Rainy Day Creativity


Rainy days happen!
Could they be opportunities to become creative?
Yes!
There are so many things I actually like to do which keep me inside
and
when the weather is simply gorgeous I don't really want to do them
So...
let's bake some bread
make a vegetable casserole
and get out that crochet hook and colourful cotton!

Who cares if it rains sometimes?
With an umbrella and good shoes
we can even manage a walk or two!

Why am I making photo montages
which is not my usual style?
Well, it feels playful and is fun to do
and most of all, these montages tell a story in pictures.

It's nice to change our style and point of view sometimes
It's refreshing and allows us to see our lives anew.
After all, who wants to fall into a rut?

Come rain or shine,
perhaps you'd like to join me in the summer fun?
Let's play
and enjoy
whatever this day brings!

  3. Love this mosaic, Sandra!
    I don't mind rainy days at all, or even snowy ones for that matter.
    Sometimes it's good to be "forced" to be inside. I always find so much to do on those days, and I always enjoy doing it.

    Happy day to you!

  5. Aha, it's been raining almost non-stop here for days so yes, I've been playing too and enjoying crafty subjects almost non-stop: what fun! Your mosaic is lovely Sandra and as you say, tells its own story, but I do so enjoy your accompanying words, thank you. xoJoy

  6. Love your collage and your attitude! Baking and making bread are particular fun for me when staying indoors. Cooking too. I wish I could crochet but alas...

  7. I love seeing this glimpse of your rainy day! I am more likely to settle down on the sofa and read all day! The bread and veggies, the coasters all make a lovely story! Thanks for sharing with your wonderful words.

  9. You are so right about the rainy days - sometimes I hope for a rainy Sunday so I will have an excuse to stay inside and craft! Cooking and baking bread are such comforting activities, and the results are supremely satisfying.

    That blue umbrella really makes your blue eyes pop. In a good way. :)

  14. You sound positively joyful about the rain. And, instead of complaining you "make" things that are colourful and nourishing.

  15. What a fun post! Your montage is so colorful and happy! Well, I'm a bit jealous because we never have rainy days in the summer. However, I can be playful -- the summer seems to demand it.

  16. Well, I'm currently enjoying rain and it did walk out it in, although only by necessity, because of the school run, but still, it's not so bad. Lovely to see you featured in the montage too, a nice change of pace as it's always nice to mix things up a bit!

  18. You had a great dinner that rainy night! When it rains I have the excuse (not that I need one) to sit for hours and read.

  23. What a cute and fun little post Sandra, love seeing you in the collage. I love rainy days and maybe it is because I don't see enough of it here in the desert. Can you send me some rain?
