The Library Faery Says Read More Books!

Friend Dog is being a very good girl and is allowed out front of the house if two humans are there - she doesn't always respond to the normal commands of "back inside" when out front.

And she has earned back field time off leash as well - she goes no further than the others.

Good progress!

Friend Dog has not learned her lesson - the other morning I caught her standing on the porch, trying to catch bees pollenating in the hibiscus.

I told her "Did you not learn your lesson? Do you want to get stung again?"

I guess the answer is yes, cause she went right back to it.

Not a joke. They have since been returned.

Thank you!

Yeah, got it planned out.

I just not happy with the hand, and then another idea popped into my head.

And here's how I made the hand - don't worry, it will get used elsewhere- probably for my "Halloween Shop" in a jar, or on a meat tray, all plastic wrapped like the heart I did a few years ago.

That tube was too long, so I used two toilet paper tubes I cut and taped and wrapped around each other.

Pieces parts part three- the book!

I forgot to finish the spine, so that needs to be done. And I need to put something on the inside of the book - some mock script embroidered on- maybe elvish?

Pieces parts of the final - part 2

What will be the table for it all.

The doily.

The soot sprites.

There's another dragon underway, I need to finish the small parts on him, and consider wings for both.

Pieces parts of the final - part one:

The hand I spent days on - and won't be using. (I'll be taking the globe back off it.)

The bottles.

Nothing like doing a planned tableau for your county fair entry and realizing you don't like the piece you made, so almost last minute changes that use parts you already had made.

Weee!

The flooding isn't important to them - not in the least.

We saw it here in WNC and ETN - only certain politicians actually gave a crap, and most of them were on the local or district level.

State and Federal level? It was this:

Totally.

Round embroidery piece in a hoop, blue and gold stars around the perimeter. Text reads: "I can do all things through evidence based best practice whicH strengthens me. Peer Review 24:7"

Looks like he escaped his handlers.

I'm waiting for cryptids and kaiju shopping in the same stores as me normal.

I'm here for that.

Ahahahahahahaha!!!!

Interestingly enough, I only felt one of them being pulled out - and it was a minor twinge.

And my eye was MUCH better by afternoon.

The news has made me so very tired.

I'm going back to crocheting.

existentialmemes Back in the day, the internet screamed when you went online. It doesn't anymore, because the modern internet runs on OUR screams instead.

Ever had eyelashes plucked out?

I had to have that done this morning - but now I can see without pain anymore.

It's awesome.

My armature wire is missing, so making do with wire doubled, and doubled again.

No smoke that I'm smelling. Doesn't mean it's not in the area, just that I'm not smelling it.

You went to school with him then to have all this insight? College maybe?

If not - how do you know better than his former classmates?

The League of Gentlewoman Witches by India Holt.

Need a quick, fun, witty read? Pirates being witchy, witches being piratey, all within the confines of Victorian society and a story of love, of finding freedom, of becoming yourself.

I may be going a bit too deep here, and I'm not one for the romance type normally, but the writing is grand. 💙📚

No, he was a bully. His former classmates and schools say so. Are a lot of bullies also losers? Yep.

He can be both.

I know it's climate change, but I will take this 72 degree day, open all the windows I can, because I'm not heartbroken about the 25 degree drop in temps.

Apparently it was 48 in Mitchell, NC this morning.

Enjoy the few days of cool while we have it.

Oh lordie - bye.

Not many people do - and when they do, even today, they're the ones who get in trouble - school wise or law wise.

Truly messed up system and I'm lucky I had good adults standing up for me when I did it (though one wasn't technically a punch -it was crushed fingers in a FAFO on their part.) 1970s.

I meant the first guy.

And it's much too early in the month for this.

Apologists will always have jobs.
