Sure is dark out!  That rain that was supposed to come at noon arrived much earlier!  And we were going to go out this morning for a quick trip to a local place...alas, no more...not in this weather.      And it's forecast to continue until noon tomorrow.  Good thing we got a lot of the yard work done yesterday.  Things like mowing, trimming, weeding, transplanting, etc.

And it's fairly cool...not even in the 70's yet.  Course, the high is only in the upper 70's.

So how did you like the finished miniature studio.  The pictures really catch the tiny elements like the folded fabric in the box on one of the shelves.  Or the magazines next to the stuffed chair.

I am caught up to date with my summer camp experiences with one exception.  And that's not a summer camp problem...it's a printer problem.  I can't print out my pictures of the garden and of the birds.  I spent two hours trying to get it to connect with my new computer...didn't happen.  The frustration is that both are online and my computer can see my printer but my printer is not printing.  Going to work on it again today.

Remember this from last week...

Well, I went back and read the 70's article on crayon and quilting and decided to try a unique block.  Check this out...

I used a fabric marker to make the black lines but I think it's kind of a neat project.  And really inexpensive.  I have already backed it with fabric, batting in between and quilted it.  I think I may use this as a journal cover.

Speaking of journals, I have begun another small one, five by three and a half inches.  There will be six signatures...

And each signature will contain a minimum of three pages.  The first is two decorative pages glued together, the second a card stock page and the third a plain decorative page.  I haven't decided if I will add more or not yet...

I've ordered an elevated feeding station for the cats.  Cookie Monster wants to tip the water bowl over all the time and it's getting a bit tiresome to always find water on the floor.  I've also ordered a kitty litter box with high sides in hopes that more litter will stay in the box.  With four cats, we have decided to set up two places for litter and for food...one upstairs and one downstairs.

Well, now that our plans to go somewhere are off, I guess I will do some cleaning and crafting...what about you...any plans for the day...or were yours also upended by the weather?  At any rate, have a good day...

Talk with you tomorrow...
