Crochet by Candle Light

Wednesday 02.04.08, was a day of 120 kmph winds and a massive black out across Victoria (Australia).

I was with out power for more than 24 hours.

What I missed the most was my perculated coffee and my computer.

I had a little clip on light used for book reading, which I attached to the peak of the cap I was wearing. So this is how I got about.

I was paranoid about tripping and falling and causing further injury to my fractured foot. It is so on the mend now, I didn't want to slow the process with another accident.

But I came out unscathed, I just got a little bored.

I did how ever manage to make this neck warmer by candle light.

It's for my daughter Terrie.

With quite a bit of down time, I thought I'd color my hair.
I grabbed a bleach instead of a tint.
Now I am a nice bright shade of orange.
My daughter Danielle, who is now a legal secretary, has some hairdressing experience and she usually takes care of coloring my hair.
She was not impressed at all!
So she is making me wait another day before she repairs my hair, to a more acceptable color.
