Most of the country, and particularly those of us on the East Coast, have been glued to the coverage of hurricane Irene. We have several Etsy Freethinker Team members who live in her direct path. I,
altarspace, am one of those! However, I live in Vermont, so it won't be as bad for me as for others. The whole teams thoughts and prayers go out to
MarthaHorman who is really really in the direct path of Irene and deciding to ride it out. She has made good preparations and made sure she had all the beads she would need to weather the storm and complete the beading project she started. In an effort to get the Sunday Supplement created and on the web before our power goes out, I figured I would share pictures of the preparations we have made for Irene.

| Water storage! We filled every container we had in the house. Don't worry, this isn't all we have, there are 6 large jugs of water on the kitchen floor. We are keeping these cold to help cool the frig when the electricity goes out. |
 |
| Weather radio, lantern, flashlight. We have candles too. |
 |
| Our makeshift altar, where lot's of praying is being done to protect us, our house and those we love. |
We know we will lose power so we plan to spending the day making art, playing cards, and praying that the river by our house doesn't flood over it's banks, the trees behind the house don't fall on us and that the road to civilization doesn't get washed away! So while we are riding out Irene, you can visit my
etsy shop for all your spiritual decoration needs. Stay tuned for aftermath pictures!
