all together now...

20 blocks from years ago

 plus 25 cornerstones

 and 49 pieces of sashing

there was just enough of the sashing fabric to add a 1" finished border all the way around 

and enough of the cornerstone fabric for the binding and the yellow part of two masks for the next protest - Stand With Ukraine

(and there's enough left of the backing flannel for a pair of shortie pj pants - already cut out and ready to sew)

bonus points for one empty pizza box and half of a shelf cleared

win/win

The future depends on what you do today.

if you say so...

it's making me dizzy

the only piece of remaining fabric that was large enough for sashing was the dark celestial

celestial map

found in the Great Pile of Stuff...

Melissa's map of a Second Saturday Sampler from the Quilters Studio (a Longmont quilt shop that closed more than ten years ago  - i miss those saturday mornings) ... she pieced the blocks that were provided by the shop, and started another set with stash fabric ... it seems that she lost interest after the first 21 blocks, so the map was shortened to five rows of four...

they will  be 9 inches finished ... gonna need some sashing and corner stones cuz 36 x 45 inches overall is kinda small...

and i think the layout is gonna need some tweaking ... there's a pizza box of stash fabric that will have to be used for any additions to this cuz we have a new (old) rule - no new fabric if there's stash that will work 

i don't like the new rule

Wizard's First Rule:

people are stupid.

...given PROPER MOTIVATION, almost ANYONE will BELIEVE almost ANYTHING.

...they will believe a lie because they WANT TO BELIEVE IT'S TRUE, or because they are AFRAID it MIGHT BE TRUE.

 ...they can only RARELY tell the DIFFERENCE between a LIE and the TRUTH, and yet they are CONFIDENT they CAN, and so are all the EASIER to FOOL.

well ... it's something to ponder on a cold spring morning, innit?

oil boom

 this one is gonna take a while...

when the eXMan couldn't find a screwdriver (he could NEVER find a screwdriver)  he'd go out and buy  a new one - every stinkin' time ... and he never, never, ever put them into the gigantic rolling toolbox that i gave him for christmas ... he had dozens and dozens of screwdrivers - multiple duplicates of every kinda screwdriver you can imagine ... he didn't do that with wrenches or hammers or saws or pliers or wire cutters or any of his other tools - just screwdrivers

anywho, when Melissa handed this to me for stitching, i asked her

  what?!? who needs a gazillion oil cans?!? what the what?!?

she just shrugged and muttered something about how NOT FUN it was to trace them ... 

stab stab stab - stitching them isn't gonna be any fun, either

just sayin'

there should be a quote here about oil - but none of the quotes that i read were anything but depressing, so i got nothin'

never again?

so...

i was standing there with my sign

 and a woman in a passing car yelled out at me,

 "How much are you being paid? Fucking lib!"

 which reminded me that i should check on the bleeding heart that i planted a couple of years ago... 

so when i got back home, i searched for it...

look!!! 

it's TWO plants now!!!

make this make sense

i'm trying to understand ... how does this editorial cartoon even make sense? why is the cannon ball landing in the middle of America? why isn't the Chinese dragon running for cover? i don't get it...

who pays a tariff? 

the importer - the person who receives the goods from the exporter - in this case, China is the exporter and the American is the importer

so ... if the importer pays the tariff, how does the importer recover the expense of the tariff?

the importer incorporates the added expense into the end consumer's price

so ... if the added cost from the tariff is added on to the end consumer's price, where does that extra money come from?

 everyday American consumers

so ... China doesn't pay the 145% tariff on all imported goods to the FSA, we pay it?!?

yep, you and me

how does that lower prices?!? isn't that just forcing me to pay a national sales tax?!?

yes. does it make sense to you now?

chain gang

it's a paper chain - like the kind i used to make for the christmas tree when i was a kid (cut from construction paper and pasted together with paste that smelled like wintergreen Life Savers - it didn't taste like it smelled, lemmetellya) 

 this one is a countdown chain 

 the top links are for the months

 and the bottom links are for the days of the current month 

cuz it sucks having to wait 20 

then 28 

then 31 

then 30 days

 and so on

 till a month link can be slashed off

gotta hold onto little joys that add up to big joys

*edited to add that Melissa does the cutting,  taping and assembly ... because she loves me and because she knows that i struggle with impending doom on a daily basis*
