No Power, No Problem!

Yesterday we had a crazy wind storm. And, shortly after I finished my second last spring cleaning post we lost the power. I had planned on using my new sewing machine all day long, but I obviously could not when there was no power. I spent the day cleaning and reorganizing storage areas, such as our bookshelves, and my craft storage. And then in the late afternoon I decided I would need some water (we are on a well, and without power the water doesn't get pumped into the house), and I drove into town to my in-laws to get a couple jugs of water. I had the candles and camping lanterns ready to go for when I got home.

Luckily we have a gas stove, so with a couple matches I had dinner and dishwater on the go! A pan for grilled cheese, a small pot for pasta, and the large pot to heat some water to clean all the dishes I made during the day. It was much like camping! :)

 

And just as I was about to sit down with my candles and work on some hooked mug rugs, there was a beeeeep. And the power was back. Oh, well I guess it is back to lights and background noise. The quiet throughout the day was a very welcome change. However, once the power came on I managed to get a little sewing in, before making some cookies for a snack!

Did anyone watch the Royal Wedding this morning? I caught the tail-end and then some highlights, very classy. I was impressed! :)

Have a lovely Friday!
