Drought?

Not sure about where you are but there is anything but drought going on round here the past few days, and apparently the rest of April is not predicted to be much different. We shall see. The view out front today was decidedly glowering, when it wasn't just pissing it down instead.


With no desire to be outside - obviously - I spent some time on business inside before I turned my mind to more pleasant things. Like attaching the binding to the Siblings quilt. I machine sewed on the front, as per normal. And then I took needle, thread and quilt to the sofa for some quiet hand stitching time.


I spread the quilt upon my lap, got cosy as the rain lashed the window and then I -- um -- well, I promptly fell asleep. I might have made myself a little too cosy apparently. So not much to report here. I have a ton of veg to chop up for the stir fry tonight. Stacks of emails to reply to. And a binding to finish.

But I am rested and relaxed. This is no bad thing.

  2. Just wanted to let you know that I enjoy reading your blog, which I've only recently discovered. Had to laugh at your post regarding the apologies - too funny! Love the ribbons - especially "everything stops for tea" - so cute.

  10. How clever of you to road test the Siblings Quilt! Proof that it does exactly what it should - make someone feel all warm and cozy. And Judith is absolutely forbidden to send you any of our sunshine - we get about three days of it a year, so if it's here I say we need to keep it - sorry Susan!

  15. It hadn't occurred to me that England could experience drought too. Although I agree, that weather picture doesnt look much like a place in drought.

    Sitting down here is always like playing russian roulette...I fall asleep a lot.

  16. It's so funny that you find binding so relaxing. It's the worse part for me. I HATE binding. It takes for-freaking-ever.
