“Untrained” offers legitimacy. It’s saying they’d be fine if they were better equipped, professionalized killers with same agenda.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Completed the exterior of the corset #handbag. Attaching the base was the most difficult thus far. 😩
I’m modifying the pattern to make the bag fully lined for a more polished look to the non-leather interior. Hoping that goes as planned. 🤞🏻😬 🤞🏻

The more chaotic the world gets, the slower and more tedious my work becomes.
These pieces will eventually become a #handbag. At least that’s the plan in my head. Even though I’ve never before punched or saddle-stitched a damn thing. Because coping. 😬

Given his unjust banning, I am taking up Link's charge and doing Fund Me Fridays in his stead.
If you have funding needs, drop them in the thread below. I'll also be grabbing links that I've missed from previous threads and reposting them.
Today is a good day to meet some people's needs.

Everything is terrible so I'm focusing on things I can control: Like this WICKEDly zippered creation. I'd been waiting on the midnight rainbow zipper tape to complete the front panel. Hoping to finish the rest tomorrow! 🫶🏻

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.
In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.
