Cutie QQ

The bulk of my life can be summed up with these few simple words, "Where did that thing go? I just had it!"

REUNITED! Huzzah!

He is ravenous and thirsty, has the runs, I picked some tics off of him etc., he’s not in super shape, but he’s well socialized, has some training and marginal leash skills. FWIW my dogs are up to date on all their monthly parasite meds.

He played with my dogs well, I got a leash on him, walked him down 10th to GPHS and back up to Savage asking along the way if he looked familiar. It was too late to get him scanned. I’m about to file a found dog report with county, post to Next Door, FB etc.

Grants Pass OR, is this your dog? Hims a big boi! First seen running around Lincoln elementary track, then found his way through to Memorial Dr. and to Croxton Park. After a good effort to find his folks he’s safe in my back yard. DM if you recognize him.

I’m slightly disappointed the characterization of Murderbot is masq presenting, I’ve always read it as more androgynous, and that’s part of what made the books so enjoyable for me.

PEOPLE OF THE WORLD!! The Murderbot Diaries has become a tv show, Murderbot, on Apple TV, coming May 6.

The Murderbot Diaries has been 1 of my 2 favorite sci-fi series of all time.

You know you live in a small town when: I have had a magnetic dog waste holder stuck to my car’s rear hatch for 2 yrs - my city brain marvels at its longevity.

It totally worked!

Quilters!!! Is it possible (if then how) to block a quilt top before it gets quilted? If yes, then will it un-block if it’s washed? I’m not interested in picking apart the upper green section of this WIP temperature quilt. #quiltsky

I love love love your sold on offer model, and I truly hope it works well for you. I’ve been thinking about how to go about selling my work, and your approach piques my interest.

My alarm clock is set with this song. Hearing it every morning has gotten me through some very dark times.

I don't know if it's me, or etsy, but so far this year my sales are waaaay down. For the last three years I've almost been able to support myself (and the business), from etsy sales; this year though, I can't to go grocery shopping with my monthly take. The difference is devastating.

It was a trial for sure.

* Dump and run is what I call it when he poops, and while I’m busy picking it up, he takes off for some shenanigans.

Maynard the Great, Illusionist and Stunt Performer, pulled the ol “dump and run*” jumping the fence and bolting from an off-leash dog park we visited on a road trip 300 miles from home. I had not planned on running hurdles before lunch, but Ziggy Daredevil Circus Dog kept up and we caught him. 🧵

It's been a thousand years since I've had the kind of space I want/need to make the kinds of artwork I like to make. I've been oozing through this house trying to settle in and find my rhythm. The last year has seen a lot of personal growth and determination, and it's starting to feel really good.

Real question: I have to be away from the house for 10 hrs today (long drive, short appt, long drive). Do I leave my dogs home, or take them with? Is 10 hrs too much? I’ve never left them longer than an hr. They’re big, and have access to yard.

Why don’t we have self dusting houses by now?

For some reason tiktok can't seem to validate my ID.

Shorts and flip-flops forever!

I'm feeling the need to consolidate my web presence; I have an etsy shop (easy but I hate it), personal site for Art (cargo, I hate it), a free blog (patreon, I hate it), IG (love/hate). What platform are creatives using to show/tell/sell their work? I'm small fry, don't want enterprise solutions.

Those are very fancy!

#quiltsky, What are your favorite thimbles and any other must have hand quilting tools? I'm using a thimble I got in the early 90's (there's something in that all by itself), it was the only one available on the island I lived on at the time and I've just stuck with it, and I don't love it.

One day with dogs. Muddy feet, a filtched stick of butter, (I found it outside), and Maynard warming his cold wet feet in my comfy bed.

Coeur d’Alene prosecutors dismiss citation against woman dragged from town hall, city revokes security company’s business license City prosecutors will dismiss a misdemeanor battery citation issued to the Post Falls woman who plainclothes private security guards dragged out of a legislative town hall Saturday and the city of Coe...

Huh, turns out you can't have private UNIDENTIFIED security assault and kidnap people because you don't like what they say at city hall

Weird.

Hi, here’s a cute dog wearing a shirt (so he doesn’t absorb rain like a sponge), he hates it.

…carry on…

After many years of accumulation, I stopped buying pencils in 2014, and I’m delighted to report that I have finally gotten down to my last pencil.

For the sake of curiosity, has anyone from Santa Fe NM made a temperature quilt? Show and tell pretty please.

This morning with animals.
