How I Spend Some Rainy Days

Hello friends and fellow bloggers,

How is the weather in your world today?

Weather here has mostly been like in the first photo below. Alternatively it's been raining and a bit cold. But we've had a few warmer days and in the next few days the forecast is for considerably warmer weather. We'll see if that comes to pass.


I've been quite busy but when I am at home I've been keeping busy crocheting these two sets of dishcloths. I made them for gifts for 2 different friends.  One can always use a dishcloth because they need to be replaced every 6 months or so though I know some people use them for much longer.



I've also picked up the pace with my reading once again.  But I feel I want to make more time for doing new crafts.  I have several projects around the home in order to get ready for summer guests so I'm not sure I'll be able to work in new crafts until the Fall and Winter though I'd dearly love to do so.

In the meantime, I read more books, make more dishcloths or do more cooking and baking when I want to do something creative but don't quite have the time to do something 'new'. I have some plans for new hobbies, or old hobbies that need to be picked up again. At some point I'll feature them in this space.



I'm still working on reading the books in the first photo above. I completed The Family Upstairs, the first book in a series.  I found it well written and it kept me guessing until the very end.  I recommend it if you like mystery thrillers.  

I also really liked Pamela Anderson's collection of recipes.  There are a number I'd like to try but there is now a long waiting list for this book at the library so we'll see if I get a chance.

What about you? Are you working on any crafts or projects or are you already into summer relaxation? I'd love to hear in the comments section below.

Thanks for stopping by!

  1. Hi Penny,
    ...It had been quite hot and humid here...but luckily we've got a nice weekend ahead with lower temps and humidity...so hopefully we'll head to the botanical gardens or something like that while it's nice out...when it's so hot it might as well be raining because you really don't want to be outside...haha...
    ~Have a lovely day!

    1. It seems we are so constrained by the weather wherever we may live. I hope you get to enjoy the botanical gardens this weekend.

  2. Our weather has been absolutely grim. Unseasonably cold, windy, (very, as you saw from my tornado post!) and gloomy. They say it will be better for Memorial day. I hope so. Meanwhile, I've been reading and painting. It wouldn't kill me to clean the house but that is much more fun!

    1. Yes it seems your weather has not been good at all. I hope it improves and settles down a bit. You do some lovely painting 🖌️🎨.
