Another Tuesday for which the kid does not have school. I support the union and OMG I need the summer to end.

I’m sorry, friend. I hope you can get some rest and maybe feel better in the morning.

Totally. At this point I only sew things for other people that I know they want/need. Same with knitting. The cross stitch is just for me (but I would part with some of it for a hefty sum, it’s a shit ton of work). But now I’m going to overwhelm friends and family with silly potholders.

Nate Silver's whole deal is that he accurately called a coinflip 20 years ago and, as a result, we will never be rid of him.

With that said, I have to start making potholders because I have way too much fucking fabric just sitting around.
Tom Wambsgans’ Second Wife, PhD (@drwambsgans.bsky.social)
I really want a potters wheel and a kiln but I know myself and know I’d just end up with a million shallow bowls and wouldn’t be able to offload them onto all my friends. This is why cross stitching is a good craft for me: it’s clean, takes forever, very small, very cheap, and they are just for me.

I worry for all the cosplayers and the like. Joann was the only national chain I know of that sold all different kinds of clothing fabrics. The loss of these patterns and that access to fabric is just a lot. Like I’m not even in that group, but I have made several Halloween costumes for the kid.
