I’m so sorry for being MIA these last few what? 10 days? Oh, no! Two weeks! We got hit by Sandy and lost power. The house is fine and we had no flooding. We’re up high enough that I always say that if WE get flooding, it’s armageddon everywhere else around here… We were out for 10 days. And it got cold. And entertaining the two mouselings was hard work. Just living was hard work. I can’t imagine what it’s like for those who are still in shelters… We got power back last Thursday and I’ve been running around getting the house back in order: laundry that I got much appreciated help with (I love you Sheila!), emptying out the fridge (Mr. Mouse did that), cleaning the fridge (I did that) and filling it up again (I did that).
I didn’t get to do anything creative at all while we were without power. The mouselings demanded too much of me and then night would fall. No knitting or crochet, hardly any sewing (I did cut out some material for projects), no drawing, no photography. Nothing. I’m sort of having a hard time getting started back up. Next week, most likely. I did take a bunch of pictures before Sandy. Seems so very long ago… I’ve uploaded them just now and need to go through them and edit. I tried to do some interesting things. I wish mouseling Emmanuelle had worn something more coordinated with the scenery but I wasn’t thinking of that that day. I just decided to take some photos while sitting there waiting for customers (we held a tag sale with some neighbors on that Saturday before Sandy). I will try to get another post up in the next few days to show you what I did…
I love reading your comments! I will try to respond to every single one.
