I make my own clothes and love to see what others are making. Also politics, dogs, food, science. Basically a Renaissance woman.
I'm making a (muslin) thing! So excited to have survived the fitting, welt pockets, lapels and collar. This is Jasika from Closet Core patterns. Planning to make lightweight twill and wool versions.

I bring one of these kits with me when I'm at protests (even when I'm not an acting medic) and when we camp. They're tiny, plenty of room to throw one in your backpack along with lunch and water.
This is the point where we combine street medicine with tactical medicine. Of course we always hope for a peaceful protest environment....

I like this synopsis. Yep. We all we got, we all we need.
Thanks to everyone who came out for No Kings. You had me in real tears of joy in Atlanta. I watched you chase the Proud Boys off site and help each other when the crowd got packed. Y'all will change the world.

Couple things I learned today:
- Seniors are extremely fired up about this
- "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now
- People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA
- We all we got, we all we need

Spouse and self have decided to write a book entitled "101 places that your dog will hate," based on our camping adventures with the long-suffering Angus. Chapter 1 is our current location, Black Rock Mountain State Park in Georgia, close to 3" of rain today and wind gusts in the low 40 mph range.

My Acworth colleagues! I'm proud to have been a partner to a veteran (#gonavy) for over 40 years, and hate the way vets have faced decreasing support for years, and now it's getting even worse.

I did not know this, even though I'm paying attention. This bill contains much more than slashed funding. It gives the president a free pass on ignoring judges' orders.

It's almost sewing season (too hot to go out) where I live - despite the many humbling moments/hours, it's always a good time.
Need something to keep you humble? Learn how to sew. Oh you've been sewing for 20 years? It doesn't matter, you will still somehow accidentally sew the crotch of some shorts to the collar of a shirt and spend 3 hours with a seam ripper while inventing new curse words

Know that what they're calling "federal assistance" is every clinical trial, every research project, every HIV program, Head Start, bird flu prevention, and so much more.
Order to pause federal spending creates deep uncertainty for schools, nonprofits and companies.

Sometimes a $1 thrift store silky remnant just calls to me from the closet and says, "I want to be a slip!" Who am I to say no? Pattern Union #flawlesscamisole. #sewsky #sewing

Wow. TL;DR: unmedicated non-REM sleep clears your brain of substances that lead to neurologic diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Go to bed!
Publications in the past week built substantially on our knowledge of the brain's waste disposal system—glymphatics—and the implications on sleep and brain aging.

IG has been my sewing/creative inspo for years, and it's tough to leave. Hoping BlueSky can help to fill the void. Posting some pics so the algorithm knows I'm here. Satin #ChiaraPants, pattern by Tessuti Fabrics, wore these to a lovely wedding in Dec. 2023.
