Went to someone's sewing garage sale (clearing out their mother's sewing stuff--thought I'd snag some bargains on stuff I don't yet have), and did *not* get any questions on if I was in the right place... I attribute this to wearing the very bright pink/red shirt I sewed dyed with cochineal. The husband there may have given my shirt a good hard look. 🤔

(I'm a straight male, but, gender roles and all, I think "pink" is a statement. He was chatting proudly with some other lady about a kid or niece or something having a "great job" as a guard at a prison somewhere)

Anyway, acquired some tracing paper and a couple of tracing wheels so I can try to copy a pattern and/or trace it onto fabric without cutting. Vintage tracing paper.

LOL pink tracing wheel. You could make this stuff more popular with men by making that a "camo" handle and selling it for MOYG and call it a "tactical cutting wheel" 🤪

Now I am reminded of Ursula Vernon's "Paladin" series of fantasy novels.

They feature an order of berserker paladin fighters; several of whom spend their spare time spinning thread and knitting socks, because they understandably do not want uncomfortable feet while chasing down demons.

Nobody dares to bother them about this.

@michael_w_busch When people ask me how they should order their purchases of outdoor adventure gear, they are always surprised when I nominate good-quality socks as the highest priority.

Entire armies have been crippled by blisters and athlete's foot and trenchfoot. When your military can't march due to their feet legit rotting off, you can't do shit.

@JessTheUnstill @lds @michael_w_busch my girlfriend is away for two weeks walking in the Australian outback. My only care was that she had good shoes and socks. People who haven't bushwalked will think of everything else.

Apparently the only people who I have run into at these garage sales are elderly grandmothers, and apparently most of them are only quilting and doing crochet, they talk about how their mothers used to sew clothing, but they only know how to quilt. 🤔 On the plus side, I got a massive pile of bobbins (and strangely, a spare bobbin assembly which is an exact fit for the old Montgomery Ward sewing machine I got for free in the same bag... 🤔 )
in reply to AI6YR Ben

Works (mostly). Much more accurate than chalk. But you need enough paper in the right places because you don't want to keep lifting your pattern to move the paper. #sewing

tracing paper is wonderful stuff, but beware... sometimes it can be hard to get out of better fabrics!

The image depicts a mural on a wall, featuring a figure with a hooded cloak and a distinctive bird-like mask. The figure's eyes are large and glowing, with a red hue, and the mask has a long, beak-like shape. The background is a swirling mix of dark and light shades, creating a smoky, ethereal effect. The figure's cloak appears to be textured, with a fur-like quality around the hood. The overall color palette is monochromatic, with shades of black, white, and gray, enhancing the mysterious and ominous atmosphere of the scene.

The image features a vibrant graffiti mural on a black brick wall. The central subject is a stylized depiction of a raccoon's face, rendered in shades of gray, white, and black, with striking pink and teal accents. The raccoon's mouth is open, showcasing its sharp teeth, and its eyes are wide and intense. The mural incorporates digital pixelation effects, with teal and white squares and splatters adding a dynamic, urban feel. The artist's signature, "Luke046.ART," is visible in the top right corner. The background includes a faded red text, "АКТРАЛЛА КОПЕРС КРОС," and a pink horizontal stripe, enhancing the mural's visual impact.

The image features a large, detailed mural of a cat painted on a black wall. The cat has striking yellow eyes, a pink nose, and a mix of gray, black, and white fur with distinct stripes. It is depicted in a realistic style, with attention to the texture of its fur and the play of light and shadow. The cat is positioned in the foreground, with its head turned slightly to the left, giving it a contemplative expression. Behind the cat is a large purple circle, which contrasts with the black background and adds a vibrant element to the composition. The mural is signed with the artist's name, "[@]SAGIEART," in purple and orange graffiti-style text. The wall shows signs of wear, with some graffiti and stickers visible, and there is some greenery at the base of the wall, adding a touch of nature to the urban setting.

The image features a vibrant mural painted on a wall. On the left side, there is a large piece of graffiti with the name "LARZULI" in bold, colorful letters, predominantly in shades of blue, green, and yellow, with a blue outline. Below the graffiti, the name "NAVEL" is written in smaller yellow letters. The background of the graffiti includes a sunset scene with mountains and palm trees, adding a colorful and dynamic backdrop.

On the right side of the mural, there is a detailed depiction of a fiery, monstrous figure with glowing eyes and flames emanating from its body. The figure is rendered in shades of black and gray, with bright orange and yellow flames, creating a dramatic and intense visual effect. The word "PENCIL" is written in small white letters near the top right corner of the mural. The overall composition of the mural combines elements of street art and fantasy, creating a striking and engaging visual experience.

The US is going to pull all military support for nations near the Russian border, including Ukraine. That's the message Hegseth sent to European countries. Trump is laying the groundwork for Russia's attack on Western Europe. He is actively coordinating with Putin.

#ScribesAndMakers 5. What would be a major accomplishment on your current project if you could complete it this month?

Finalize the rest of the storyline for my WIP. The broad outline is clear but lots of details need to be worked out, especially, about the climax.

Trump is cooking the books. He and his thugs are also intentionally shaving the jobless numbers to bait Powell into cutting interest rates. It's always a numbers game with Trump, and the numbers are always cooked, including the election. The economy is no different. Lisa Cook knows it.

Just read up on the methods Hitler used to hide the debts and create money out of thin air. You will then understand how Trump is doing it now. It isn't just with fake numbers. The Nazi economy was a 'pyramid scheme' and Trump doing the same.


Dang it, YouTube, why are all your suggested thumbnails of my Kickstarter video so ghastly?
