If I've missed posting on your blog I apologise but I've just had to draw a line under what I've missed and start again. If you are one of the new people who found me through the Grow Your Blog party and I haven't visited you back yet, I will get around to it, it's just taking a bit of catching back up.
No internet for a whole fortnight, aargh! It was like being back in the dark ages (only without the plagues and starvation).
So, what do you do with yourself for two weeks when you can't access the internet. Well if you are me you read three fat novels (I do love me a Fantasy Epic), and make stuff.
I have now made so many "useful baskets" from made from old denim jeans (see this post) that I am in danger of needing a useful basket to keep them all in.
I cut up a charity shop vintage scarf to make bias strips and used them to bind the neckline of a plain t-shirt following instructions in this book which Julie gave me for my birthday.
Two studded leather heart brooches
inspired by this one in faux leather which I made from a cover kit from Mollie Makes
Another cover kit - this one from Cross Stitcher

I am glad that you weren't hurt. We depend more and more on our computers these days for all kinds of communication. Congratulations to your winner. You were busy for sure. Our weather is so crazy with thunder, lightening, hail, rain, and now snow all in one day. I am glad to see that your are back. Have a wonderful day. Shirley@shirleystitches

Great to have you back. It's surprising how much time the internet takes up. Fab makes and I love the bag!

Looks to me like your little mishap had something good about it, what a lot of lovely crafty stuff you've been up to. So pleased the books been useful to you.
I kind of wish my computer would die so that I could get more stuff done! LOL
It certainly has been good for productivity Christine, for the shock factor and the damage - not so good. Glad you are all ok.
A fortnight without t'internet? We'd all have left home and gone to stay with Grandma. Actually I have wifi at work so I might have just moved into the staff room there, imagine sleeping surrounded by books!
You certainly made the best of your journey into the past anyway. Some lovely crafty things being made.
Congrats to Gillie too.

So glad you weren't hurt Christine. Must have been scary.
You've been very productive during those 2 weeks. Love it all.
Yikes! That sounds very scary Christine--so glad you weren't seriously hurt, but I'm sorry to hear so many of your electronic "necessities" got fried... You sure kept busy during your computer-free time--lovely thing that you've made...
Congratulations to Gillie!
