RAINY FRIDAY IN CHANIA
February 10, 2012 by Teje
Hello my Dear Friends! Here we are spending this Friday again mostly at home, because it’s rainy, rainy, rainy and rainy! I feel that these last days we have had all for seasons and sometimes in one day!
Weather has been mostly rainy but some days it was changing every half an hour … from lovely sunny moment to …
… storm, rain and unbelievable strong wind. One day the wind was so strong that many trees were falling down not to mention all the smaller things like tables and chairs ‘flying’ around! Sea looked amazingly beautiful – full of ‘white sheeps’ and white dusty going with the wind!
Our little village. Those mountains you see are the lowest and behind in the clouds are the snowy ‘White Mountains’. Our house is on the far left.
Then again some beautiful springly moments …
There is already some flowers giving us hope, while waiting the spring! And so much green grass every where!
Sunny view from our super-market’s parking place!
These creatures had fun playing, before they were hidden again in the old fabric from the rain. For many sweet creatures this cold, rainy season makes life difficult …
… yesterday on my way home, I met these beautiful friends. They were sleeping under the tree. It was soft and ‘cosy’ corner … but it was windy and raining! Fortunately I had crackers with me to give. They didn’t take them from me, even the smaller let me pet her. But after I left they took the crackers.
The beach of Kalathas is on the left side and behind these trees is one taverna. Where you see now water (behind the dogs) is normally a parking place! In the winter the rough sea brings the water far a way from the beach because that place is a little bit lower!
So I guess it’s going to be enjoyable weekend in the sewing attic, because they say that this weather is going to continue … who knows how long. Finally I am thinking to catch the pink quilt top with the wadding and the backing. And then the fun part begins … quilting!
I would like you to meet my sweet friend MAUREEN! Her BLOG is so wonderful and full of her beautiful crafts and designs! She has today give away for lovely fabrics, so why not to go to say hello to her!
With Nero we like to wish you wonderful weekend! If you can’t enjoy sunshine outside, take some sunny colours – fabrics, yarns, paints – and make your own sunshine!
Thank you so much for your visits and sweet messages you have wrote to us!
Hugs and kisses! TEJE & NERO

You live in such a beautiful place. Thanks for showing us. I love your quilt, the design and colors are perfect.
Hi!! Beautiful pictures!! I can`t belive the rainy weather!?:-) I was always afraid of the stray dogs in Athens…. But I feed the cats:-) Have a nice weekend!! AnneK:-)
Lovely quilt! That striped sashing really makes the blocks pop. Love seeing all the wonderful creatures in your neighborhood. They sure do bring a smile to me face. Those yellow flowers are a wonderful sign of spring hope!
What a beautiful place you live, rainy or not! Your quilt is equally beautiful! Enjoy a great weekend and try to stay dry!
I’m sorry it’s so cold and wet!! My friend who lives in Sitia is here in Southern California waiting out the cold! Your photos and your bright, happy quilt are lovely.
Your quilt is beautiful. I love that even the stormy day photos are so bright. We are getting snow here right now so your yellow flowers are beautiful to see.
Lovely quilt, and I love the striped fabric you have used. What can we do about the weater, not much I’m afraid. Before you know it is spring and summer!
it’s so beautiful there teje, i hope your staying warm and dry! it was so sweet of you to give bisquits to those lovely dogs. and i love your quilt, it looks like you are making your own sunshine!
We had snow again on Thursday night, but haven’t had rain for a long time. I now have a week from school, yippee. I hope to get lots of sewing done, but I have other jobs that I should have been doing in the last 5 weeks but have put off until now!
Hope you are having a nice weekend. It is so cold here and last night we got snow so training was cancelled and we are cuddled up at home today. It sure is pretty were you live. I feel sorry for the dogs and cats with no home. I am sure the bad weather is hard on them.
Good morning Teje! It seems that Saturdays are better weather days than Fridays! At least it will give you a reason to finish your lovely pink quilt ….. not that I think you need any excuse to enjoy your quilting :0)
My blog at Bella Bag is closing down soon, so please would you add our new Blogland address

Have a lovely “whatever the weather week”

You really live at such a beautiful island. Those dogs, are they living on the streets? That’s something which we don’t know in our country.
I hope you had a great weekend with lots of sewing.
groetjes, Dorien
Thank you Dorien! Unfortunately here are lots of homeless dogs and cats. I’m not sure about these, but I think they don’t have home. It has been difficult for me to get used to this because also in Finland you don’t see any dog or cat out alone.
Wishes! Teje
