A sensible use of your morning.

I'm not sure. I've set off back stitching for now so I can at least get my ugly running stitches out. It's hand made with love and I'm not a sewer so straight ish and secure and I'm good.

I just need something nice and secure to sew 2 thick edges, and not come apart from a human leaning on it. I'm tearing my hair out.

Thanks mate. It's been an emotionally exhausting one! The world is a complete bin fire. Take care of yourself too.

And I've got to buy my essentials, we can't all be doing colonisation and wars to steal it.

Yeh, I don't have the bandwidth to deal with what I saw as bad faith instigating, now I can't find them to unblock.

As a special interest I can give you 3 short sentences or a 3000 post info dump. I've gone to bat for my sister facing homelessness today on no spoons so I just can't.

Apologies I didn't cover the intricacies of resistance and collaboration in occupied Poland in my off the cuff, three short sentence quip! Silly me.

Sorry I don't have the spoons to go into detail but yes, Poland in WW2 is one of my autistic special interests, i probably know more than most. Poland had increible resistance, were the first victims of the polish death camps but also had Nazi collaboration. That now can't be studied.

Gorgeous! Here's to comfy feet. Enjoy your festive treat.

LMAO. That massive death camp just sprung up and surprised them? Shifting the borders to skooch them into Germany?

Solvair uses a gorgeous turquoise thread too.

Solvair took over years ago and they make them in the uk to almost (they've suffered some enshitification) the same old doc standard.

I last got docs 8 years ago and they're poorly constructed so one has a horrific tongue seam. Incredibly poor.

*while having my sore eye taped shut.

Sounds perfect! Love a dark, dreich, day. Soon the light(er) days return.

And thank you to Jemma for saying that BUT 'underage women' is not a thing. They're children Jemma. They trafficked children.
