Today’s LOL moment. I have probably yelled more inappropriate things at Excel than any other Office app - and I was pretty good at it back in the day

The Suquamish and Squaxin Island tribes and Maritime Washington celebrated the release of the Tribal Guide to Maritime Washington website, a resource that invites visitors to learn more about Pacific Northwest tribes, with weaving, shellfish and language demos. maritimewa.org/tribal-guide

Another masterpiece by Jim Shull

Nice engraving of Hogg wearing his shepherd’s maud.

You know, they don’t really get any more graceful when they grow up. But gosh darn, they sure are good tree climbers!

Rogue buoys 🙄

Friday evening with a favorite old #LeVentDuNord album

This is too true. Just seeing the atrocious AQI readings around the country is making me anxious even though they’re fine locally

Today I started in on the annual potting shed swamp out. #GardenSky

I love this photograph so much. Two young men with great plans and determination, headed into the limitless future

I am missing some people terribly - not my family.

Good thread on how we need to change our assumptions and expectations around wildfires

The tiff

My sleepy brain has decided to interpret distant thunder as the sound of the gods rolling out their wheelie bins

This was one of the utterly purgatorial aspects of my experience with dense smoke here in ’21 - the temperatures were noticeably cooler than the forecasts predicted.

It’s #DressHistory trivia time!

Below is the video for a presentation I gave last month about my research on free people of color during the Civil War era. If you missed the presentation live, you can watch it now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4oy...

Culottes are back. I loved mine in the ‘70s

Daily bunny no.3380 can't see their blanket

Today I got a letter from my homeowners insurance company letting me know that in the event of a wildfire they may deploy a team of people who will try to keep my house from burning down. How was your day?

In March 1997 I made a scouting trip to PDX, and Lloyd Center was one of the places I stopped by. Bought a very small gray velour gargoyle there, to keep me company while I drove around, trying to figure out if Oregon would be a good fit for me.

The Kiriki Press designs are just so darned cute 🦇

A good list! I would add Edmund Crispin, who adds a good dose of humor to his books.

Book’s haunted. Seriously, you’re gonna be about 200 pp into this when the clerk will grab you by the neck and pull you right into the book and then complain bitterly about their chilblains and the cost of goose quills. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Daily bunny no.3378 offers a free ride

Latest knit lace scarf. A bit on the Goth side 🧶 some details in the alt text

The bunny queen

Look at all the wonderful regalia!

Coupla loosely related things: 1. Read Tom’s books - they’re great 2. “Well-behaved women seldom make history,” which I’m sure you’ve seen on t-shirts, is correctly attributed to Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, who is very much still with us

@lastwater.net Saw these, thought of you

Why isn’t *my* KitchenAid mixer full of stars?😭😭😭😭

Victor has tried to explain the rules of his red rubber ball game to me several times, but I’m just not getting it.

This little loom did NOT want to get folded up exactly the same way your cat does NOT want to get in that carrier. (In one tiny spot the edge of the beater was butting up against the underside of the castle.)

Me, at the beginning of any meeting where I had to set up a bunch of components to all communicate with one another. I don't miss those days at all.

Well now here’s an interesting #DressHistory byway! Aren’t they fabulous?

It’s hard for me to express how excited I am for the prospect of regional linen production here in the US. I used to weave with wonderful linen from Belgium and would love to have domestic linen of a similar quality #Flax

COMIC: Counts as a Day

Seems like a good day to mention that (as many of you know!) the sails used on Viking ships were made of wool… 🐑 🇳🇴 ⛵️ sjofartsmuseum.museumvest.no/en/the-sail-...

Feel like I should warn people that have followed me for less than a year: the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show is coming up on Saturday, and that means I will be flooding your timeline with quilt pics. Anyway, here’s one of my faves from last year:

Wonderful quilt! 🪡

So…what if a person baked little tartlet shells, and when they were cool, spread a layer of peanut butter in the bottoms, and then a layer of grape jelly, and then an inch (or so) of whipped cream on top of that…

You know, when the aunties congregate like that, you are in some *serious* trouble

12 YARDS OF TAPE JUST COMPLETED! I measured the warp some time in the late ‘90s and then put it away until last winter. I think this calls for ice cream for dessert! #Handwoven

One morning stand up meeting at the Creation: “today we’d like to give a big welcome to the folks just rolling off the bear design team and joining us here at invertebrates. Really looking forward to see what we can accomplish together “

Red letter day here at the Blue Door as I find a huckleberry seedling! I have 3 large bushes which the birds eat clean over the winter. I have a theory that huckleberry seeds germinate better after they’ve been birds’ digestive systems 🐦
