I'm back, we're fine!

Well, NJ was hit very hard.  We live in Toms River and most of the area is devastated.  If you are able to watch any of the photos, they don't even show the complete ruins.  Some areas look like a war zone after an explosion.  But we now have power back, complete with Internet access and cable t.v.  However, telephone service, both landline and cell, is sporadic.  We found out today that Gov. Christie made next Monday the official day for trick-or-treating. 

I'm off all week from work because the schools are closed.  So many in the district in which I sub still have no power and may not have it for another few days.  And the nights are getting colder. 

I did sew some doll clothes this morning.  This afternoon I went out with hubby.  The trees on houses is terrible.  The lines for gas remind me of 1973 when gas was rationed. 

Wanting to work on the last two houses, I decided to just buckle down and do it.



The dragon house now has a green and white checked floor.  I just loved the paper.  Those pillars are crazy and somewhat difficult when measuring but they will work.  I have to paint the walkway and I don't know what I want to do to it.  Any suggestions?










 

I then turned my efforts to the store.  There is now a second floor and both it and the first floor are papered with purple paper.  I think it looks like tile.  There are a few things left to do on this store yet. 









My goal is to finish the houses so I can concentrate on making things for the inside of them. 

Tomorrow I will do more.  I missed writing this for the past two nights. 

Until then....
