Q

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

Cross stitch of a Giant Squid. Squid is in shades of orange. The two longest tentacles are held up in a semicircle while the rest dangle below. There is some white detailing on the ends of the longest tentacles and top of the fins. Stitched on navy blue Aida fabric.

I can't doodle worth a darn but I can cross stitch! I finished this earlier this year. Pattern from London's Natural History Museum: www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/cro...

Getting chills, why not add on some yard work and walk on over to watch the marathon while I'm at it?

Donated blood Friday, covid and flu shot Saturday, weaving with 6-year-olds Sunday. Pray for Mojo.

Planning to try Sober October.

You know what this means!!!
Drinking it up tonight!!!

I am enjoying both weaving with them and weaving some of it by myself, as their attention spans aren't *that* great.

It is so fun to listen to them chatter as they weave!

A scarf warped on a rigid heddle loom in a black and white check.

A scarf warped on a rigid heddle loom with a green and yellow warp and a yellow and dusky orange weft. The yellow yarn is also sparkly!

The neighbor's kids are interested in weaving so we are making them scarves together. These kids have awesome ideas for colors! And pretty good patience for 6-year-olds!

Yup, that's most of western Nebraska for ya.

We spent the whole time yelling at the TV - That's not a flapjack. What the hell are they making!?

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

Absolutely stunning!

Absolutely!

They lasted about 75 minutes. We warped the loom and wove about 4". Pretty good for 6 year olds!

Look at this cozy bitch.

A piece of paper titled 'Needlecraft Scorecard'. Categories include Beauty and Character, Color, Design, Condition, Materials Used and Workmanship. Each section has a typed score possible and a handwritten score given. Some sections have tiny handwritten notes. The final total is 95 out of 100 possible points.

My state fair submission is back home - with a red ribbon and a score of 95/100!

It's something all right. 😂

Currently watching An American Werewolf in Paris.

I considered the original, but them i decided to debase myself.

After this last market, I think I will be taking a break. I have my commissions, I have my pet project ideas, and it's becoming obvious that what I like making, people don't like buying. 🤷

The neighbors' kids have become interested in looms and weaving.

*cracks knuckles* It's my time to shine. 🪢

Three small cross stitch hoops with white, red, green, and black Palestinian flag themes. The patterns for each are inspired by the Palestinian embroidery style, tatreez. The text of the three hoops read: "Free Gaza Feed Gaza", "End the genocide in Gaza", and "Free Gaza".

Gearing up to piss people off at an art fair this weekend!

A very comfy red pup lying on her back on a bed, all four paws in the air, belly on display, looking very contentedly at the camera.

I think this comfy girl is glad we are home.

Not too bad so far. 🤷

Not too bad, had cough, fever, body aches. Paxlovid is helping a lot but I'm not sure it's worth the metallic taste!

Whomp, whomp, spoke too soon.

Nope, still negative, just your basic crud. 🤷
