Thank you kindly!!!

A mirror selfie of a very tired me wearing a top purchased locally from a small business I can't remember the name of and Old Navy pajama-style pants.

It's early and I've not been to bed, but I must say... I am loving my look today. #ootd I feel at my best when I am dripping in color or pattern.

Here's What Trump is Turning the U.S. Economy Into He's just the latest Republican president to do this

These Oatmeal Raisin Cookie overnight oats were a win! I got the recipe right off the bat!

I'm going to attempt winging an oatmeal raisin cookie overnight oats. No recipe just vibes. 😅

Dinner is a vegetable medley soup with (from the box) cheddar bay biscuits.

Homemade from the box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits in a skillet on the stove.

It was yummy, but they don't taste as good from the box as they do at Red Lobster.

These are rough, but it's kind of nice when all the biscuits are cat paws. I'm hoping they pull apart when finished baking.

I wish I'd taken a before and after photo! The pantry and spice/tea cabinets have been reorganized and they look beautiful. My mind is at ease. Now, I can start the fridge and freezer organizing while I meal prep and clean the kitchen.

I did some much needed grocery shopping today, which prompted the reorganizing of the pantry. I still have to tackle the baking and canned goods shelves. And sort out the fridge. The plan is to catalog, portion, freeze, and meal prep. Heavens help me! I'm pleased at a good start.

Art piece of the unfortunate US President Donald Trump crazily looming over the Epstein files with the words, "This does not exist" jostling about his head.

Today, whilst running errands, I found this lovely political art piece.

I have heard of it! I believe With Wendy has advertised it in a few YT videos. I do think that is certainly a different way to use the app, but it could work as you intend. That's a novel idea!!!

Acquired new plant children while running errands. I'm going to try my hand at growing baby tomatoes. I hear they take off like wildflowers and can grow year round. When they do, I'll have endless snacks.

Sewing patterns splayed across the bed.

Wardrobe plotting has begun. It's gotten so warm here (from mid-60s to hi-90s in less than two weeks)! I'm in need of a few summer garments.

Thank you! Yes, they are denim. Quilted, which was a choice I don't think I'd make again with the thickness. 😅 It's a utility denim versus a chambray.

Pickleball rackets in their quilted denim covers upon a messy table. A sign reading made with love graces the top.

Best part was they were adjustable! It was my first time time using a buckle hardware to adjust the length. It was a learning process as I kept getting turned around in the tutorials I found.

The phone pouch with it's corresponding racket cover. These are meant to clasp on so the boys have a place to store their phone while playing.

Denim phone pouches. One with a green zipper and rhe other with a blue zipper.

Okay final sewing project of the day is actually making the phone pouches that were meant as part of a gift given last Christmas. They are meant to clasp onto a set of quilted pickleball racket covers I made my besties.

Lunch pail made up in a granny square crochet print fabric.

Lunch pail is finished! I've crossed a lot off my sewing platter. I think my next big project will have to be my living room curtains, now that I've gotten my procrastination projects out of the way 😅.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

Finished the pie transport bag and it is gorgeous!!! I love love love this granny square print fabric! It's weird because I thought I used cotton batting on both layers on my last bag but this new one is much thicker so I may have misremembered. It will definitely retain the temp.

Made a delectable dinner for #familyfiber at friends house. So good to commune with friends after what feels like ages of being sick and hiding away. I made chicken flautas with Spanish rice and guacamole.

We don’t want war. We want healthcare, a living wage, and affordable housing.

They are healthier, yes. Unless you have allergies to contend with, then no.

Done quilting. Now to put it all together. Lords how I love this fabric!

Today's project is a pie transport bag and the lunch bag as it was intended to be sewn. I'm quilting the pie transport bag panels.

Trying continuous line drawing while watching @hcrichardson.bsky.social and @jbf1755.bsky.social talk about the current tomfoolery of Trump and his regime.

Tonight I'm really making good use of French seams, sewing up a burlap sack and basket for potato and onion storage.
