Ren faire bodice/stays is coming along nicely, and I may have used half of my remaining roll of boning on it lol

Back at it again- just in time for more Ren Faire nonsense. Attempting all of the sewing, beading and crafting

If you are in the U.S. and care about our beautiful national forests and public lands, please take a minute to call your Senate representatives and demand that they oppose the sale of public lands in the "one big beautiful bill".

We now know that the GOP's Big Ugly bill would allow for the sale of 250 MILLION acres of public land. 5.4 million in Washington state.

We can't let them jam this through in secret.

Help me say it loud and clear for Republicans: Public lands belong in public hands.

The state of the union is that Trump fired cancer researchers and forest service rangers.

He's letting Elon Musk smash the Social Security Administration into pieces.

And he is pushing Congress to pass more tax giveaways for billionaires while destroying Medicaid.

For those in the Seattle area, here's a list of local fabric stores since most of our Joann's are closing:

Pacific Fabrics- Seattle
Stitches- Seattle
Fabrics for Less- Renton
Ben Franklin- Redmond

Please comment ones I'm missing- and no I didn't miss Hobby Lobby, I don't support them.

Started seeds for our veggie garden today, wish me good pepper luck. They're tough to grow here.

Do you love living in the great state of Washington? Let's keep it that way! HB1584 is attempting to do away with mail in voting and return to in-person only. Sound like bullshit? That's because it is! Let your reps know just how much bullshit it is here

USAID, currently being shut down by Elon Musk, purchases about $2 billion annually in rice, wheat, lentils, and peas from American farmers.

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.

I called mine today and left messages! As someone who despises phone calls, it wasn't too bad using 5calls.org
Government-wide censorship, freeze in funding, data compromise. Let's call this what it is: an authoritarian takeover. Nobody voted for this. They will take as much power as we give them. CALL your politicians now. Emails/letters are often ignored.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

#BlueSkyArtShow “Light”
Just off my easel today. I will probably tinker a bit more. In oils. From my series “At our feet”. These leaves were in Cheticamp, Nova Scotia this October. A glorious place in the fall.

Here's my #blueskyartshow contribution for the #light theme- this was for the design of my Halloween costume this past year. Water based brush pens on mixed media paper. Hoping my next contribution for this can be something more current

I baked bread yesterday and as always am very amused by the yeast

Here's one of my Halloween costume photoshoot images I'm particularly proud of. Need to learn some more photo editing than the basics though... it's a work in progress! #art #photography #costumesewing

My obsession with the Unicorn Tapestries knows no bounds and is currently trying to assert its dominance in getting me to make a shirt inspired by it. You know, normal Tuesday things.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Protect trans youth! These kinds of bills do NOT have a place in our state, please write to oppose it.
Are you in the great state of Washington? Let's keep it that way! HB 1038 seeks to target the already vulnerable trans youth population. Use this link to tell our representatives to oppose this weak attempt to harm our community.

Here's my first attempt at block printing, done a few months ago. Inspired by the Unicorn Tapestries at the Met Cloisters. Someday I will get to see them in person but for now, my own attempt will have to do. #art #blockprinting
