America, don't forget about #Epstein Don't forget that your president is a pedophile misogynist with compulsive logorrhea and has the ability to refocus your attention

I wonder how often the citizens of Ottawa who are depending on food banks, stressed out because they're living paycheck to paycheck, and have no family doctor go to Lansdowne park. I haven't been there in years. Not really interested.

Today, Lansdowne 2.0 was passed with a 15 - 10 vote at Council. This is going to be an important issue in 2026, and I hope you'll stay engaged with Council in the coming months.

I'm torn between 2 & 3 because of the chest build and sleeve hang. 3 is hand stitched, but it could use a better press. 1 clearly isn't built for the wearer, but the fabric drapes well. 4 sleeve hangs poorly at the elbow, I don't think it should break that way. 3, 4, 1 are my answers, respectively.

I received Math For Knitters, by Kate Atherley, published by 9/10 Publications. It's a wonderful read and extremely helpful for knitters of all experiences! I love my collection of @kateatherley.bsky.social 's & @ninetenpub.bsky.social books & I encourage you to support this quality Canadian product

Happy Hallowe'en from the 6...1...3...

It's too bad that The Curator, Robyn Fiorda, of the G&M didn't mention Topsy Farms' Shoreline Throw – share.google/v2CJCLncXVaJ... in Best Fall Blankets & Throws To Keep You Warm And Cozy, from 10/29. If you need cheap and immortal, please buy more plastic items, made by modern slaves, from Amazon.

I had to film this to see the sparkle. It's of one upper bust cup on a bridal gown that I hand-stitched, erm, adorned, with clear beads and sequins. From lace to WOW SPARKLE! I love customising special pieces for my clientele.

Chills! 🇨🇦🍁 #BlueJays

I love it when I read or hear something that I've been trying to practice and say all along: "Pessimism is irresponsible. Pessimism is what the autocrats, what the dictators, what the kleptocrats, what the oligarchs want you to feel." --Anne Applebaum

I live in a GeddyLee-FREE zone.

I love it when I am gifted beautiful things. I am lucky.
