A tea cosy made for a friend! A magpie sits beside a pumpkin, and connects our friend to us, now in our new home province, Alberta. Magpies also call Alberta home.

The Northern lights are beautiful tonight. Greens, reds and yellow dancing across the sky!

Didn’t quite make it to Lake Louise, but this sure is pretty. Note the cloud formation over the mountain..

Former Capitol police officer Michael Fanone when confronting Proud Boys insurrectionist Enrique Tarrio: “You are a traitor to this country.” REPOST if you stand with Officer Fanone!

I feel so stressed. I wish I knew how to handle the anger and anxiety I feel, every time that Trump mentions making Canada the 51st state. He keeps throwing those threats out there, and says he is not joking…and I react EVERY time. I loathe him! #alttext

So happy to see this one finished!

My 90-year-old mom, who lost her Navy pilot father in World War II at age 12, shared similar feelings yesterday. It's like a betrayal of the greatest generation for money. How can we recover from this?

I think the White House needs an enema….

I am beginning to think that a recount of votes is warranted. I am not American. Is that possible? May be the only way to get him out of office.#alttext

I watched The Last Rifleman on Prime. I strongly recommend it. Although this character fought in WW1, he reminded me of my dad who fought in WWII. Dad never spoke of the war. I never understood what he went through. I had a glimpse tonight. Trump is flirting with another war. I am disgusted.

Do not travel to the US for any reason. It's not safe. And make their tourist dollars go to zero.

A 10-year-old U.S. citizen girl recovering from brain cancer, was detained at an immigration checkpoint while heading to an emergency medical checkup and promptly deported. Thanks to Trump and Musk. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

One of my personal favorites…. I painted this several years ago, and unfortunately, I cannot find the photographer to credit him. Taken from a calendar, I believe. Oil on canvas #alttext

Share this please!!! If media won’t cover it we can!!!!

I don’t love it, but I think it’s good enough to hang on my wall. Peggy’s Cove as winter sets in #alttext

A drive to Canmore filled all my empty spaces today! #alttext

Out of my head, and into my hands. This craft has brought me through so many periods of crisis. #rughooking #altext

Trump threatens 'large scale' sanctions on Russia until a peace deal with Ukraine is reached - NBC News. Another threat from a paper tiger. I hope people are smart enough to recognize this for what it id. #alttext

This never ceases to thrill me. This huge hare has visited nightly. #alttext

I am wondering how many lies trump told last night. Perhaps it would be easier to count his truths? #alttext

Trying #alttext to see if I can include visually impaired in my posts. I don’t think I have it right yet.

Another piece I hooked. #rughooking

A few of my hooked pieces…not my design. #rughooking

My mom was a hooker, too. #rughooking

Progress has been slow on this piece. Life sometimes gets in the way of what I most enjoy, and what brings me peace. This is sketched freehand onto burlap. I’m sure others have sketched Pumpkins and birds, but this is my creation and composition. I chose a Magpie instead of a crow this time.

This is fantastic but also underlines DON'T trust mainstream media.

Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly important thewhitepages.net/p/thirty-lon...

Oh…and while I am on this rant…A SUIT DOES NOT MAKE A MAN. That’s obvious.

Ending the night with this. *Get your hankies* A D-Day veteran called a gracious and humbled Zelenskyy a hero.

I have a huge soft spot for President Zelensky. It pains me that he would travel half a world away, to be attacked by creepy Vance, and even creepier Trump in the Oval Office. I sincerely hope that he realizes that there are those who admire and respect him.

My dad made three of these looms. They sat for many years, as none of the recipients of his handiwork, knew how to use them…until…I was fortunate in meeting a lady who walked me through the process of threading the loom, and weaving on it. This is an Inkle loom.
