What I had to resort to in order to keep the trash cans from blowing away the past two days.

She likes her new no squeaker no stuffing duck. No more squeakers for this baby!

Won thread chicken yay! Patterned this dress off the one I bought from Linen Garb at Pennsic this past year. Super easy to make.

BREAKING Republicans are trying to stop 69 million women from voting. This week, House Republicans introduced a bill that would disenfranchise women who changed their last name after getting married. They want to control women. Source: CAP, *The SAVE Act Would Dise franchise Millions of Citizens* (2025). Photos: Getty Images.

Here we go AGAIN 🤬

The SAVE Act would make it harder for millions of Americans to cast a ballot, this includes women who changed their name after marriage.

We must spread the word to protect our democracy.

So pretty!

Bowls

New feast gear purchased at Birka. The brown plate has a bee on it and Oli loves bees so that one is for Oli

Soaking it in water worked but I will remember this for future

Really, I do not need a headache tonight!! It better be gone by tomorrow!

I used the pockets pattern piece from the dress pattern to add the pockets to the pants.

It worked!!

Arg, earlier today I got a tiny splinter in my foot. I've tried unsuccessfully off and on all day to get it out and it refuses. It's really painful. I can't coax it out by pushing and can't even get it out far enough to grab it with a tweezer to pull it out. Arg, what else can I try?

Thank you!

Since Friday I sewed myself a new dress and Oli a new pair of pants (which I had to try on lol).

Stockings are up! We are running out of space lol. More gifts wrapped and under the tree! Fred the Elf made an appearance with his reindeer.

All but 2 large presents that have come are wrapped and under the tree :-).

Tree is up, Die Hard has been watched. The Christmas Season can now begin. I am way behind in wrapping though. I need to get started on that! I hate having a naked tree with no presents under it for very long.

Someone is completely conked out!

Table is set for tomorrow

Couple more since it apparently only allowed 4 at a time.

Had a great time at 100 minutes war on Saturday. Many amazing photographers got in the thick of things and got many amazing pictures. These were taken by Joshua Feldman, Dayna Tarabar and Nichole Pelletiere.

Adding some button holes to my fighting pants for my knee straps to go through. Hoping it will help keep them from sliding down.
