If it stays still I will sew it, knit it, or paint it. Just for starters. I am fighting with all I have to see democracy last a few more years here. In the PNW. I am Me, wife, mom, grandma. The older I get, the liberaler I be.

The quality of a diner is directly related to the amount of wear on the Formica.

We have been “deaccessioning” as we get into our 70’s. We were always the keepers of the old and interesting in our family, and with kids overseas and far away, it’s time to take things to to the local cancer thrift store. Today it was a gorgeous 98 year old comforter, perfect shape, burgundy 1/

🧵 #art #artsky #sketching #drawing #penandink I rediscovered some sketches I did forty-odd years ago when my boys were little. They are not great art, but they capture the spirit of that time for me. I was a better artist that I gave myself credit for. 1/ Sleeping toddler

In Star Trek people often complain that replicated food is not as good as naturally produced food, which is weird when replicators are presumably using the same technology as transporters, which can perfectly replicate Spock every time. But is Spock getting less flavoursome over time? In this essay,

I have been researching Canadian Citizenship by Descent for myself, my two children, and my two grandchildren. I've been at this since March. Tonight I found what I think is the last link in a long chain of documents stretching back to the mid 1800's. Whew! And thank you, Canada! What a gift.

#buttons #vintage #sewing 🪡🧵🧶 LOOK AT THESE BUTTONS!! I ordered these vintage MOP buttons from Pushing My Buttons SWFL on Etsy, and they are the bomb! Look at how lovely the cream ones will be on my checked blouse. Zooooom in to look at the kimono’d ladies on the button card. Well priced, too!
Two vintage button cards with a dozen mother of pearl buttons on each. One looks to be from the 1920’s, with an illustration of two ladies in kimonos on either side of cream buttons. The dark grey buttons are on a cream card with a fancy gold border and lettering.

#art #painting 🎨 Finally got my flower babies up on the wall. My first crack at oils paints. They are fun! My teacher about had a fainting spell when I said about the first (red) one: “What this really needs is polka dots”. And then that one needed friends🤷‍♀️ Ah, the artistic process. 😂🖌️👩‍🎨
Four 11x14 oil paintings of bright stylized flowers. The leaves are flowy and somewhat abstract. The background is all tiny polka dots on black.

I needed to trim the kraft paper off the back of some paintings I’d framed, so I got out a brand new disposable surgeons scalpel (the kind I use for crafting) “It will be sharp” I said. “It will cut clean” I said. It is. It did. No wonder it’s ‘surgeon recommended’.” 🔪👆🩸🩹 😵😖😳😭

Yesterday we had two HUGE bottles of whisky misdelivered by Amazon Fresh. I guess someone was getting ahead of the tariffs. 😂 The sad part is they probably got our bottles of Gold Leaf Iced Tea instead. 😂😂

Verify your age: I remember my dad and brother coming back from the store with big boxes of staple foods the night of the Cuban missle crisis. We had that 5 gallon tin jug of Wesson oil FOREVER. I later found his packing list for nuclear evacuation, down to how many pairs of socks we each got.
