Anyone who hasn't heard, Hurricane Sandy swept across NJ on October 30th and destroyed almost everything in it's path. It left a lot of people with out power, myself included, who was without power for 10 days. One way I prepared myself for this hurricane was to go grocery shopping three days before. While I was there I saw these cute little pumpkins and realized that it was almost halloween and I totally forgot about getting a pumpkin! I picked one up with intents that I would paint it if the power went out. Well our power did go out and within moments I lit a bunch of candles and painted this by candle light. I had so much fun! Since the power was out, there was nothing to distract me, like tv or internet, or my cell phone, so I was really able to enjoy it. If I realized that I was going to be without power for so long I would have picked up a few more, but instead I spent the rest of my 10 days knitting and trying not to be grumpy. I will be posting some of my knitting projects once I stop being lazy.
