Without power again!

This is going to be a quick post, no pictures, just to let you know I'm alive, but we have been part of the very large  population which had our power cut off to hopefully prevent fires.  We had the power cut off about 4 days earlier in October.

And then they did it again on Saturday.  

Really hard to get much sewing done without electricity.  My treadle machine is at the cabin!   I did manage to prep a bunch of things which I intend to work on in the next days.

My dh and I decided this weekend that we were going to flee California and head up to the cabin in Oregon for the week.  So I'm on my way (he drove;  I'm flying today since I babysat overnight last night)

My October mini is ready for completion!  Just need to get to my machine.

Earlier this month, we took a trip to France spending a few days in Paris (I did get to spend an afternoon with my dear friend Will...more on that to follow) and then we went to the burgundy area of France where we relaxed for a week, tasting some wine, hiking, touring castles and churches.  We had a great trip.

So I'm hoping tomorrow to be able to get some sewing done!

Happy Fall!

  1. Hope those fires will be under control soon so your power can be returned. Enjoy your time away. We'll just have to wait to hear about your trip.

  2. So difficult to be without power for those extended periods of time. Hope you have a safe trip and can enjoy your time at the cabin with power.
    Looking forward to seeing your mini and hearing more about your trip.

  10. The stories about the fires are so terrifying, and I can't even imagine being without power that for so long. I go stir crazy when it's out for a couple hours. I hope you stay safe and get that mini done!
