and have fun this fall

Don’t Stop Beleafing is going to be hard to beat for me.

I agree! I think Don’t Stop Beleafing would definitely have to be my chosen team name

What is everyone up to this weekend? I am working on a project that is probably going to make me lose any sanity and eyesight I have left 
I’d also like to say happy birthday to @craftADDchick! I hope it’s a good one!

Thanks! I spent the day with my mom and we tested out a couple of methods for FPP (Foundation Paper Piecing) so we can each make a Dear Jane quilt. I made two test blocks, but I need to make one more because I messed up on something (the block still came out pretty well), so I want to make sure that the method still works.

The fun continues in the Fall 2021 Nerd Games! We will be doing the advent again this fall. Every Sunday, I will post a new prompt for the season. These prompts are open all season, just as the normal prompts are. @Smeddley will still post the regular prompts at the beginning of every month. The only time sensitive prompts, as always, are the monthly battles. We hope to see you in the fall season!
