A DM = **INSTANT BLOCK** unless there's a reason.

Knitter, spinner, crocheter, reader, thinker, liberal, Weaver, Dyer, mom, RN, Army & AF vet, grandma, Missouri expatriate, cat lover, trying to punch up and not down and support anyone different than me
I'm trying to maintain my sanity, crafting is my first resort. New projects help too (DOPAMINE!) . So I started new little things to go with 🎄🎄 cards next year.

3/100 finished.

Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

I posted this to Nextdoor after a kind encounter on Saturday night. I have gotten 8 really nice comments and 195 likes. I like that this potentially brightened a bunch of days.

The USPS package part the next:

It took 2 days, 2 hours, 59 minutes for the package to go 10.9 miles.

BFF Package Update:
@neenee9.bsky.social

It got released after (apparently) being held captive in KC. But after 26 hrs, we can only hope it's headed east for the last 150 miles.... Currently traveling ~5.8 mph or less.

The KC post office completely lost a gift to a friend 2 years ago.

@neenee9.bsky.social Your Christmas present seems to be stuck in Kansas City. It travelled to Des Moines on the slowest of boats, but was dispatched quickly to KC. Then it hung out for 3 days in KC, but was "In Transit to Next Facility."

I'd trust David Brin's Postman more than the KC Post office

I have to say the USPS is batting .333 this holiday season. Of 3 packages sent on Friday the 19th.
#1: Said it was delivered, my friend hasn't received it.
#2: Grandkid in MO's package sailed through.
#3: BFF in MO's gift, still on the way: has been "moving through the network since the 24th from KC

From his lips to all ears. His words echo my heart.

As my Pop would have said, "Have a Merry Merry & a Happy Happy."

I've had the song "The Closing of the Year" echoing in my head all month.

We are starting a new Christmas Eve tradition, we had hot chocolate and read new books (or at least unread previously).

I chose The Last American Road Trip by @sarahkendzior.bsky.social , whose writing is amazing.

Looking at all the crafting I've done since August... I must be insane.

~45 mini watercolors
2 afghans completed
4 emotional support chickens
2 Christmas cat trees
1 Christmas acrylic painting
1 Halloween standee
2 Halloween acrylic paintings
2 wooden boxes
1 Christmas diorama..

And probably more.

Don’t be fooled by how “Cute” she is.
I was doing my Christmas Present Patrols, and she was hiding to try and attack me!

Mandatory veils, morality police, and shrinking rights: this is what happens when extremists and dictators are allowed to roll back women’s freedom: half the population shoved back into the shadows, whole societies dragged backwards.
