A Snow Imposed Break

We had snow! Sleet! Rain! Power outages, and cable/internet outages last week.  Yuck!  Luckily the power only was out for short, sporadic times. But the cable was out from Thursday until Saturday night.  I snapped this Photo on Thursday eve right before everything went out.




It had just started to rain.  If you can see the big fir branches covered in snow back there~? They are no longer there, the heavy ice broke them off. :-(   The tree is still there, but she is missing a lot of 'arms'.  We had a lot of tree damage.  :-(  But along with everyone in our neighborhood, the tree damage did not harm any buildings. :-)

You are probably thinking I sewed like 'crazy' while I was stuck in~ you would be wrong! With the power blinking in and out, I didn't want to take any chance of harming my sewing machine. I did stitch a bit~



I finished this cute pillow. I love it! :-)  I won the pattern and wool from a giveaway Anna at the Woolie Mammoth had. (Thank you Anna!!)  The pattern is from Bunny Hill. I was so intimidated to cut into that kit! I have done very little with wool  except collect it and drool over every one else's work~~ oh boy! Now I am hooked! :-) I am working on an embroidery project, but have a bunch of woolie projects in my future! Anna you created a woolie monster! LOL

I hope Mother Nature has been kind to all of you~
I need to get back to my machine now.

Until next time~
Happy stitchin'!!

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
