I’m teaching my granddaughters (5 & 8) paper piecing. I cut, they sew. When we finished the sections, they got time on their tablets while I had a stiff gin and bitter lemon. We finished them in one day, (not recommended) and only broke one sewing machine! #uplift #fabricart, #quilting

@liberalca.bsky.social Canadians voted Mr. Mark Carney as our New Prime Minister to keep Pierre P out of power. Millions of us feel he is a threat to our country. It is imperative should he gain a seat that a bill be passed that ALL MP's have Top Secret Clearance. It has to be mandatory.

Had an amazing time at the Young Authors Conference in Kamloops! In my workshop, students crafted spells and stamped them with seals. (Because one of my educational principles is that nothing makes writing more fun than playing with fire!) 🔥🔥🔥

@jandersoncoats.bsky.social @simonkids.bsky.social THE UNEXPECTED LIVES OF ORDINARY GIRLS (9/23/25) is a great adventure book that involves living briefly in a library. Really enjoyed this one and think fans of Albus' A Place to Hang the Moon will, too!

I love how journos challenge Carney on money matters like he isn't one of the most accomplished people in this field. It's borderline comical that they try to correct him, I mean I get it, but it's like telling Celine Dion how to sing. #cdnpoli

Before Xmas, my granddaughter designed a dress for me to make for her. Last visit, she picked out the fabric I should use. It's finished just in time for her 5th birthday next week.

Some authors reach that place where the release of their books is an event.

My mom’s white old lady friends were all talking about going to the rallies today and how it was important that they go because they were less likely to get arrested (and even if they did they were old so they wouldn’t have to spend long in prison).
