Close up picture of a full painted fairy door. It comes to a jaunty pointy top and is painted a wonderful pumpkin colours. The door frame is wide and follows the curve of the door. It’s painted a chocolaty brown and to either side has a few autumn leaves hand painted on. The door handle is a straight twig and the hinges are lyrically curved making a stark almost viny pattern against the door. If you had subscribed last week you would know how to make this. But if you want to learn how to install it in a Cosy Fairy Room, the tutorial link in the post will enlighten you. Top down view of a Miniature Fairy Room just getting its act together. A parquet floor has been laid but it’s bare wood. There is an obvious hearth shape blank on the floor where the fireplace is missing and the wainscoting area of the wall is merely black. There is pretty wall paper of a mottled green leaf motif with larger copper leaves throughout. On the right hand wall is the hint of a black outline that might be a door. If you want to find out how it got this way and what the next steps are, follow the link in the post to my tutorial and all its secrets will be yours.

This “deal” is a surrender that all congressional Democrats should reject out of hand. It’s bad policy that will raise healthcare prices and bad politics that gives the regime more power to do more harm. Make no mistake: As some Senate Democrats consider surrender, Republicans are losing this fight.

🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another “Schumer Surrender.”

That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now.

Ezra Levin on Bluesky: “I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave. It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.”

A smallish piece of scrapbook paper in a mottled green with a copper leaf motif laying on a purple cutting mat, a hand holding a black pen is pointing out a yellow dashing line superimposed on the paper. Why is that? What could it possibly be signifying? Might be a good miniature wallpapering tutorial that is linked in the post - I’d go check it out if I were you. A mysterious black painted miniature floor. On it a row of short boards in groups of three. Each section alternates directions. Further into the floor is a squiggle of glue delineating the next row of boards and a giant hand with a paint brush artistically is smearing the glue. This looks like a picture lifted from a really good tutorial, good thing it’s link above and you can find out all about this project there.

Being good and getting my Deutsch homework done first before playing with my crafting.
Focused on a black cup of coffee next to an open German language workbook. All of this sits on what is obviously a craft table - large purple cutting mat, various glue bottles in the background and what might be yarn and a emery board directly around the cup area. Yup, small spaces serving 2 masters.

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!

Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.
Stock of Spotify over last month showing sharp decline, from near $700 in value to $615.

Several pictures. One of a piece of cardboard stripped to the coorugation and being rubbed clean with a coffee stirrer, sitting on a brown piece of craft paper with a tube of brown paint near by. Another with the corrugation painted a yellowish brown, brown, white and unpainted. Then 2 smaller pictures - 1 of blob of white paint, smaller dot of tan and some dirty reddish brown tinted water (from a paint brush cleaning jar at hand). then a shot of the mixed colour which is an exciting dark mustard tan. And the thrills are just beginning - subscribe :-P a bright pumpkin orange fairy door propped up against a wall papered in a greeny-blue wallpaper with a leaf motif. The floor is cardboard and next to the door is a piece of cardboard with several small twigs clipped to it by 2 purple clips holding another strip of cardboard to keep the twigs upright. If you want a clue as to why this is happening, spoilers, I explain it in my substack.

Miniature Fairy room in process of being constructed. Carboard walls are visiable with some scrapbook paper up against the walls and a stone fireplace against the back wall. A bare plank door with cardboard frame is being held up against the wall with a toothpick and clip at the top. A dark wood step is directly in front of the door. And in the center of the room is a bright yellow, red and brown braided rug.

Last night, the National Guard chased children who were out enjoying Halloween in Navy Yard.

There is no valid reason for armed soldiers to terrorize children like this. End Trump’s occupation of DC. National Guard out NOW.

Little things count! A smile, a kind word, a little helping hand. Opening the window today to catch some of the fresh Autumn air these little pine cones greeted me. Today's #BeautifulThings right under my nose. Wishing you calm amidst the storm.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

White block over the main portion of a painting of a round faced woman with flowers in her hair and large pearl drop earring and a thin gold chain acroos her forehead set with a green gem, obviously some Renaissance painting. In the block in black letters read, "Why does everyone force introverts to leave their comfort zone, but no one forces extrovert to shut up for a while?"

Team Newsom @governor.ca.gov is taking bold, concrete steps to reduce dependence on a chaotic federal health landscape.

California is now producing its own insulin through CalRx, an innovative and timely model that leverages their purchasing power to reduce healthcare costs for Californians.
