IMPEACH DAMMIT

Bobbin lace training pieces with two kinds of stitches, held on to a green card with numerous pins

The very beginning of the training. 5 pairs of bobbins wrapped with cotton thread are draped over 5 pins at the top of a pattern card, which is partially hidden by a purple cloth.

Today's adventure: learning to make bobbin lace! So far, so good, although bobbin management is likely to be my biggest issue.

I'm not hearing our governor speak out like Pritzker and Newsome. That's disappointing, he's leaving office and has nothing to lose.

Tudor hats. Some assembly required. 🪡👒

On a drying rack, two Elizabethan ruffs on the top, with shorter matching cuffs below. A fan on the bottom rungs circulates air to help dry them.

Let the Great Starching commence. Six commissioned pieces, two ruffs, four cuffs, with the customer's chosen lace. Now to wash, starch, dry, and iron.

So Reagan actually did one good thing.

I had to demonstrate for my only-child ex what it was like to travel with siblings. "He's touching me!" "She's looking out my window!" "He won't stop looking at me!" "She stuck her tongue out at me!" "He farted at me!" "I need to throw up!"

I wash my hands before touching fabric or yarn because years from now the oils and schmutz on your hands will show up on that framed embroidery
