Finished my 2nd jeans repair project. Now I’ll have to switch back to darning. Lots of socks with thin heels ready for practice!

I love that I finished this project and the only thing I bought was a bit of denim from my local craft reuse shop!!

I’m on a roll with #visiblemending Don’t recall why I thought jeans with pre-made holes were a good idea. But they’re so much better now!! Made with the help of my great, great, great grandmother’s embroidery hoop and not too much cat interference. #sashiko #shopless

Learned visible mending and saved a favorite pair of jeans. Perfect way to celebrate the economic blackout.

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, just pick one thing/organization/cause and start fighting. Try to do one thing each day, large or small. They are trying to shut us down, but we are stronger than that.

I was today years old when I learned that One Night in Bangkok is about a chess tournament. And is just one song in an entire musical about chess. 😳

Realization of the day: Life is too short to drink bad tea.
