I mostly make stuff. Often it's trouble.
I got a new t-shirt. The first person to recognize Cthulhu knitting when I go out today is gets to pick a snackie out of auntie's purse.
Tonight's dinner is whole grain bowls with salmon and veggies from the garden.
Look what I found at a yard sale this morning. Anyone like old Underwood typewriters?
I found this hot pink celluloid beauty in my Nana's button jar after she passed away, just the one. So I hand stitched the entire pin cushion just so show it off. Buttons are awesome.
Mama Wild Turkey and her poults out for a stroll in the neighborhood before it gets too hot.
Vintage sewing and knitting book grab from a garage sale yesterday. I got all three of these for 5 bucks and they're in excellent condition.
"Honey, it's a nice morning I'm going to go clear the rest of those invading grape vines off our back fence..."
I got bored after a half dozen lavender bottles so I made a wreath out of some grape vines I pulled off the back fence (can't just grab a grapevine wreath at joanns anymore) and the rest of the lavender. It still needs a bow but I want it to hang and dry first in case anything loosens up.
I saw this one in Lowell on Thursday and shot my iced Dunks out of my nose.
Good morning! It's lavender harvest day in the garden. There's a lot this year, lavender bottles maybe?
Congresswoman fuckwit thinks the Girl Scouts are being sent into combat now? Nothing says 'Lori doesn't actually give a fuck' like confusing a Bronze Award with a Bronze Star.
Grilling some pork and cooking some Chinese broccoli from the garden for dinner.
Tumbling blocks is what it's called in quilting. I sewed this one a few years ago.
My blueberry bushes are about 18 years old and, honestly, I've never been great about annual pruning. They were really getting leggy and not producing so during the February thaw I decided I had nothing to lose giving renovation a shot. I cut them all 6" from the ground. Look at all that new growth!
No one at Phillips Academy Andover could make a 2 minute video without using AI? Best and brightest people my fat lily white ass. JFC, what assholes.
Fuck Trump and every single fucking MAGA waste of skin that voted for him. Your stupidity did this to all of us. I've scraped things smarter and more valuable than you off the bottom of my shoe with a stick. There. Whew. Rant over.
Does anyone else use triangles as their epp hexagon quilt assembly base unit? I'm on the last, 30th, unit before sewing the rows and squaring up with half hexis.
It will never cease to amaze me that I can still get 12 stitches per inch by hand when working on an EPP quilt top after a ruptured brain anyerism and a couple brain surgeries. Shout out to neurosurgery at BMC.
Although, I'm no longer sure of the date. I found this home sewing course in the cabinet that dates to 1937. They go from intro to custom fitting and tailoring.
