makings for a cozy quilt

Today has been an interesting day.  The area has had more rain in a morning then ever recorded for a day.  There are areas that got they monthly rainfall per hour over an eight hour period.  People are complaining about the flooding but it is better then it has been in the past with less water.  There is still damage.  People lost homes.  Lost cars.  People died.  There were rescues.  But we did get through.

I walked to work and home.  I decided that I would take less risk on foot then on my bicycle.  I waited until the lightening lessened to start.  It was not a bad walk and I got to work damp.  Work was not closed but there were very few people who were able to get in.  The rain stopped by the time I started home but I still used my umbrella because I had forgotten my sunglasses.  People were out watching the water rushing through the bayous on my path home.  I just wanted to be home.

Home was about a comforting soup and tea.  Sometimes cozy is needed.  The Tall Short Person asked for a cozy quilt recently.  So while we were out watching very fast motorbikes, I stopped a different fabric shop in a different town which means different buyers.  I have always found the buyers for this shop much edgier which is going make a fun cozy quilt for her.  I know I bought too much but that is how it goes.  It was all her favorite colours!

The yarn is what I spun on the hill watching fast motorbikes.  I had to document it, did I not?

Possibility of three more inches of rain tonight and tomorrow.  It will be mostly okay.
