"Rain Walker"

It's not unusual to find me, 

out in the drizzling rain...





with my sweat pants tucked into my rain boots...




camera in hand.




I'm sure the neighbors are thinking...





"now what's she taking a picture of?"



Hence,  the nickname given to me by my 

dear friend and neighbor,  Priscilla. 



"Rain Walker..." 

So, 

if you live around here, don't be surprised if you see me taking photos, and 

walking in the rain. 


:-)



Happy Friday everyone! 

Have a wonderful weekend! 


Becca

Our kids live in Phoenix and they run outside when it rains there too! Used to live in Phx, so I know the feeling of living the rain. Xox

Sweatpants and rainboots are the perfect combination for being outside this time of year.
I saw in an earlier post you were looking for wooden crates. Have you been out to Country Village yet? Lots of cute vintage/antique shops. Also M & M in Monroe and another great one in Duvall (can't think of the name) that has lots of fun stuff to dig through - and great prices too!

Hi Rainwalker! :) We had lunch with a young Indian couple yesterday and I had my camera out snapping away. My husband just told them that I take pictures of everything all the time. Ha! Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Tammy

I love the sound of that "Rainwalker". Fits you perfectly. I also love the wooden fence. Like you had said in a past post it's so much prettier than a brick wall. LOVE you photos my sweet friend..

Hugs~

Giggles! What are you out in the rain taking pictures of? Why the fence - it's smiling at you! Luckily, my neighbor is my MIL and it's too late to pretend to be anything near normal. They see me outside in all sorts of curious weather - sometimes in my nightie - laying down on the wet grass to get a pic of a violet and all sorts of silly things! You too....??? ;)

Watercolor on Tea Bags

Image
Hello Friends!  Hope you are enjoying your weekend, especially  if this is a long weekend for you!  It seems like I've been drinking a lot of tea lately, so I  thought it was time to get out my tea bags  and get creative!  This is a mixed-media piece on watercolor paper. First, I tore pieces of the tea bags and glued them to the  watercolor paper to start my background. This is another piece I started just today where I decided to use a rubber stamp before applying the tea bags for added interest.  I love the color and texture the tea bags create.  After the background was dry, I started to sketch out my design.   The dragonfly is a rubber stamp. Finally, a little simple hand stitching on linen for added texture. The light was so beautiful and inviting on my desk today. Oh, and don't you just love my new pencil box I got at the...

The Art of A Rain Chain

Image
"Art"   is probably not the first word that comes to mind for most people when it rains.  If you have ever seen a  Rain Chain   then maybe you'll understand why I think of it this way.  copper, metal, patina, design, texture, beauty... peaceful,  mesmerizing... If you've read my blog for some time, you might remember, this "desert girl" is fascinated with  rain chains. :-) I'm still traveling...Seattle...it's raining... I'm sharing my Rain Chain Art this week at Lisa Gordon's  Creative Exchange I have been reading and enjoying your comments. When I'm back home, I will have more time to visit and get caught up with you.  Hope your week is off to a great start!  Becca

It's a Crochet Thing….

Image
Hi friends!   Well, I said I'd be back with some crochet stuff I've been working on,  I just didn't think it would take me so long.  So, I found this cute coaster pattern on line that uses "jute"  and yarn. They were easy to make, and the yarn adds so much to them,  don't you think?   Look at the back, I think even the back looks interesting!  Click  HERE  for the link if you want to make these.  I've been working on this afghan for a while now.  I love it because the squares have been pretty  easy to make even while watching TV.  The colors remind me of the blue hydrangeas I love so much!  Finally, I've been going nuts about adding crocheted edgings on things.  I made a couple of tea towels for gifts, and I'm still  working on more of these.  Don't you just love ticking fabric?  Well, there ya ha...
