Still alive and well after the storm

Ok to begin with we had a HUGE wind storm here. Well being as we are rural we figured we would loose power. Little did we know for how long. I cannot believe I did not take one single picture of the mess. Well actually I was too busy just getting by with no power. See being rural means when there is no power there is no power to pump water out here. So no toilets work, no drinking water and no shower.
We did survive with a little help from our neighbors. We are the only family on this road that did not have a generator running. Well that will change we are going to invest in one before the year is out.
Don did hook up a light for me to craft with in the dark. Well it was hard to see but I did get some dolls put together. We have the huge show coming up and vacation so we needed to work.
Well let me show you what I worked on today. It has been a very productive day. Oh yes we do have our power back but so many do not.
Here are some primitive angel light boxes Don had ready for me to put the finishing touches to. Actually this morning they were just boxes tonight yu see what they are when finished






Then I worked on some santa wall hangers and got them finished. I really like them. I would like to have one of them for myself.

I finished the primitive snowman wall hangers too however I did not take a picture of them yet. I just came in from finishing them.


Now I have finished 6 little witches. I just think they are so cute. some have orange hair, some green, and some purple.



Last look at all the doll babies laying here waiting for me to put the finishing touches on.


Ok I took a picture of some of the items ready to pack up and take to PIGEON FORGE TENNESSEE. REMEMBER THE THIRD WEEK OF OCTOBER IN PATRIOT PARK. THE PARK BEHIND THE OLD MILL RESTURANT(YUMMY PLACE TO EAT) AND ACROSS THE STREET FROM PIGEON FORGE POTTERY.



Now keep checking back with me and I will try to keep you updated with the crafts as they are being made.
