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 

january 31 and february 1, 2026

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 

Aim to Misbehave by Rosiee Thor

better a frog

than a fascist...

Melissa has been busy crocheting new hats for us...

modeled by Frankie - he says "release the Epstein files"

cuz it's cold out there 

and cuz creating keeps her sane

 

twisted logic

speak out

compliance...

doesn't matter...

they have immunity to kidnap and maim and murder us, knowing that they will not be held accountable because of the felon in chief

taken...

now they've weaponized love...

the United States of America is broken ... no one is safe 

eleven and counting

 the eleventh skein finished up the right border...

and a start on the top border...

stitching has been slow going lately - so much anger and not a lotta love left by the time i sit down - so books have been replacing needle and thread ... too much bad jujumagumbo was being stitched into this quilt...
