Some stuff. Take it or leave it. Scripts for your two senators and Rep, and a few Ukraine visuals for anyone who wants them. Doodled on the iPad this evening.

How fun is this!!! So many cute and quirky birds in this Freak for the Beak design by @boomerangstitches.bsky.social Boomerang Stitches is a safe space where racism, transphobia, and homophobia are not tolerated. #crossstitch #stitchsky

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

I stayed home with our elderly dog, got some sewing done, while my husband protested today. 💕 #SaveDemocracy #NoKingsDay #WeThePeople

Had to rip out some stitches, but I’ve made some progress on the upstairs cross stitch. Pattern is Bird Herd by @boomerangstitches.bsky.social The details are so good! 🤩 Downstairs project (Elefant) is coming right along. I’ll share a pic of that soon. #crossstitch #xstitch #crossstitching

Just finished stitching this new design from @hereticdesigns.bsky.social (thank you!) This is from lesson 1 of @timothysnyder.bsky.social book, On Tyranny, which you can find at your local library or local bookstore (not Amazon). All 20 lessons can also be found on his YouTube channel.

A little bit of resistance. Google Gulf of Mexico. You'll see Gulf of America show up at the top. Click on the three little dots to the right. Select Send Feedback. Click on Gulf Of America text. Select Inaccurate Content. Select Incorrect. Type in “The rest of the world calls it Gulf of Mexico” ☺️

Overnight progress since I couldn’t sleep. I’m going to get that eye stitched today!

Progress. Once I get the trunk and part of the face stitched, it should start looking more like an elephant.

My first post! Here to connect with friends and makers and learn this new platform. Here’s a recently finished cross stitch using three strands of DMC on 18-ct Aida (I think). Design is by Vivsters on Etsy.
