Sir Ian McKellen orates 'The Stranger's Case' from 'Sir Thomas More' by Shakespeare about the Evil May Day xenophobic riot of 1517 in London. This passage was written 400 years ago, but times never change. Humanity refuses to change its unwarranted bias against 'others'.

Please send all the good thoughts to this dear little boy today. He's been ill for months and today he had to have his gallbladder removed before it could rupture. Recovery is long and risky, and we'll need all the luck we can get. He's the sweetest little soul I've ever known. #sickpet #dog

Good morning, Bluesky! Hallelujah, we made it to Friday. This weekend I'm going to putz in my garden, bake cherry oatmeal cookies, and completely ignore my adult responsibilities. #gardening

We made it to Thursday, everybody! It's all just exhausting, but here's some good news: little Finny has been sick for a while and has had a pretty hard time of it, but today was a good day and he ate all his food and he's feeling perky. He'd like you to know he's a very good boy. ❤️

Saturday morning bread baking. The loaf on the left is plain sourdough. The one on the right is the Carrot Cake Sourdough recipe from Pantry Mama. (It's absolutely amazing! soooo delicious) My house smells incredible! #breadsky

Two loaves of freshly baked bread. One is plain sourdough, and the other is Carrot Cake Sourdough made with raisins, freshly shredded carrot, chopped walnuts, and some maple syrup.

Since leaving my quilt industry job in late Dec, I've been throwing away work-related projects and finally quilting my own stuff. (MIRACLE!) This is what's been getting me thru the ICE occupation. Here's a tablerunner that I pieced 15-ish years ago but never had time to finish. #quilt #craft

Quilted tablerunner in autumnal colors of red, orange, gold, and brown. Heavily quilted for maximum durability and dimension. This tablerunner will be used in late fall, between Halloween and Christmas.

Just finished up this quilt to donate to a local Minnesota organization that is protesting a data center that the city wants to build right smack in the middle of a neighborhood. I hope they can raffle it off for a nice chunk of money to help their cause. NO DATA CENTER! #quiltsky #craftsky

Last week, I returned to London for a visit, ignored everything Trump, and felt SO MUCH better. I need to keep doing that. I need to remember who I was before this madness descended on us and everything turned dark. Here is a piece of my work. I hope it brightens your day. #quiltsky #craftsky

Currently 2 tree skirts loaded on my longarm. I've been rolling back and forth stitching with red thread, then green, and now gold. I never get tired of watching the quilting slowly transform the quilt. Just look at those burgundy strips before and after the gold threadwork! #quiltsky

I took a mental health break from the utterly depressing news and made some Christmas Jam. It's the perfect condiment for leftover turkey sammies. Isn't the color gorgeous? #Canning

I simply can not bear another minute of the news today, so I'm spending the weekend canning and sewing. I truly hope that you'll be able to find something to do today that brings you a few moments of joy and relief from this flaming trainwreck. Behold! Carrot and daikon radish pickles.

This week's canning projects were all about the cherries: 3 pints of Danish cherry sauce and 3 quarts and 5 pints of delicious cherry pie filling all topped off with 4 pints of green beans from my bean plants that are just starting to produce. I LOVE putting homemade food on the shelf! #canningsky

First loaf out of the new oven with Bread Proofing option. The proof temp was 15 degrees warmer than my usual temp, so I overproofed the hell out of it and then burned the bottom while baking because it bakes way hotter, but I'm pretty darn happy with this crumb! #breadsky #bakesky

Opinions, please? My plan: 1" wide white border, then a 2"wide purple border, then another white border. How wide should that final border be? The quilt will be 95"wide after that purple border and I only want this to be a queen sz so I can't get too carried away. Blocks are 14" #quiltsky

Yesterday, I used 8 eggs to make egg salad sandwiches for our lunch. It felt so extravagant, like I was splurging on some really overboard thing. It was eggs. 8 eggs. And I felt guilty about making such an expensive lunch. What the actual star spangled f**k are we supposed to even do with this??
