Without Power is Possible

Were you one of those children who thought a power outage was a great adventure?

I was!

I loved it when the electricity would blink off and mom would pull down the candles and lamps from the high kitchen shelf.

It was exciting to pretend that we were living life like the folks of the olden days!

Because of those found memories I, even now, don't mind when the power goes down.

It's amazing really how so much of our daily life activities require electricity. It is a convenience that we take for granted every day.

Microwave

Fridge
Dishwasher
Washer/Dryer
On and on......

Today our area had a planned power outage due to a pole replacement.

It was a lot of fun making due without electricity for several hours!

Time in the Word was sweet! The desk under the window was a cheery spot! I could not type notes into my "Devotional" Word Doc. but a notebook did the job just as well! 

A Letter!!! J and I communicate a lot via my e-mail. Learn how we do it HERE. Since E-mail was inaccessible I took the opportunity to sit down and write him a good old fashioned letter! It's practically a lost art today...

SEWING!!!  Without a machine!! 

I've been working with hexagons! I could still work on this project with the power down because these hexagon flower are simply whip-stitched together! 

I didn't even need an iron because of a handy-dandy little sewing help that my Aunt V gave me! 

FABRIC GLUE!! These make hand sewing hexagons so much more happy! You simply apply some glue to the edge of your hexie template and fold the fabric over! TUDDA!!! 

You can even make butterflies out of hexagons! 

With or without electricity, I hope you all had a wonderful day!
