I’ve canceled Disney+. They wanted to know the reason so in “Other” I wrote “You fired Jimmy Kimmel. When you’ve hired him back then I’ll re-subscribe.” I don’t watch late night TV but I believe in our 1st amendment rights and will defend them in my small and insignificant way.

This is 1 of 3 quilts I entered in our local quilt show last week. It’s Piecemaker BOM by MSQ. I added lots of writing in the quilting. #quilts

I was finally able to block my Shetland Hap Shawl on quilt frames. I love how it turned out. I used Jamison yarn to make it. Thanks Tina Johnston for teaching us! #TwistedPicot #knitting

I finished this quilt last Saturday and put the label on today. At one point I was ready to throw it away or even burn it because there were so many mistakes. I finally finished it and am really glad I did. I’m calling it my Miracle Quilt. #quilt #stackandwhackquilt #ilovepurple

In 1976 I was an LDS missionary serving in Japan. I lived in Morioka for 6.5 months before the Shinkansen was there. I went back in 2018 and Morioka has grown but is still one of my favorite cities in Japan. I even got to see the trains kiss!

We said goodbye to this sweetie today. My heart aches with her loss. She came from a rescue in May of 2009 but was born after the rescue happened so she was a sweet normal pup. She was almost 16 years old. She was always smiling. I love you, Lacy!#miniamericaneskimorescue #miniamericaneskimodog

I’m reading “The Runaway Family” by Diney Costeloe. It’s about a Jewish family trying to escape from Germany and then Austria. It’s so well written that I’m having dreams about being a part of the family and on the run. The scary part is that it’s happening again for too many people. #dineycosteloe

These are Nanking cherry bushes. Usually the bees are all over them but I haven’t seen a single bee yet. Maybe it’s still too cold? I live in zone 7. #gardening #wherearethebees #springishere

Not the best photo and the lighting is poor but the top is finished. My trucks are purple because I love purple and red just isn’t my thing right now. Crafting helps keep my mind off all the horror going on in the world. #quilt #truckquilt #ericamade #quilting

My newest design is ready and on sale at www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/7361...
This design is based on a sketch of my handsome tuxedo cat, Little Dragon. He loves flopping onto his back and waiting for belly rubs. I added a rainbow because both my mom and I love rainbows.

I don’t know about you but to me a rainbow signifies HOPE. We just had the most brilliant full double rainbow I’ve ever seen. It actually made my day. #rainbows

This just makes me angry! The only options left in small towns are Amazon or HL.
Going into a store to see what they have is so much better than trying to find it online. That’s always a last resort.
I boycott HL.

Trump has begun firing several hundred FAA employees.
Guess who is visiting the FAA command center today to "suggest improvements"?
Elon Musk, of course.
The billionaire grift continues.
