I love a rainy day ...

...and we are certainly having our fair share of those at the moment.  A good opportunity to do a catch-up post...

I've made a start on the baby quilt for my new grandson.  I think Marnie gave me the quilt top years ago, so I'm happy to have an opportunity to use it :)  I bought some tartan flannelette, and was just going to quilt the two layers together, but then decided to use some thin polar fleece in the middle to make is a bit more padded... 


Pinned the three layers together...

And I have started hand quilting it (although you can't really see the quilt stitches in the photo)...
I haven't done any hand quilting for years.  It makes a nice change from the knitting and crocheting :)

I finished the fourth book in this series and really enjoyed them...

Now I'm reading this...


We are off daylight-saving time now, so our evenings are darker earlier.  When I finish my dinner and dishes, I've been continuing to work on my Fistula blanket squares, while watching episodes of the Waltons before bed.
Have you watched this series? 


I only have Season 1, but am enjoying it again :)

Still on track with my 'one chapter a day from the New Testament' Bible reading.  Today it's Acts Chapter 13.

This past week I listened to an interesting audio (although there is also an option to watch on YouTube) from Anabaptist Perspectives. It goes for just under an hour. 
So, take a break, make yourself a cup of tea or coffee, and have a listen. 
 

Enjoy

    Thank you for your lovely blog and the beautiful photos.

    I enjoy rainy days too—mainly because there are fewer pollen in the air, which makes it easier for me to go outside. So I actually look forward to a fresh rain shower, followed by a walk in the woods.

    I really enjoyed reading about the baby quilt you’re making for your new grandson—such a special and meaningful project. And how nice that you’ve started a new book as well. I sometimes enjoy rereading a book I’ve read before, and then suddenly realize I’m seeing it in a completely different way than I did years ago. Do you ever experience that?

    Thanks again for sharing your new blog. It’s lovely to follow along. I noticed you’re in Acts 13—I just started Acts 1 today. Just five verses a day, looking a bit more closely—not too deep, but just a little more intentional.

    Warm greetings from the Netherlands.

      Greetings Aritha,
      The cooler weather is better for my headaches too. A shower of rain really refreshes the air, and nature always looks so much 'brighter' when walking in it after the rain.
      I'm glad you are enjoying my blog. The quilt is coming along slowly. I'd better get a move on, or the baby will be here before it's finished!
      I know what you mean about rereading a book. It's the same with reading the Bible. We can read the same verses many times, but each time we see something new in them!
      Enjoy your walks, and your Bible reading :) xx

      I'm glad you enjoyed the audio Sandra!
      There are a lot of good audios on that website. I hope to listen to another one this (Sunday) afternoon.
      I am doing well. No headaches for a few days, and I was able to make it to church this morning :)
      I hope your days are going well too!
      Sending love .... xx
