In case you haven't had the radio, television or computer on in the last couple of days, the mid-Atlantic and New England are preparing for what has been dubbed "Frankenstorm". If it does what they think it will, three storms merging into one megastorm, it is going to be a rough ride. It looks like the worst of it is going to go just north of here, but with a storm as big as the one predicted, we will be impacted. Everything that we can do to prepare has been done - bathtub is full of water, bottled water ready, laundry done
can you tell I freak at the thought of not having water - it is one of the negatives of living in the country, we are on a well and when the power goes out we don't have water, everything that needs a charge to operate is plugged in and I have enough cross stitch pieces on large count that I will be able to stitch, if not by candle
okay battery-powered lantern but *that* does not sound like roughing it at least by whatever daylight we may have. There's also enough food that doesn't require refrigeration or cooking to keep us going for a few days.
Is it just me or has there been a rash of comments from Anonymous on every one's blog? I must get five or six a day. I really do not want to go to comment moderation but I may have to.
I was finally able to watch this season's
Wallander last weekend. As much as I enjoy them, I do have to be in the right mood. While
watching listening I was able to stitch on a couple of projects:
First is The Nutmeg Company's
Parma Violets gingerbread house. It is stitched on 22-count white Aida with DMC
no beads yet. This is one wall of the cottage
the needle is to give some perspective on the size. No before photo as I stitched the roof last go-round.
And this is Chatelaine's
Hawaiian Garden Mandala:
Before:
And after
hmmmm given how little I got stitched, I guess I was watching more than I thought:

take care and happy stitching by candle light :) love mouse xxxxx
I hope you'll be safe from the storm - you certainly seem to have prepared for it wisely. Your stitching is lovely.
Lovely stitching!
I hope all will be well with the storm and that you don't have any damage. My mom is here visiting from Delaware and is freaking out, convinced that she will come back to her house and find it full of trees, animals, birds, and rain water. Oy.

Love your Chatelaine and the start of the little cottage. Is it going to be 3D?
How did you fare the storm? I live in the country too and am on a well so I know where you're coming from 100% We do have a generator because we often need to run our sump pump.
Hawaiian Mandala is stunning!!!!!
