When it Rains it Pours.....

It's been raining on and off here in Michigan for about a week.  Our basement flooded, but that's all taken care of.
Thursday, however, we woke to no heat.  What now?!!!
In fact, there was no  electricity in "half" of the house.  What?  

After three visits from the electric company, we are now up and running  and this was all due to our neighbors putting up a fence this summer, nicked the electric line (underground) and with all the rain and standing water, it finally shorted out.  I am almost afraid to ask....."What next?".

Anyways, today the new batt was delivered from Quilts Complete.  It's my Quilter's Dream Select in ivory and white.  This will be for my customer quilts.  


I've been knitting in the meantime waiting for a dry basement and "lights".

Here's the second pair of socks I am working on. 


Time to set this aside for the time being.  I have quilting to do.  

You'll find me downstairs at the long arm.

  1. Living out in the country, I can sympathize - you never know when something quirky is going to happen. We lost our telephone service because a mouse had built its nest inside the junction box down the road and mealtimes were chewing on the wires. Liking the yarn you are using for the socks! Hope your weekend goes smoothly - happy stitching.

  2. Glad your big package made it to you....and I hope you are done with home-related b.s. for a good long time!

  3. That's bizarre. It's pretty amazing that they figured out how that happened. Hope this is it for a while!
