Things that make me happy today: my pin collection, all pins in place. We don't get decorations out when we're traveling fast but we're here for 3 more days.
Enamel pins from Disney, Foxloft Studios and other sources displayed on a fabric banner with diagonal strips in deep blue, gold, red, green, and brown. The banner is hung under a wooden arch, above a fake stone fireplace.

Good government is NOT a business and does not "run like a business. The purpose of a business is making money for its owner...and to do that many businesses do create value for customers. The purpose of a government is serving its citizens by establishing security, justice, health, etc.

Notice how it’s always, “the Bible must inform our laws!” until it comes to the +2,000 verses in the Bible that discuss the generous use of wealth and possessions in a way that prioritizes the needs of the poor, this sick, the stranger, the vulnerable, and the oppressed.

My wild controversial opinion is that we do, actually, owe it to strangers to take basic precautions and engage in actions that ensure the safety and well-being of others, to make the world accessible and non-hostile and easy to navigate.

Screenshot of a Facebook post featuring three of the Portland protesters wearing inflatable frog costumes with the following text: Episcopalians on Facebook Elizabeth Rose Elrod • 22h • Exodus 8:2-6 "But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs... The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."

WIP (not quite) Wednesday. Chugging along, finally time to work on the FPP project. We're moving fast down to FL and applique is easier for short stays, but at our current location for 5 days so there's time to break out the sewing machine. #quiltsky #quilting #foundationpaperpiecing #FPP
Foundation paper piecing half circle of spikes in pale yellow and blue; the background fabric is dark purple/blue/gold and black. The piece is half finished, laying on a medium purple cutting mat with yellow markings. A rotary cutter, rulers, an awl, and the remaining pieces to be added surround the work.

Bahia Honda Rail Bridge at sunset. A golden sunset silhouettes the framework of a derelict railroad bridge and palm trees. In the foreground the ocean is slate colored.

Folks, I love this novella SO MUCH! Arranged marriage emotional slow-burn, outsiders making a community, grumpy researcher protagonist who's not scared of supernatural creatures but IS scared of socialising, hot devoted vampire husband, fun with fairytales and horror tropes, cosy and satisfying!

Only 2 more days until A Honeymoon of Grave Consequence will be published in ebook and in paperback!

Preorder the ebook now for the special advance price of $2.99/£2.49: books2read.com/honeymoonGrave

#romancelandia
The illustrated cover for A Honeymoon of Grave Consequence, by Stephanie Burgis, shows the silhouette of an elegant traveling carriage over the title and a bat with wings outstretched underneath, all of it framed by apples and with mirrors at the top and the bottom of the image. Above and beside the cover is this snippet of text: Her pulse gave a sudden, panicked jolt. Clearly reflected in the mirror, the ragged duvet was curved in the shape of her husband’s form—but his pillow was empty. What foolishness! Breathing in and out with slow control, Margaret set her teeth together and forced herself not to follow the instinctive urge to twist around and urgently assure herself that her life’s partner was safe. The windows were fully shuttered with multiple layers of thick wooden slats. No sunlight could possibly reach inside this chamber, and she was no weak-nerved ingénue to be taken aback by a perfectly well-known side-effect of vampirism. She had been studying the supernatural for years. Still, she’d never anticipated quite how unnerving it might feel when applied to the single person in the world who was undeniably hers.

Oh I'm just a bill
Yes I'm only a bill
And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill

So let me teach you 'bout
institutional dysfunction-
Since I won't come to a vote:
Cultists have got no compunction.

So I'll never be a law, no way,
though I hope and pray that someday
someone humane steps up to govern.
The adorable little Bill from Schoolhouse Rock, a children's educational public service announcement that ran during Saturday Morning Cartoons in the 1970s. Bill is a cartoon scroll of paper tied up with a red ribbon and a red white and blue button that says BILL. He has a dopey but hopeful expression.

WIP Wednesday: "assembly line" applique.
Newsprint pattern pieces stacked on a lightbox with sewing supplies. On the left side are stacks of folded pale blue fabrics. On the right side are partially finished appliqued morning glory flowers sewn on the pattern squares.

Have finished Gorilla in the Groove, it was fun.

If you are looking for a shifter romance series set in Ireland, I very much recommend.

It is nuanced and funny.

I can’t help it. The grackles are still here, and need to be photographed 🤣
The male Common Grackles usually take every opportunity to display, especially in the spring! But it’s Fall, and this male was displaying a lot! Apparently, he knows what he looks like🤣

A male common grackle in a green spruce tree displaying! He is calling and fluffing all his feathers. And those feathers are vivid blue on his head, and incredible purple , blue and bronze on his wings!

Quilting Note: when you are matching seams on diamond pattern pieces and basting everything to check alignment, DO NOT say to yourself "everything is lining up perfectly why do I even do this basting step". The next few seams will be filled with seam ripping and regret. #quiltsky #FPP

WIP Wednesday: new favorite quilt tool, a water brush. Filled with plain water, use to trace sewing lines before removing papers. Makes foundation paper easier to tear along the lines and leaves fewer leftover bits to pick out with tweezers. #quiltsky #FPP
Foundation paper piecing unit laid paper side up on a cutting mat. Half the paper has been removed, revealing spikes of black and blue fabric alternating on a gold background. A fine-tipped water brush and a pair of narrow nosed tweezers are laid on the paper side of the piece, with a pair of magnifying glasses in the background.

This morning I commend to you William Bell Scott's "Olaf the Dog at the Table".

(National Galleries of Scotland, www.nationalgalleries.org/art-and-arti...)
Pencil sketch: a splendidly hairy dog puts his head on thebtable to investigate a plate. The human eating from the plate is unimpressed. Olaf does not care.
