Back to it tomorrow.
Hurrah.

My first buttonholes of the semester. We will see what feedback I get. I'd guess I'm still using too much tension, and regulating it poorly on the eye.
2 down, 20 to go.

As companies shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation.
Also remember that average profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs.

Remembering today that Chaplin self-funded The Great Dictator because the studios were too afraid of taking sides when there were so many Nazi sympathizers in the States that they didn’t want to alienate

I spent my energy today doing things in balcony garden.
My aloe (Big Mama, Little Mama, and Baby) got thinned out, and I repotted Big Mama, Who has given me blooms 4 years in a row, and who I grew from a 4" ikea plant.
Of the plants pictured, I purchased only 3. The rest I grew from cuttings.

I've made 3 variations for my bodice sloper.
Both back and front.
And now I am going to attempt some weird diagonal pattern matching on my next smock-dress.
Probably less smock and more jumper?
Yes. That is the shape of dart that fits my bust.
Wheeee!!!!

If you're teetering on the edge between needing escapism and wanting to feel engaged, might I reccommend 2 books for you in these trying times.
The Free People's Village - Sim Kern @simkern.bsky.social
Blood Over Bright Haven - M. L. Wang
Both deal with resistance in unique ways.
