Hello all. It’s Wednesday, although my brain is convinced it has survived more than two work days this week. It’s wrong…well, unless you count the weekend, when I also worked. As always. I finally finished all the bindings on the dye paintings…with everyone’s help. Here’s Nova…
Who headbutts things and then drools on you.
I started embroidery (finally!) on this one last night…
Probably take forever. I was going to do more applique on it, but that would have meant getting off the couch and I was well past that. I will still DO the applique, but I need to prep for it earlier in the evening. Probably not tonight. Today is a mess. We’re going on a field trip to the Midway (big military boat; my favorite thing really…ha), then we’re back in our rooms for two periods and I still don’t have air conditioning (it was 97 degrees outside yesterday). Then pilates and cooking dinner. Ugh. I’ll be half dead by the end of it. And I’m grading like crazy to hopefully limit what I have to get done over break.
I went to the ceramics studio last night and took this half-assed photo of the bowl ready for glaze fire.
It took me almost an hour to do the glazing. I’m hoping it turns out well.
The Forbidden Words Project quilt is done…I have three words/phrases in it.
Let’s see if I can find them…
The girlchild might make it to the opening where this will debut up in San Francisco. It’ll travel…hopefully I’ll see it at some point.
Yesterday was crazy hat day AND tattoo a teacher (fundraiser)…
What’s funny is that I went to the ceramics studio after and forgot I had the tattoos and got some weird looks until I remembered.
Good times. Getting them off was a bit more challenging, but I think we’re good.
This is where we’re headed. Again.
I’d like to bring up the guy who said my comments about the Repugs/MAGA need to throw women back to the 1900s were a conspiracy theory. After I bring him up, I’d like him to explain what’s happening now and how I was wrong. (not happening; it’s fine. It’s not like I wanted to be right.)
And this. Sigh.
Keep voting y’all. And caring about all the people. It’s what we’re supposed to do.
