Well, it's been one heck of a week. Hurricane Irene caused quite a scare and a few problems at the Lewis residence. A tree blew down and took out the transformer on our street. It sent some sort of electric spike into our house and we lost power for awhile and a few key items. One of which being my wonderful and faithful Brother sewing machine. Oh the tears... :(
I know it could be worse, but gosh I loved that machine. I will need to purchase a new one soon so that I can get back to what I love. I can still cross stitch, but there won't be any finishing going on.
* * * * *
On a happier note, I've got a picture of the pinkeeps I did finish before Irene fried my sewing machine.
I love how these came out and it has put a smile on my face today to see them all together in my big wooden dough bowl. I hope to be listing these this month on TDIPT.

I hope that all of you came through the storm ok. I know that many areas had lots of flooding. It was quite an ordeal for all in the path of Irene.

Nan, they look fabulous! I love them!
So lovely! *.*
Love the finishes!...we lost power for 24 hours and had to discard many of the refrigerated items...also lost a tree in the backyard...but feel very fortunate as many are still without electricity an entire week later!...we too had a power spike, from a previous outage, and it fried a main component in our stove which had to be replaced...so sorry about your sewing machine!

Oh what a terrible event that hurricane Irene ( the name means peace!!!) but it did not bring peace at all. I can imagine that it's a terrible loss that sewing machine. You are used to it. Of course there could be worse but it is a pity. Nevertheless your pincushions are beauties.
