so we decided to ride out the storm- our first hurricane ever- instead of evacuating. we talked to several people and decided since it was a category 1 that it wouldn't be THAT bad....ummm yeah. it was quite the experience!!! i imagine i could equate it to a southerner moving up north and experiencing their first snow storm. kind of???
i tried to keep busy with tasks that required sitting still with no electricity during the storm- reading, embroidery and sleeping. i got a few things made and after all craft is the point of this blog so i will focus on that and not the hurricane!! i have quite a few embroidery wall pieces made so these stitchings will most likely be made into a pillow or a collage. or maybe i'll put some on a bag. here they are in their "ready for the next step" stage...

a few other things that kept me sane are: my $10 battery powered radio from amazon, my book, and my leftover fan from white linen night. i have no idea why i even saved this fan but am glad i did!! it worked much better than a magazine. one thing i happily learned is that instant coffee has made some major improvements from the last time i tried it (maybe 10 years ago, probably more). it was delish. even with the fake creamer!!
