Photos last year from Juno, Auschwitz, Hiroshima, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Bosnia. Remembering, mourning, and hoping this century does not fall victim to the same needless horrors as the last one.

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...

This is delightful!

...its wild we have a Labour Dispute Mediator in our province popular enough to have Fan Art.

(WITH FRAYING PATIENCE) No thanks, I don’t want to see Marilyn Monroe in Game Of Thrones, because it ended several years ago and she died a very long time before that.

The Mariners have the salmon run and I would like to humbly suggest the Bluejays borrow the Vancouver Canadians’ sushi race This would help with national unity youtu.be/SGTph11oTrU

This is my antifa membership card.

What a thread.

Count down to “Young men keep writing things on ammo and shooting people, are women not making enough room for men in the crafting space?”

The voids are learning to coexist, and possibly plotting against me…

A slightly belated intro to Morgana! I’ve had her for a week now and she’s made herself completely at home, though Baerd is still a bit unsure about the intruder. Like most 9 week old kittens, she has zero chill, and I think she’s going to wind up being the one in charge!

I live in a 3 storey condo building on a quiet side street that was built in the 70s, and I love it. It’s green and peaceful, but mere steps to the transit and shopping of a major road. Allowing up to 6 floors wouldn’t be a significant change, and would open this up to more people

BBC News captures Doctor Who himself Sylvester McCoy at the Trump protest seemingly unaware of who they're interviewing.

This is as dystopian a move as possible right now

I support a democratically elected park board. Part of democracy is ensuring that the government’s decisions match the city’s values. Vancouver is a city for all its people. Trans people included. I am calling on the Park Board to rethink this event and make this right.

I can

Another Chloe blouse done! I got this gorgeous cotton in Arles last year and kept changing my mind about what to make with it, but this is the right choice. The buttons are handmade locally, and I won them as part of a door prize at a Frocktails a couple of weeks ago #garmentsewing

Cats always make working from home just that little bit more challenging

I was completely torn when the final vote was between orcas and totem poles, but the orca is a worthy winner

THE FLAG GOES DOWN THE TOTEM RISES WHICH MEANS TOMORROW'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH IN THE SEARCH FOR BC'S BEST SYMBOL IS ORCAS VERSUS TOTEM POLES

TOTEM FLAG WINNER MAKES THE CHAMPIONSHIP PICK THE SYMBOL FEEL THE SYMBOLISM

Happy #caturday from Baerd, who has managed to find every single cobweb on the patio!

Quick version of the Chloe blouse from Silversaga patterns in a rayon that has been in my stash for an eternity. Next step is cutting into precious fabric that I got in France last year! #GarmentSewing #VancouverSews

I'm so torn on this one! Terry Fox is, well, Terry Fox, but the flag somehow manages to be awesome despite breaking pretty much every design rule and including a Union Jack...

on one hand, some folks online are being a tad uncharitable at the refurbished Granville Street Bridge's public spaces being in an interim state on the other hand, if you do a political ribbon cutting ceremony after two years and $54 million, you're gonna get dunked on if this is the first result

If you do not actually spend money at the cute local businesses you love, those businesses will go away.

Probably doesn't matter because orca will take the quadrant, but sockeye vs spirit bear next week is already stressing me out!

Since I haven’t posted any cat content in a while, here’s Baerd enjoying his catnip plant, and our neighbour is the cutest little spy

My favourite sundress ever is complete! This is the #WaverleyDress made using some embroidered cotton voile that I bought in Paris last year. The ruffle is a serious fabric hog, but it’s super twirly and I love it! #GarmentSewing #VancouverSews

-You don't play crazy golf; it has gone ahead of you, removed the humorous obstacles, placed the ball in each hole, giving you a perfect score. -You don't worry about lunch; it has made a sandwich, eaten it for you, muttered 'mmm, that was great'. -You don't go to see your sister; it has killed her.

I have possibly my most ridiculous sewing project to date in progress. For reference, that’s 3m of fabric, and the long pattern piece is half of a skirt ruffle, and it will be the floofiest sundress ever! #GarmentSewing #VancouverSews

who needs state media when the private outlets will defend the empire to its dying breath?

I finished my Rosewyn blouse! It’s such a great summer top, especially in a light viscose, and it’s a perfect balance of easy to make, and enough fun details to keep it interesting #GarmentSewing #VancouverSews

The Santa Ono controversy has been very ironic considering that seven years ago UBC's student newspaper did an entire issue spoofing him when he was UBC's president as a vain people pleaser who would say whatever was necessary to make a controversial issue go away

I kind of ran out of steam towards the end of #MeMadeMay, a combo of repeating garments and just not feeling like taking pictures of myself, but it was great to see what everyone else was posting. I finished the month with a work in progress that should be done soon! #GarmentSewing

I live a few blocks away from this one, and it brightens my day every time I walk past

Today in #MeMadeMay I went to the #SewistsPicnicYVR in an outfit made entirely from fabrics I got from the #MetroVanSewingSwap at previous editions of the picnic! #GarmentSewing

I took a bit of a break from taking photos for #MeMadeMay, but I managed to get one of my Kinfolk dress by Jennifer Lauren Handmade, which is one of my warm weather favourites #GarmentSewing #VancouverSews

I successfully donated blood today! Only the second time I’ve managed to get my iron up high enough, but I’m happy when I can. And of course, the important part of getting a juice box and cookies afterwards

I’m cutting out fabric on #MeMadeMay day 17, trying out the Rosewyn from Gold and Skye patterns #GarmentSewing #VancouverSews

Trump is the president he said he would be. He’s always fawned over dictators. There’s just not a ton of room for surprise re: tariffs, targeting immigrants, LGBTQ rights, alignment w/ Putin, etc. But I have to say, I really, really thought cancer research might be a bipartisan interest.

#MeMadeMay day 16 is a repeated skirt. I was in the office today, so Baerd is letting me know that he was all alone forever and ever #catsofbluesky #garmentsewing

We’re halfway through #MeMadeMay! It’s raining so I took my pictures inside today, and tried to get my unwilling cat to play along. This is the Smooth Sailing blouse from Wearing History, jeans are RTW #GarmentSewing #VancouverSews

Another WFH outfit for #MeMadeMay day 14. The TLC caftan from Decades of Style is one of my go to outfits, especially when I’m going to be spending the day sitting in front of a computer with just the cat for company!

#MeMadeMay day 13. Yesterday was a repeat so I didn’t bother with a picture. Today was another Sewaholic Nicola. This one is also several years old and mostly a house dress at this point, but perfect for WFH! #GarmentSewing #VancouverSews

It’s day 11 of #MeMadeMay and today’s outfit was my #PerennialBlouse with a RTW skirt #GarmentSewing #VancouverSews
