Happy to be supporting @nolleyforcongress.bsky.social in Peoria. He's got the right ideas and the energy to change the path of #IL16 and defeat droopy Darin Lahood. #VoteInNovember #FlipCongress

I have to finish my library books. I went a bit overboard. The Disaster Gay Detective Agency, A Novel Murder, The Last Mandarin, Death in the Dark Woods, Rasputin Swims the Potomac, and Murder at the Castle. Reading one chapter then go to the next one. 📘📕📔📗

Resting Grover

Scary episode with our dog Hooper tonight. He likely had a seizure and is back to normal. This is two trips to the vet (Grover had a foot injury) and 2 emergency trips to the eye doctor for me in a week. I have had enough excitement for the rest of the year. #dogsofbluesky #tired

Just finished the Berner quilt. It was super fun. Can't wait to give it to our friend. If you want the pattern its from QuiltsFunandFresh on Etsy. Her patterns are amazing. #quiltsky #dogsofbluesky

Rasputin Swims The Potomac by Ben Fountain

Chris@seamripper· Jun 27

I had to think about this a while. Probably these 3 are the most used. All are likely my parent's wedding presents (circa 1964). The pan is the ONLY pan capable of making the best Texas cake. The spoon has made hundreds of chocolate chip cookies. Our dogs eat off the old plates daily.

The focacia and lasagna look much better

Epic fail. Spent 3 hours+ baking coconut cake for Father's day and it looks worse than most disasters on the Great British Bake Off.

Just finished my 3rd quilted pride flag. Not sure how many more I am making, but they came together quickly. Easy pattern from The Geeky Bobbin. #quiltsky #pride #ally

I just love #ObamaAppreciationDay. Taking a moment to gander at our lovely photo of him that hangs in our entrance way.

Chris@seamripper· May 30

Looked at having our daughter's room painted, quote was $1600. Went to Menards and did the whole thing ourselves last weekend

@chaptersbookstore.bsky.social I just got my mother's day present all the way to Peoria from Dublin. These bookends make me laugh. ❤️📘

Finished piecing another quilt. This one I am keeping. It looks just like our Hooper who is a Coton De Tulear. The pattern is by QuiltsFunandFresh from Etsy. #quiltsky #dogsofbluesky #quilting #HooperDooper

Quilt of head and shoulders of a black and white fluffy dog on purple background

Adorable black and white dog looking at you with love.

Chris@seamripper· May 23

That's a great compliment for the pattern designer QuiltsFunandFresh. I can't take that credit, I just followed her instructions. Someday I hope to have time to learn to make my own patterns. I did spend 2 weeks sewing it together.

Chris@seamripper· May 22

Working on the quilting. This is going to a friend & I am including her dogs' names. There's a lot of starting and stopping coming up for the dog fur, so I am taking a break. #quiltsky #dogsofbluesky #quilt

Quilt top on longarm machine. Green grunge background with Bernese mountain dog in slightly geometric design with pink tongue hanging out. Quilted in background are words "woof" "Fritz" "Uma", along with paw prints and hearts.

Chris@seamripper· May 20

Also done!

@kenwhite.bsky.social Dismayed while trying to solve the Spelling Bee from Saturday that you are not officially recognized by the NYT...

Chris@seamripper· May 16

Finished piecing the Bernese Mountain dog. Can't decide if I want to make it a wall hanging or add some bones etc to make a small lap quilt... #quiltsky

Chris@seamripper· May 15

@ellygriffiths.bsky.social @libro.fm I love the Ruth books so much that I not only have the books but also bought the audiobooks. I purchased 3 from Libro last year that were delayed until this June & just saw they are now delayed until December???

I finished the school year with more than 32,000 pages read! Sad that my little one is going to high school and I won't be in the Project Bulldog reading group next year.
