Hope on the Horizon...

Acrylic on canvas...

Oh My Gosh...

I'm in the process of renovating my bathroom (we gutted it the day before the storm and have been living with a hole in the floor and the ceiling...nice) and while I can't quite afford this, a girl CAN dream. Stone Bathtub from WS Bath Collections.

And on the 9th day...

there was still no power. Another cold front is moving through and it's now a balmy 23 degrees outside. I sometimes wonder if the rest of these United States has any idea how big of a disaster this is. The only media I have access to is the internet and it sure doesn't seem like Obama has said much. And I definitely haven't seen the likes of Fox News or Keith Olberman running around. Is this on the TV? I'm just curious.

Just in case ya'll didn't know...

West Elm's rugs are all 20% off. I'm eyeing the Alhambra.

Pottery...

Gorgeous pillow...

by Maureen Johnson. The texture is drool-worthy.

And life goes on...

It warmed up in the 50s yesterday. Still without power but able to clean up most of the large debris. Saw this one small bud on the few remaining limbs and had to capture it to remind myself that life does go on.

Eye pleasing...

textile art from Anita Hutchison.

Ceramic and glass...

By Andrea Walsh. I love the combination of these two mediums.

Fences to Mend...

by me. :) The ice has melted and it's ugly. Lots of work to do. Still no power. Thank heaven for generators.

We Can Learn Together...

Breaking Dawn...

A little detour for a few days while we try and get back to normal. Our town is still without power. I am up and running by the grace of a generator. Here is a photo of the view out my window this morning. The weight of the ice has pulled down the limbs, forming a curtain of ice around my deck. The rising sun was peeking through and glowing amongst the crystals.

Out of Power

Hello!
I am a friend of Julie. Julie's town has been hit hard by this ice storm and they have been without power since Tuesday. She is ok, rest assured, but phone access is limited and obviously internet access is not available. She does not know when power will be restored, but please check back periodically, as I will update as best I can.


Thanks!
Jeanmarie
