I did get out of town last weekend and have my first drink in MONTHS and started to remember why I stopped drinking. Oh well. It was a really, really good weekend with Alma pals. ❤️

The feral scream I screamed when I saw the HUD website this morning. What in the petty shit IS that.
A reminder that America continues to be in a housing crisis and this shutdown will likely mean that MORE people will not be able to pay their mortgage/rent/bills. This division doesn't help people.

Both kiddo and I went to the dentist today. Only one of us got a prize. Once again, I am asking for a prize for adults who REALLY hate going to the dentist.

Grey Saturday afternoon here, so I am changing the color palette to brighten my mood. Picked up @badstitch.bsky.social 's Candypop Humpback Whale #wip and put in a few stitches. 🌈

I'm catching up on @finefrogstitching.com 's Twigs and Tea framing, and I am absolutely loving the fall colors. All I want is a chilly, rainy day and to be cozy on my couch.

Anyway, I did finish my #frogustSAL. Shout out to @sproutinglupine.bsky.social for the pattern which I really enjoyed. It needs a press and a good frame but I love this piece.

In the wake of world chaos, I'm trying to focus on things that gave me joy.
Today:
- Haircut + "tattoo" for kiddo (see below)
- Successful Costco run
- Long nap
- Good book
- Mallards no-hitter game with friends.
Good, solid Saturday.

Took a quilting class tonight and for three hours I was able to forget about the BS in the world and clear my head.
Art helps. Enjoy my tiny quilting squares.

Mother's Day is not always my favorite holiday as a mom, but I do love the questionnaires that come from daycare at this time of year.
He's right - I love to eat chicken wings.

5,100 stitches and one finish later...orts, orts, orts! My orts (leftover thread) from projects go into a glass box - makes for cool art. What about you?

Ok, back to stitch talk. Threadpoetic on insta recently won my heart with these TBS patterns that bring me back to 2003. The "Literate and Stylish" is totally going on my cube.

It brings me such joy to watch Gobo play with Spirit. We adopted Spirit a year after losing my sweet black cat, Leko. Gobo was so sad and didn't engage much during that year. I adopted Spirit on a whim and she's been such a great fit. Feels like she brought Gobo back to life. ❤️
