 Melissa has been busy crocheting - she said that i can have the dragon stuffie now,  but i have to wait till christmas for the shawl

i can do that...

FIREFLY is making a comeback!!! it's gonna be animated (disappointing but not a dealbreaker) and i'm gonna get to see Serenity (my very most favorite starship EVER) and her crew again - yay!!!

and look what was released at market...

disclaimer - i don't like bugs ... anything with more than four legs (or reptilian, or amphibian, or avian, or rodentian, or insectoidian, and, yeah, i'm making up words cuz i am trying to make a point here, or not an air breather or not human, in general, and a whole lotta of humans in particular, for that matter) isn't/aren't welcome in my house ... truly, though, i'm not too crazy about animals in general - including the two-legged kind ... i'm totally okay with anyone and everyone else loving their animals, just don't expect me to join in with a happy heart 

anywho - i don't like bugs, but i am totally gonna stitch me a firefly

 and his little bottom is gonna glow in the dark.

just sayin' 

dyswis 3

Melissa is gonna try to grow some sweet potatoes 

i spy with my little eye - a penguin 

and whether or not she is successful 

i spy with MY little eye - a flamingo 

i still get to use my imagination 

signs from march 22, 2026

GTFO

the algorithm in YouTube showed me click bait that formed an idea in my head for the other side of the sign...

follow this link GTFO to a YouTube sing-a-long

can't say that i like Big Brother knowing so much about me and my thoughts, but it is what it is and what it is is the start of the other side...

THAT block of ice is twice the size of the little one and took half as long to sew - i might actually finish this in time for No Kings 3 

(yes, you can follow that link to a location near you)

words

i dunno why this has been so difficult...

my new sign for No Kings 3 needs to look like lava  and i don't know how to do that with poster board or pizza boxes, so i found some fabric that might pass for lava 

then i had to draft paper-pieced letters cuz i am allergic to the A word

 (the A word is applique and it makes me break out in itches just to type it)

and then i had to redraft the letters cuz i forgot that paper-piecing is reversed...

anywho, the letters were FINALLY done and ready to lay out...

Melissa said that this way is confusing cuz onen and cdrg aren't words

 i said what the heck are you talking about?!? 

oh. so, do you ALWAYS read left to right and NEVER top to bottom?

 huh ... well ... alrighty then

and that this way makes more sense

and i said oh ... okay ... i see it if i squint but LAVA doesn't shout like it needs to

so she moved the little letters

 and we both agreed that it was better but maybe not great 

so i sewed the little letters together cuz they were no fun to move and move and move and messed with them some more

and it stopped being fun - time to commit

 

yeah, i think this is gonna be okay

anywho... 

for some perspective, that NO ice block is 6" by 6" and even knowing  what i know i find it hard to believe that it took an entire week in the magick shoppe to get this far...

now, for the other side...
