Photos don’t do the color justice. I just transitioned to 2 strands of LYBC’s Rumpelstiltskein’s Hay Hideaway (the row on the cable) from 1 of RHH & LYBC’s Orange Peel. Below that is 2 of Orange Peel. Adella Colvin’s Lola Bean Yarn Company yarn is so vibrant, it’s breathtaking.

Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.
My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you spread the word?

I’ve been working on this one for awhile. Had it put away when school got too busy. I picked it back up again about a month ago. Pattern is Night Market by Laura Aylor and yarn is Miss Babs Caroline in Sugar, Strange Magic, Embellish, Orchid, and Walking on Sunshine. I’m about 50% in.

Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of two facts:
1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it.
Read this out loud. Read it again. Then teach it to your kids.

CLARIFICATION :
The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline.
They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY
So spread this around
They can be texted. They can be called.

You know those books that you finish and then sigh with satisfaction and adoration for the work and the author? Yeah, that’s this book. Storylines so intricately woven, characters that are complex, descriptions that make you feel immersed. I loved this book! 📚💙🪐

Loving the melding of the colors so far. Bottom section is 2 strands of Emma’s PPS in Tangerine Mist. Color shift near the top is 1 of Emma’s and 1 of LBYC’s Orange Peel. Top 4 rows are 2 strands of the LBYC. Pattern is Don’t Ewe Want Me by Patrick Donohue for Textillian Studios.

You know that feeling when you don’t know which you are loving more, the story or the prose? *sigh* So satisfying.

our Daily Affirmation:
Even as a clown car full of tiny minds tries to lead a parade of hateful idiots through the country, I remain bright, pleasant and sweet. Today, unburdened by a future unknown, I am a fucking delight.
