The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

flimsy whimsy

Vintage Tin is a pattern designed by Meg Hawkey of Crab-Apple Hill - but i think it oughta be called Road Kill Road

well, it's in one piece

that bottom row of flying geese - sheesh - three tries to get it right

it is 66" x 72", the backing is sewn together and the binding is prepped (and labeled so i don't forget what it's for) - yay.

so much rage-stabbing in that embroidery!!! it's gonna need an exorcism to get rid of the bad jujumagumbo...

reindeer games

12 skeins and counting

déjà vu all over again

Liam is five years old and was transported to a  concentration camp after being used as bait by masked thugs who kidnapped him and his father, even though both are here legally...

now he is feverish, vomiting, depressed, lethargic - he just wants to go home

 Dilley ICE facility is a hellhole that is imprisoning victims who have been abducted from their homes...

let my people go

and release the Epstein files
