Spring is the perfect time to get out of a sewing slump if you’re in one (like me). Can’t wait to do this challenge again! #MarchThroughYourStash2026

Voted in my first primary election! Woo!

I’ve been stuck at home the last 5 days with a bad case of the flu. Had to miss almost a full week of work, but managed to read this amazing book so not all is lost. #booksky

Outside of Texas most people aren’t aware of the environmental destruction SpaceX is causing to irreplaceable wetlands.

Texas health officials uncovered high rates of cancer east of Houston. But they won't release key data. Residents wonder if the state is hiding something. #EnvironmentalJustice From @pubhealthwatch.bsky.social publichealthwatch.org/2025/10/09/t...

every woman in bad bunny’s halftime show is casually the most beautiful woman you’ve ever seen

I’m sorry, the grass were PEOPLE?!

Favorite Super Bowl performance ever. The set. Cardi. Pedro. Gaga! Ricky! I love Bad Bunny, that was so beautiful! 😭 I will be rewatching to find all the details I missed!

Happy Bad Bunny Bowl day to all who celebrate

I see this shit and am immediately so angry we have John fucking Whitmire as the mayor of Houston.

we are not aliens

Philadelphia sheriff Rochelle Bilal: “No law enforcement professional wears a mask…No law enforcement professional shoots at a moving vehicle. “What Trump’s private army is doing…is not only against legal law, but moral law.” Vows to arrest agents on site who commit crimes.

The world is falling apart and I’m angry but there’s also a continuously growing memorial at work for a roach that died a month ago and no one has cleaned up. Today he got a coffin:

I will say my long time hatred for Nicki Minaj has been proven right.

This exhibit in Houston’s Rothko Chapel featuring excerpts from the newly released Epstein files is quite stunning.

“I miss blockbuster video” the library has every dvd totally untouched and I never see you there

Went on StoryGraph to track my recent reading and realized that I had stopped reading around the time I started my new job. Which is also when I hit my sewing slump. Anyway, I’ve been busy and tired, but I’m finding my hobbies again!

Jennifer Welch: “The Republican Party has done such a good job propagandizing that if you need anything from the government, you’re a lazy piece of shit and a moocher, when really the parasites in this country are the billionaires.”

I hate it here 🥲

If the experience of living through 2025 was a dog.

Wow there is some real labubu haters on this app. Not everything is for everybody. Take a deep breath. It’s okay!

My fellow Texas Democrats and I broke quorum to shine a national spotlight on Trump’s redistricting power grab. We inspired other states and millions of Americans to join the fight. Moments ago a federal court struck down his rigged map. This is why we fight back.

first time voting, felt good!

“what radicalized you” idk paying attention

🌈 Even after the rainbow was erased, Houstonians made sure its colors stayed. ⠀ After city crews removed the Montrose Pride crosswalk under Gov. Greg Abbott’s directive, new painted rainbows and handwritten messages have appeared around the intersection.

I feel like people who don't like candy corn don't understand how to eat it. You're not supposed to chew. You just swallow it with water, like a pill.

Sewing pattern makers who use GenAI for the finished garment images should be kicked off of every platform for fraud. If you, as the creator, can’t make the garment and take a photo of it, you shouldn’t be selling the pattern.

Just landed back home from a much needed family vacation. Portland/Oregon coast/Redwood NP/NorCal. Lots of things checked off the bucket list

Hey @texastribune.org @houstonchronicle.com @houstonpublicmedia.bsky.social are y’all reporting on the Texas voter registration backlog that may prevent thousands of people from being registered to vote by the Oct. 6 deadline?

My Texas voter registration has been pending for 3 MONTHS! The deadline to register is Oct 6 so who knows if I’ll be able to vote. I’ve made so many phone calls and sent emails. Spoke to county officials, Secretary of State people. No one seems to care or is able to help.

finally a Texas candidate I like for senate!

He couldn’t deserve this award more!

This dress would fix me

August 31st September 1st

The sewing room has been tidied up! I’m gonna try to work on a WIP during nap time today. #GarmentSewing

My goal for the weekend is to read as much as I want. And maybeeee clean up the sewing room to get some fall sewing in. Maybeeee

The tariffs have hit dollar tree I guess

So I still use Pinterest to gather ideas and I’ve noticed that there is so much AI trash on there now. Sometimes images are labeled as AI but most are not. It’s getting frustrating to use since I have to question every other image.

The category is fall sewing! Jackets, pants, a cute bag, a cozy quilt, or whatever strikes your fancy. Use the hashtag #sewskyfallchallenge .. #garmentsewing #sewsky #sewingsky

Owning an old house is not for the weak. What was supposed to be a simple foundation leveling has turned into a semi-renovation. The plan was to phase out the work we had planned through the end of the year but now it’ll have to be done a lot sooner.

a baby 🥹

She ain’t cute, she ain’t straight, but she’s done. Used scrap wood left over from making the coop. Now my chickens need to actually start laying eggs

The end of summer has been a blur of job interviews, home repairs, and a property tax protest. Now I’m almost done with onboarding at my new job, home repairs are underway (though still stressful), and the tax protest went better than expected. Fingers crossed fall is more fun.

Now I’m glad I kept my older kid’s Correa t-shirt for my younger one to wear 🥹 #astros

Just had to trick myself into doing some low dopamine tasks by setting a 15 min timer. How’s your night going?

Well this sucks. I will say that not all Shipley’s locations taste the same and I have a single favorite location in the city. I hope they don’t change 🥲

here, have a chicken
