Today is Juneteenth, the day we celebrate the end to slavery. At a time when racism is stronger than ever, diversity and inclusion are outlawed, brown people are being disappeared, and trans people are being persecuted, we must stand for freedom for all! Black lives do and will always matter!

Blooming violets. I think this is a sign of light in the world.

There's another big nationwide day of protest on April 19! This is so critical. If we don't stop him now, Trump could implement the Insurrection Act, which will allow him to use the US military against US citizens. This attack on our constitution must stop now, and only the people can stop him!

69M married women could lose their voting rights if the SAVE Act is passed. Transgender individuals too.

Why? Absent a valid passport, you must present a birth certificate *with the same name as your registration* to be registered.

This is insane!

So proud of our little community of Ocean Shores, Washington, where hundreds came out to fight for our democracy.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!

THIS is what each of us can do to make our voices heard!

First garment I've made in 20 years. A Grateful Dead shirt for my hubby. All finished except the buttons. #sewsky

Almost finished. Haven't done button holes in 20 years, but my new machine says it does them automatically. We'll see. #sewsky

Making progress. We have pockets and tucks. #sewsky

Started making a Hawaiian style shirt for my hubby out of this awesome Grateful Dead fabric. Haven't made a garment in over 20 years, but it's coming back, slowly.

My friend has a program that distributes feminine hygiene products to women in need. I made these zipper bags for the supplies. Used scraps and fabrics I had from other projects. #sewsky

I ordered some fabric online and all the packing materials were old patterns, including instructions and even the envelopes. Being OCD I had to flatten and sort all the pieces. I have a whole set for pants and two tops, AND THEY'RE IN MY SIZE. What a fun prize!
