I'm glad it's raining....seems like we're due for a day that forces us to just sit still. Our Sundays aren't spent with activities, but still, listening to the rain hit the windows is a recipe for a quiet day and I think we're way overdue. Plus, the fact that I have some good books to read definitely helps.
Having such issues with my faith, and finding that it's a bit shaky. Plus there seems to be a direct correlation between my ability to deal with stress/life when I'm rested. Anyone else out there get a maximum of 5 hours of sleep/night? Let me see your hands. ;)
And hopefully I can putsy around with this felt food frenzy I've found myself in the thick of. Such cute stuff, and with the selection of felt I bought the other day, hoping I can make some cookies today. I'm thinking chocolate chip. The frosted donut I finished the other night is cute, though I'd tweak the dimensions next time and make them more chunky. Have looked at online photos of other felt food and the most successful designs are fat and poofy. I'm thinking the donuts should look more bagel-shaped and not too skinny.
Anyway. With church under my belt from last night, the day stretches ahead of me in all it's quiet glory. Will leave you with the titles of the books I'm reading: At Mrs. Lippincote's by Elizabeth Taylor and The School of Essential Ingredients by Erica Bauermeister.
I've found that E. Taylor's books, while they don't seem to have any swearing, do have certain characters taking the Lord's name in vain. Not much, but enough. Just a warning. I find that surprising, too, considering the publishing dates (for the one I'm reading it's in the 1940's). Don't usually find that casual use of wording in many books written at that time.
And definitely enjoying the book by Erica Bauermeister. Very soothing, and with the constant cooking in her book, I know that fixing dinner will take on a wonderful glow.
Enjoy your day!
