Sewing by candlelight

Last night, I wanted to sew on my sewing machine but couldn't. Our electricity had gone out earlier in the day due to storms coming through and was still out when I got home. So, I did like our grandmothers and great grandmothers...I sewed by candlelight. Wow, it's a wonder any of our ancestors weren't blind. It's hard to do that. We sure have it easy today. We have so many conveniences that we take for granted. I'm so glad I was born in the technology age. I probably wouldn't have made it way back when. I hate doing housework now, I can only imagine how much worse it was for them.... I used the candle-light but I cheated a little too. I had a book light and it was so helpful. Instead of attaching it to a book and using it, I stuck it in my mouth. My son laughed at me and said he knew I was hooked on sewing if I had to do it this way!I worked on the embroidery part of my UFO block, I'm almost finished!
