Let's get drunk and sew things. Stage 3. #sewing #art #AllTheDaysRunTogether
Multimedia fabric art, cut out and sewn letters and paint marker: "Fuck you guys. Imma be happy anyways." And a happy pink hippo swimming in a fluorescent pink world with his green bird friend.

A beer sits on three dark fabrics sewn together next to a sewing machine. There is nothing here but the potential of rapid self expression.

Spinning fibers in the sun on this nearly-autumn Sunday afternoon. Lovely. What will this yarn be? Who cares. That's not the point.
Blue fibers being spun into yarn on a wooden spinning wheel.

Muaah-hahahahhh! Cackles of middle-aged lady gardening glee echo across the garden center parking lot, startling pigeons and Eastern Kingbird far and wide.
The back hatch of a Subaru is open to reveal so many flowering plants that the rear window will surely be impaired.

Samesies! Got my reading glasses repaired today, woot! Cat has found better things to do already. He knows the end of the story I guess.
Orange and white cat sits on a book opened flat on my lap. Old Bones by Preston and Child, which are always rollicking good Saturday Whodunits.

Nice surprise! I'm writing out some postcards and the art for this one is by @iriscompiet.art . (The collection is Magic the Gathering artwork.)
Postcards in process of being addressed and stamped. The art of excitement here is a tree-like figure taking a protective stance. Art is titled "Titania, protector of Argoth"

Finished, I think. Two small quilts for two siblings. May they remain friends their whole lives.
Embroidered name "Teddy" A patchwork of blue and green moth with owl's eyes. Embroidered name Elllie on turquoise and dark gray fabric. Two small quilts, made up of square patches of striped or polka-dotted fabric in bright colors. Quilts are embellished with hand stitching and appliqué pieces cut from fabrics which feature animals.

Tower of Power clematis blooms.
A six or seven foot tower of hot purple clematis blooms. So many blooms they over-lap and obscure the leaves of the plant.

Starting a new gothic horror book. Blood on Her Tongue by Johanna Van Veen. There are bog bodies involved.
Photo of the trade paperback. It's a dark cover with lush red flowers and a white dog, the title in white gothic-like font.

Picked up my Penzey's Spices "Resist!" t-shirt today and there is a lovely thought printed inside I want to share: "Kindness can't sit down simply because anger has stood up."
Blue t-shirt with the quote above printed in yellow lettering, inside the back collar like a secret good thought to hold in your heart.

Pride hearts! Very easy to make from scraps. (Can't speak for the Boss Cat tho.) If I can advise on making these or make & mail one to you, please say so. #IntrovertsResist
Purple, blue, green, yellow, orange and red stripes of scrap fabric shaped into a heart. A black and white cat drapes his bad ass self across all of this goodness because he is the Boss, of course.

Lets get drunk and sew things. This will be a lap quilt when it is done. I can send to anyone, please let me know if you would like it.
Crazy patchwork of quilting in progress. Pinks, turquoise, stripes and some dinosaurs.

Good morning.
A bluebird has taken refuge from a very busy feeder by hanging on to the window screen. He is looking directly at the viewer, just as surprised as you are.

Grassroots, nonpermanent, nondestructive protest graffiti spotted on my lunchtime walk today.
A large address label colored with bright highlighters, and in sharpie are the words "No Kings in America!"
