Radiant Star Part 6: 8 blocks down

3641760300 f1ae6727cd o Radiant Star Part 6:  8 blocks down

The only place I’m making progress this week is in my sewing room.  Quilting?  not going well.  Sockmaking?  ditto.  House?  A mess.  E-mail?  Behind. Packages mailed?  Ha.

But at least I’ve gotten some stars made.  8 blocks done = 40%!  256 of the little blue and white half-square triangle units!

TTFN-

Suzanne

p.s.  Please ignore the gross stain on my shop carpet.  Yuck.

2 inches plus 20 minutes = bad news

We are getting a leetle bit tired of gully-washers.

Yesterday:  we got approximately 2 inches of rain in 20 minutes.

Out the back door:  Ugh.

See that dark rectangle at the bottom left corner of the window?  That’s the drain outside my backdoor.  The water was backed up, and it was probably a good 6 inches deep back there.

Needless to say:  water was coming in under my back door.  Nothing of value got wet, nor was anything of value in danger of getting wet, but it was surely a mess.

Last night when I left, (knowing more gully washers were possible over night…) I stuffed towels up against the door on the inside, and sandbags on the outside.  The towels were damp this morning, and I’m glad I had them there.

I like rain, but this kind of stuff is ridiculous.
