Days When I Can Feel My Soul Breathe: Part 2

Untitled

On rainy days we snuggle,

we clean,

we read,

we knit,

we sketch,

we play music,

and we reward ourselves with a good beer.

Such is life.

A Wee Wet Adventure

It has been raining for days

and although we have had some sunny patches in between,

the general feel of June, right now, is raw and wet.

And thanks to all this wetness, I think I have inadvertently started a mushroom farm in the garden, they are sprouting up everywhere in droves!!!

So I decided to embrace the wetness.

I took the pups out for a much needed little adventure this morning.

It is no longer raining (for the moment at least), but it sure is soggy!

It was quiet and peaceful, and everything looks lush and happy...

Now I am going to start getting things together and ready to pack in the car for the art fair I am doing tomorrow, maybe I will work on a couple new things as well...

What do you like to do on a rainy day?

Feelin' kinda rambly...

It is so gross and raw and wet here today. There is supposedly a chance of snow later (which I would be more pleased about, yet doubt, being on the coast, we will get). I had a hard time focusing this morning, I was so tired from staying up until almost 3 am which I never do.

I am kind of grannyish when it comes to sleep, I like to go to bed at a reasonable time because I don't like to sleep in and I prefer to get up fairly early. Actually, I have a really hard time sleeping in...

Ok, anyway, I went bowling with a bunch of friends, which we tend to do fairly regularly on wednesday nights. It's super awesome, glow bowling, with the flashy lights and black lights and everything. Yeah, it's that kind of bowling. So it goes until midnight and then we hung out for a bit afterward which was nice, but then I didn't get home until really late...

I did get a bunch of felting done, but now I need to find a model so I can photograph at least a few of the new pieces before they sell. I have also been working on knitting a new pair of fingerless mittens, that's kind of exciting (and distracting when I should be doing other things). I think I have too many things going on in my head today, focusing is really difficult.

Obviously I am a bit rambley today, I'm allowed that right?!!?

These photos are of my little walk the other day (sans icky cold rain) in Halibut Point. I think it is a state park, or maybe it's a reservation? Whatever, I can't remember. But it sure was lovely out that day. I love how blue the water (both ocean and quarry) and sky is, plus the browns and greys of the granite and the fire reds, golds and oranges that are in the low bush leading down to the water. There were also some really beautiful, fluffy clouds dotting the skyline. It was a happy kind of day...

Halibut Point is in rockport, which is the town next to where I live. I live on what I guess is basically a peninsula (although we refer to it as the Island) and Rockport is basically at the end. So you are able to find a spot and just look out over the ocean with no end in sight.

Kinda cool.

Well, I am off to tend to the wood stove, put Posey Bird to sleep and then try and hunt down some chocolate. I am hoping I can find a hidden stash or something.

Hope you are all cozy and warm.

One last thing I would like to share with you tonight (found via Jillian's twitter feed):

We must bring our own light to the darkness.

Night all.

Earth and Sky...

This is such a beautiful video.

I saw it the other day and have been wanting to share it with you!

Make sure to put it on full screen.

It is perfect for a grey, rainy, slow day like today, I think...

Also, I have a new print in the shop!

The perfect little something to represent the essence of spring

and to adorn your wall.

I will have prints of the sea sprite soon.

I hope you all have a glorious weekend...

And Happy Easter!

It has been rainy and windy for the past few days.

And it also really feels like fall...

But I love it,

we needed the rain so badly and I always love a good rainy day!

It is the perfect weather for being lazy and snuggling,

but also for creating!

Today I have been making kimchi and carding wool with my new (to me) carding machine.

I think I might go for a short walk too,

I love walking in the rain,

especially in the woods.

It smells so nice and everything feels so alive!

What do you like to do on rainy days?

Rainy Day and Dreams Of Knitted Things

These photos are great for a rainy day like today...

Ok, I really think I need to learn how to knit....

I mean, I actually do know the basics of knitting,

but I am not very good at it.

And I would like to learn how to follow a pattern.

Really I just want to learn to knit amazing socks and sweaters!

I have to do something with the yarn that I spin, right!?!

Hope you all have a wonderful rainy day!
