I have about 5 years of Christmas waxed amaryllis in my garden now!

If you have an awkward sized gift to wrap, Trader Joe’s canvas bags at $3.99/$2.99 are a great value that have many uses after the holidays!

Not true —- I immerse mine in water in the sink once every week or so, then tip out any excess after a minute soak. And when they are finished blooming, I remove the wax, put them in a pot with potting soil about a quarter way up the bulb and keep the soil moist until they grow roots.

Seems like it needs water. It’s unusual to have a stalk wither while a flower is still that fresh.

How bad will the airport cuts get? Will it spread to more airports? Higher percent of flights? Why not kill private jets before commercial?

Maybe try a soak in synthrapol with a color catcher? And in future you could soak your bold colored yarns in retayne before use. I use these with my quilting fabrics to fix dyes before use.
The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.
NEW. Powerful piece by Miles Bruner.

"I know the thought of walking away from your career and your social network is terrifying...I urge you to recognize that our nation is heading down a very dark path. But it’s not too late to change direction...Take a stand."

Thank you! I’m going to try to modify it to leave off the double neck band. A bit like Yule Do pattern by Kraemer. I get too warm at the neck. But love love this design!

Gorgeous! Can you share the designer too or a link to pattern on ravelry? Love this and your colors are perfect!
It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part
Good morning.

The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.

Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

Early days for Isabel Kraemer’s Yule Do sweater in Rowan tweed yarn
So many coverups.

Release the Epstein files.

Release the Homan tapes.

Release the Venezuelan fishing boats evidence.
For the record.

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.

I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."
New numbers show ICE is devouring US law enforcement: 1 in 5 US marshals, 1 in 5 FBI agents, half of all DEA agents, and over two-thirds of all ATF agents are now assigned to ICE enforcement. These are agencies with critical jobs they're now NOT doing.

I’m making this now in an alpaca silk blend and loving the pattern! Yours is lovely

You might try an I-cord bind off. It would roll back and hode the pickups if you frog back and have only a row or two after you pick up.

Take her to the fabric shop and let her select a few pinks and browns that she likes to guide your selection of additional fabrics. A few years ago I saw a lot of baby quilts with pink/tan combinations, but you really need her input on the shades of pink and brown.
They’re totally going to do this.

I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is.

This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
Republicans aren't running for office...their polls are dropping...their own base is mocking them and yelling at them at town halls...

And yet they seem very comfortable and unbothered.

Ask yourselves why?
