rainy saturday

It has been a rainy day.  Actually, it has been a rainy week.  So rainy that if I go to work in my garden I will be stuck in the mud to my knees.  This has happened in the past so I know I am not exaggerating. 

I thought I might get a chance to build a bed today.  New mattress have been ordered which probably should have been done years ago.  I would like to be off the floor and a bed would actually help.  But the desert walnut we have is not quite long enough and the hardwood wood store closes much too early on a Saturday so I am a bit stuck on that project.

I have been working on a sweater instead.  Part of the reason I was to late to get to the wood store was that the sweater has grabbed me.  The feel of it.  The colors of it.  And I want to wear it today.  But there is two issues with that.  I am spinning all the yarn for the sweater, which makes the process longer.  And to wear it today, it would have to be finished!  Not a work in progress. 

I am hoping it will be done for my gallivanting in May.  I am definitely going to the Oregon coast.  Maybe the mountain.  Having a new sweater would be lovely.  My thought now is that I will put a movie or an audible book on, makes some tea, and work on my sweater while I wait for my garden to dry.  If I get to restless, I will walk over to a store and buy clothesline and nylon thread to make baskets that I can hold spinning and crocheting in.  They are definitely a in thing to make but I can see such uses!
