rainy Tuesday

It is raining here in the Triangle area of NC, and boy do I mean RAINING!
The pier is flooded.
The duck house is flooded.
The goose's nesting pen is flooded.
Our yard has multiple "ponds" in it.
And I am nice and dry at home.
It sounds like a good day to finish canning some grape jelly, do some ironing, and tackle those two bedrooms a little more.

And I had a little motivation in the room renovations from an unusual place: a magazine. I don't usually buy magazines, but this one caught my eye in the bookstore the other day.  It's titled cloth paper scissors studios and the entire edition highlights different studios and their artists.  Almost all of them do something with fabric, and at least four of them mainly quilt. It's taken me almost a week to look and read through it, and I have absolutely enjoyed it!  It's only put out four times a year, but there is an ad on their website where you can buy all four issues from 2 years ago on a CD (for the price of one magazine!).  I'm not sure that would be quite as enjoyable though. While I didn't get any ideas for my room now, it did make me want to hurry up and get my room in working order so I can start tackling projects on an organized and regular basis.

So happy rainy Tuesday and may you find time to accomplish at least one indoor activity today! :)
