Pics of the wild man during our power outage...notice the battery powered DVD player that had just enough juice to play Franklin and the Green Knight once.
Recent pics of my darling child occupying himself.
Mysterious unknown bird that isn't in the Audobon Society book - the closest we get is some bird that is indigenous to the West coast! And we have them by the dozens here in southern Maine!
The view out my front window of the recent ice storm. It got much much worse. We lost power for 2 days - there are still some people without power including the road in Saco where we used to live and it's been nearly a week! Roughing it sucks, though. You don't realize what you take for granted until it's gone! The bottom pic is how I entertained myself by firelight...knitting socks for my Secret Santa!
What I've been crafting...hand painted origami boxes accented with glitter glue and hand crafted jewelry to go in them! I'm loving making jewelry and would do it more it it weren't so durned expensive!!
What I want for Christmas...
L O V E the knit cloche on the cover of Boutique Knits.
FO!! Socks for my Secret Santa! Also my first time using two different colors. That was an experience! Anyway, they are done and now I'm onto the next Christmas project...the felted mocs for my Dad.
BTW, wild man has been very well behaved of late. Don't know what I'm doing right but it's working!!!
Ciao and happy knitting!

Oooh, pretty decorated boxes & jewelry! Someday I will venture into the world of sock knitting. Waiting for some sock DPNs and a few more brain cells to tackle it.
ReplyDeleteWe notice how much we rely on electricity when there is a power outage. Good thing the DVD player battery wasn't completely drained.
DD (3.5 yrs) experienced her first power outage in the dark this past weekend (there was still daylight in the previous outages) and totally freaked out!
