The president is using the military to dismantle cities that didn't vote for him The president is using the military to distract from women speaking out against his and Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuses. We are not living in ordinary times. Extraordinary responses are called for.

Giving a predator like Ghislain Maxwell a platform, moving her to a comfortable prison without receiving anything in return except to claim innocence and say you’re nice guy— when 100’s of children where victimized is a miscarriage of justice. Epstein survivor—“…She also participated in the abuse…”

Newest quilt. Smaller one…lap sized. It’s going into a basket raffle, along with a nice bottle of wine. The lucky winner can cozy up!

Quiet evening out on the patio. I love this time of year.

Called into emergency dog sitting service. Say hello to Grizzly ("Grizz").

Here it comes.

Finishing up a machine pieced and quilted table runner that will be part of items for a basket raffle. Just have to put the binding on. The basket will have the runner, coordinating cloth napkins, wine glasses and candles. It’s spring now but this will be “Autumn Table Decor”.

Finished this! Nice to get ONE thine done!!!

Finally getting around to finishing one of my quilt projects. I pieced it several years ago and am now working on machine quilting it. It’s about 4’ square and I hope to finish it by the end of the month. We shall see.

Kransekake for Christmas desert!! A Norwegian “wedding cake”. Yum!! Merry Christmas everyone! Thanks to the Aasens for making it.

In the darkest moments, hope is the quiet rebellion against giving up. Every act of resistance begins with the belief that change is possible.

I took a nap and when I woke up this had happened.

Great time at Dazzling Nights at the Botanic Gardens!

Beautiful sunset this cold evening!

Ditto this.

Wow! Never had so many blooms!

Why do bedroom smoke detectors invariably fail at 3:00 AM - waking one from a deep sleep with their every-30 seconds-beeping?

Been decorating for Christmas already. I like to take my time with it! But had to hang up my reindeer so I can enjoy it for a longer time!

My Thanksgiving cactus is getting ready to bloom again!

As true today as when he wrote this in 1970. Maybe even more so.

I'm trying to finish up all the projects I started at the Houston Quilt Festival. Making progress! Glad to be here on Bluesky!
