Gloomy day outside, calm and comfy inside.

8 Jun

It’s a dreary day in Michigan, at least, my little slice of it. It got to storming pretty nicely and I enjoyed the thunder and lighting before it quickly passed on. I think rainy days are kind of cleansing and good for quiet contemplation. Or running around dancing in it, but too cold yet for that. ;) The sky opens up and rains life, got to appreciate that. Comfy sweater and a cup of Earl Gray or chamomile or whatever and ta-da, perfect rainy day mood.

I’ve been busying myself with inside things. My brother sent me home with some bottle caps last night so I could work out a project that I sketched ideas and plans for today. I’ve never done anything like it, but I do like learning new things and challenges. I think it will turn out and I have a steady supply of practice bottle caps. Thanks Bro! :D I dug out my paint brushes from under the cabinet and conditioned them, set up my canvas and can’t wait to get the paints out, but not today. I am finishing a duct tape purse for an order. It’s turning out really well! I’m excited to finish it and get it to my customer. Then two more purses and my orders will be filled! Hooray! I love collaging all the pictures and magazine scraps between clear duct tape to make the “fabric” of it. I hope to post a picture when I’m done.

Well, I’m thinking about making a warm treat for such a gloomy day. I like to cut up a pear and an apple, sprinkly on a touch of lemon juice and some cinnamon. I just put a tiny bit of oil on the pan so nothing sticks. I whack it in the toaster oven at 350 degrees F until everything is tender and the juices from the fruit are caramalizing. Do you know what really seals the deal, though? Get ready, it’s going to blow your mind. A sprinkling of sharp cheddar cheese. MMmmMmMmmmm. It gets all melty and yummy. It’s perfect comfort food. It sounds funny, but give it a go. Sweet and just a little bit of salt with a bite to it. My dad love love loooovveess it.

    Hey I saw you were on my blog of duct tape purses! I’m happy to find a fellow duct taper! I’d love to see what your purses look like! I started a week ago making duct tape flowers last week because the hardware store that my family own sells duct tape and somehow it all turned into purse making! So I’d love to see pics of your purses too!

    Ps. I love in Michigan also! How funny!
