I am so glad that September is almost over. We live 40 miles from Galveston, Texas. We live in the evacuation zone of Hurricane Ike. We did not evacuate because my husband said it was only a catagory 2. We would be fine.The wind started picking up around 3 pm on September 12, Friday. The wind was very bad, the storm surge was horrible, the rainfall was very limited. It was a scary experience. We suffered minimum damages as far as roof, trees, and fence. We lost electricity for 7 days . I lost all my food in the 2 refrigerators but we were lucky to have water and hot water. The regular phone service did not work for 5 days and the cell phone was useless. I was told during a diaster period, text message is the best way to keep contact. Thank you for the ones that have emailed me and kept me and my family in your prayers.
Here is a link to show some of the damages around the areas:

A 15 sides biscornu(font and bottom and I don't have the side pictures taken yet) and a needleminder (there is a magnet in the middle to hold needles). I am still working on the needleroll design and they will be available in October.
here are some pictures:
