I'll have a couple of tapestries in this show. I must confess that I did not know that the theme was "Red." Whoops. The Continental Club is on South Elm St., Greensboro, NC, USA. just south of the Gate City Blvd intersection.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Wildacres Retreat Sept. 29-Oct. 5
Here's a view that I haven't seen before, possibly due to tree losses from Hurricane Helene last year. I think that it is Table Rock. This was the third year that I've attended Edwina Bringle's fiber art retreat at Wildacres Retreat near Little Switzerland, NC.…

This was the third year that I've attended Edwina Bringle's fiber art retreat at Wildacres Retreat near Little Switzerland, NC. I've fallen in love with this area (and Edwina). It broke my heart when Hurricane Helene devastated so much here last year just after I left.

Oh yes and he speaks entirely in burps.
So.

I know the real concern is the lack of journalistic integrity but I think the real crime here is seeing this face and thinking to yourself "yes I need more of that" His eyes don't even line up. This is a clear case of royals inbreeding

My mother was one swell looking dame. I think she was around 18 yo here. She would have been 102 yo today. There was a time when I thought she might make it to 100+ years old. She was tough as nails and an outrageous flirt. If Betty White had been a religious Southern Baptist...that's Mama.

This week I have been doing finishing work on the tapestries I cut off and I began this one. I'm playing with the colors and light outlining. It will probably be a sample. I've been working on this abstracted design of a train platform in Edinburghfor nearly a year now. #tapestry #weaving #handwoven
