Rainy day weekends


Been getting a lot of rain lately; no doubt you've seen the terrific flood pics from last week by Nathalie (Central Coast) and Julia (Newcastle) on their blogs. Instead of looking out my front window, which on 1 June, Theme Day, presented a sunny view to the world, when I'm not on the computer, I like to retreat to the back of the house, curl up on the squishy sofa, read a book, watch the rain fall outside, and ponder the clothes drying. Every so often I stir to put another load of washing in the dryer, but the woollens demand more respect!

Happy weekend to all!

  2. I love the look of the room with those wonderful windows. I wouldn't mind curling up there either, and the clothes add a bit of domesticity to the scene.

  3. PS I saw the greeting card you designed, inspired by the New Orleans lamp photo. Loved it! What is the address for the blog? I'd love to see more of your art work.

  9. Sofas are the best. My grandma had a feather one that was so soft you couldn't even sleep in it because it folded around you until you couldn't breath. Oh, i miss it.

  11. Everyone - you are most welcome!

    M Benaut: ha ha ha! I chose THIS photo cos it doesn't show the stuff on the floor (my son's stuff!) if front of the sofa, or the mess in the kitchen (to the left!)

    Fabrizio: thanks - the coloured panels are repeated at the top as well.

    kate: I replied to you on your blog

  15. I love the hardwood floors! They are so beautiful!!

    Do you polish them often? I have hardwood floors but they aren't as beautiful as yours. Granted I only "swifter" it once a week or so.
