Skimmed the statement by the Obamas.

"...Tragedy..."
This wasn't a tragedy. This was another execution. An execution more blatant than the last.

Ah. I have not missed PMS.

"Welcome, Melinda, to PMS this month. Monday, we are going to alternate between existential dread, other depressing thoughts of death and The Killers songs-- which we are already totally sick of-- with extreme melancholy. (Continues...)

Sorry, I don't post much. I pretend I have friends on faceplate too. Here's a dress.
This view shows the front of a dress with the skirt being held to show it off. The following description is repeated on all 3 photos. Sleeveless patchwork dress being worn by a woman in front of a bookshelf. It is a shiny polyester. The dress is black on the bodice with a dark purple stripe. A little more black then diagonals of teal, grey-purple, grey-green, and dark purple in a log cabin pattern. This view shows the back of a dress with the skirt being held to show it off.

One "panel" pinned to my dress.
Part of a patchwork dress on a dressform. Top is black with some decorative black on the shoulders and at the waist. The color bit I have done on the skirt is purple, teal, and grey-green. There is one change from the next photo and that is a small patch of dark purple in the bottom left. (More description of the skirt on the next photo) The skirt fabric placed of the table with some marks on the photo to give the approximate shape-- which is triangular. Top purple. Next row down teal with a stripe of dusty purple going vertical on the right of it down to the bottom of the skirt. Next row purple with the grey green vertical next to the dusty purple also ending at the bottom of the skirt. Pattern repeats teal horizontal, dusty purple vertical. This photo only shows grey-green on the bottom left, but currently has a purple to the left of the green.

I know I don't have much of a follower base, but if anyone wants to give an opinion on a suprise project I am making for a friend...

Sora from KH3 wielding a keyblade from KH2... is this too wrong for you? (This movie is particularly enjoyed by said friend)

In representing the phrase "home is where the heart is"
Would you put

the home in the heart
Or
The heart in the home

Or maybe some sort of picture in picture home in heart in home in heart....

This would be on a quilt.

Wedding yesterday. I had a lovely time. Now I don't know my purpose-- spent the last few weeks working on my dress...
Left: Myself-- woman with purple hair and glasses, wearing my handmade dress light green lace on top and green silk on the bust. Right: my significant other-- shortish brown hair and glasses wearing an jacket, light green shirt, and light light green tie. (Full Windsor) Group photo. Two guys in the back giving goofy thumbs up do to inside joke.

I want to learn Portugal Portuguese. Not Brazilian Portuguese.

SO replies with I'd just have a Brazilian accent.

So I went on asking him what a boot is, chips, chips the otherway, a row, and which floor was the first. All he got was the chips/fries/crisps!

Due to AWP and other obligations, I broke my pattern of posting my overview of the history of the Anti-Rent War. I figure I might as well get back to it. Link to the prior installment and previous installments here: bsky.app/profile/eric...

Given my previous pattern, I suppose this will be my weekly update about the history of the Anti-Rent War. Link to last week and the week before can be found here:

In light of recent news, I feel like now might be a good time to continue describing my research of the Anti-Rent War for the novel I am working on. For those uninitiated, the first part can be found here:

Back of a dress (wearing the dress, I am standing awkwardly and taking a photo in the mirror) The top of the dress is a light green lace. Followed by green stereotypical style cherry blossom silk (or silk-like fabric) then a shiny dark purple. In chevron pattern from there is alternates between a goldenrod strip and more green with golden cherry blossoms. On either side of the chevron is a strip of the goldenrod. With purple and goldenrod in a similar pattern on either side. A photo of the side of the dress in the mirror. The front is green with golden cherry blossoms and the side starts with the green by the armpit. Then dark shiny purple with chevron strips of goldenrod. There is a pocket behind on of the strips. My hand is in the pocket. To either side of the purple is a goldenrod strip going down the dress. Front of the dress. the top is a light green lace. Front center green with golden cherry blossoms. On either side is a strip of goldrenrod. Then purple and strips of golden chevrons down the sides. I am holding the dress to show the sides. This is the same as the previous photo, but opposite. Terrible alt text reads: Front of the dress. the top is a light green lace. Front center green with golden cherry blossoms. On either side is a strip of goldrenrod. Then purple and strips of golden chevrons down the sides. I am holding the dress

Trying to figure out why I'm still anxious despite my dog being okay.... realized it's the state of this country.

That should have been obvious.

Chicken soup.

I need more people I am friends with near me. So I can say, later, in spring: come over lets go hiking. Or sit in the yard and watch birbs.

Pattern ideas for the back of a dress. Opinions?
Light green lace on the right (top) then silky green followed by purple with yellow stripes and chevrons. Similar to the first image. Lace top on the top of this photo. But this one has some burgundy lace on the top

My significant other has expertly stuck his car in the snow. Thankfully, in our driveway. Unfortunately, he has to go into the office tomorrow.

I still want to be creative, but I have to get up early tomorrow, so I want to play games now.

Also, I don't know what to do... not sit here and do nether..

I keep stopping and saying to myself, "I'm being way too ambitious." Of course, then I say "well, I have to keep going."

Personal #dress work in progress. And yes, there will be pockets. This mannequin (formally known as Martha, now Sora) is too big for me.

#fashiondesign #sewingproject #wip
A mannequin with halfish of a dress pinned on the front half. This view shows the side with half a chevron (there will be a chevron once the other side is done)and a zipper. The front and top of the side are green silky stereotypical asian style. There is a yellow/goldenrod strip going down the side and diagonal stips to the center of the side. The bigger parts of the chevron are a dark purple. A mannequin with halfish of a dress pinned on the front half. This view shows mostly the front.

The back has some green parts. The top bust will be lace.

Way old ones. I don't even have a finished pic of the appliqué pillow?? And an old bad sketch of two OCs for celebration of gay marriage legalization, probably.

#v-day #art #OCs #sewing #sketch #couples
Fabric cut for an appliqué project (pillow) two owls (great horned inspired) one in blues and purples, the other in purples and pinks. They are on a branch with orange vaguely heart-shaped leaves. A crescent moon hangs in the tan sky. Sketch of two OCs for... celebration of gay marriage legalization in the US national. If I recall correctly. One can magically manipulate fabric the other has fire powers.

Dress I will be working on next. will have pockets. Based on my favorite black dress that started to fall apart.

Don't you dare accidently close the window, when you go see if those flowers are based of cherry blossoms, because nothing will be here when you return.
Dress sketches. Above the breast will be lace. Green on front. Wome green, purple and some goldenrod chevrons on the side. Similar on the back, but with more green. Fabric for dress. Lefy to right. Green with asian style (cherry blossoms?) Goldenrod embroidered flowers. Possibly silk. Goldenrod. Not silk, just silky. Warm dark purple. Probably not silk. Also, silky.

Quick sketch inspired by a friend's story idea.
Sorry, did not feel like editing the color balance.
Pencil sketch of a man with no face or a blank mask. He wears a sweater vest with a tie on a collared shirt under and has a messager bag/cross body bag on.
