I was going to work out in the gardens today, but a steady rain is falling. (Yipee -- I don't need to water!) Because it's raining, I thought about going to school to get ready for summer school, but the dreary day makes me want to stay in and sip tea and get into a good book. When I started looking for a good book, I came across a quilting magazine and found a pretty quilt. I thought about beginning to cut out the pieces for the quilt because yesterday I found this...

| A quilt frame found at my local thrift store. I'm so excited!! |
... but then I saw a magazine picture of a painted pillow. I made this yesterday ...
 |
| First try at painting on fabric. Needs a lot of work! :) |
... and thought perhaps this would do fine for a porch rocker pillow?? My thinking on these early days of summer remind me of the book, "If you give a mouse a cookie"! I seem to go from one thing to the next never quite settling into something. Each year at the beginning of summer break from school I realize how ordered my life is around a schedule. It happens every summer, and this summer is no different -- by about Friday morning, I'll be relaxing, not worrying about a lack of schedule and then -- Monday morning -- SUMMER SCHOOL begins! :)
