I am a vintage sewing pattern nerd and love geeking out with fellow sewing people. But never did I think that there would be a conference dedicated to people just like me! But as of last weekend: THERE IS and it was AMAZING! I went to the first EVER PatternCon youtu.be/RZ4kNwsF8Jc

You ever just have a moment where you pause your thinking to legit wonder if we’re going to survive this current administration? I do. And I have extreme feelings of guilt for having kids amidst this.

Adding a journalist to a top secret government group chat about dropping bombs *IS* the kind of thing people who aren’t super politically literate can understand and find shocking/notable/disqualifying. Dems should seize on this and never ever let it go. I hope to hear about it in a decade

I hate feeling subpar. Between all the travel, jet lag, peopling, working, and not being able to rest as needed, my body is over here lollygagging on healing. After coaching my son’s soccer game, I came home and slept 3 hours. Woke up for 3 hours and went back to sleep for 9 more hours.

One of the things that people need to talk about more is how thankless teaching at conferences can be.

At the airport heading to Seattle to teach at Sew Expo. This morning I was notified that all of my patterns have been delayed when means a monetary loss for me as well as an increase in stress. What makes me more mad is because Sew Expo doesn’t have a place we can ship things to so I had to delay

Friends, may I point you at these #ebook bundles? We could use some sales just now. 🙂 And if you’re not interested, might I ask you to reskeet this so that others who might be interested can see? Thanks! ❤️ www.tumblr.com/dduane/77511... #ebooksky #booksky

Just mentioning again...

...that all the prices on our Ebooks Direct ebook bundles are still holding at Black Friday levels (pretty much 50% off, and in some cases more...), because frankly I think everybody can use a little…

With everything that’s happened and is happening this year I feel simultaneously numb and outraged. I have things to say but they won’t come out. I want to be happy, feel safe, help others, and create.

I’m hearing from constituents whose jobs are at risk because they do agency outreach to minority communities. Consider what this means for public health, national security, agriculture and justice. The war on DEI has become a war on public service and government for all.

Creativity is like a houseplant, not an endless well. You need to seek out sunlight, water, and nutrients in art, shows, music, experiences, and more to tend to it. And just like plants it has its dormant and active periods and you may not seem improvement for some time.

I love designing sewing patterns. I hate organizing the patterns for testing lol. All the little details and things drive my big picture brain batty. I just finished drafting a rugby and polo based on a men’s block and now it’s time to prep it. My focus is out the window but I’ve got to buckle down.

One of the things i also struggle with is sharing how I’m feeling on public platforms. I don’t want to be angry. I don’t want to be sad. Some days I wish for the privilege of blissful ignorance.

Last night I had a minor meltdown after reading about some of the things Voldemort is already trying to do with the help of BV and Musty. I’m working on keeping the breakdowns minor instead of completely spiraling. Thank God i married the man I did.

This notion that Voldemort “saved” TT after he was the reason for the ban is wild. TT has been tainted. And now IG is launching their version of CapCut. Someone wake me up when it’s time to vote again.
