In Saskatchewan we have highway cameras so you can see road conditions.

Sometimes they’re very helpful.

Sometimes we have blizzards.

They were both badly bruised; nearly the whole nail was blackened. I thought I’d lose the nail. Guess which toenail got THE LAMP? (Yes, I do chalk it up to improved circulation because the lamp is warm, more than wavelength healing.)

If you’re in #YQR, head down to Darke Hall before nine. There’s a farmers market on and this amazing lady is selling gorgeous rings made from spoons (I have a weakness).

Oh yes. I bought seeds six years ago and have been harvesting seed ever since. These are red and orange and gold and yellow and they grow tall and bushy. These ones are scraggly AF because they got ruined by hail…that window is about 2.5’ off the ground.

I want to keep all the floof of the skirt. The back has an elastic on the top “rail” and there’s no seam in the back so I think putting one in might be in “might as well take it apart” territory.

Sewists!

I bought a linen and polyester sundress that’s a size or two too big (it was on SUPER SALE). I want to alter it in the bodice/bust to be less…just less.

What’s going to be the best? A couple of pleats in the sides? Darts?

IT HAS POCKETS.

My keychain exploded recently, somehow without my noticing, and the back of it and the emergency key went walkabout. I’m going to start posting these photos on milk cartons….

This was the start of it. Back when the hailstones were only the size of golf balls. As you can hear.
