I normally keep my thoughts positive and 'non political'. However, what is happening right now in this country is atrocious and I honestly can't believe it is happening right here, in 2026! It feels like 1930's Germany, and I've read enough history to SEE what is repeating. Not sure exactly what I can do but if I see injustice, I will point it out in person. I have an event in Orlando with the school this weekend and I am hoping that we do not see the ICE treatment that is happening in the northern states.
Back to happier things. Aidan and the Academic Team got knocked out of the regional tournament on the first round yesterday. They had a long lunch and then were back at school for the end of the day. He did want to try Tennis again, so I scheduled a Dr appt for clearance to go back today.
The perspective part - progress on cross stitch. I figured I'd show the pattern and where I am on it. I did start in the middle as they recommend. Doing that quilt border was a nice easy start into the project. I had to search through floss to find the bottom color outlined by green in the quilt at the bottom, and the color I started on in the quilt area. Lets just say, it took a while to find those 2 flosses! I kinda hate that page divide area, so decided to start working on that for the wagon as well. Now to find the rectangular hoop for it and see how that works, since the circle one is just too small for my liking on this project.
I totally agree about the state of our country!! Nuff said--so demoralizing!! ;'(((
ReplyDeleteI love the houses pattern--but not the crazy tilting so much...
I did a little prep on my Sentimental Scroll for the next panel--need to
sew down all those raw edges with a whip stitch..
Helga is at the Spa getting her treatment--it'll be about 2 weeks before she's done...and, I miss her already!!
Hugs, Julierose
I can't stand what is happening in our country and do not understand in the least how some people think it is ok and agree with what he is doing. This is beyond despicable and I didn't think our country was capable of being like this. This is a repeat of history and it needs to stop - and now I hear this morning that he doesn't think we need mid-term elections - B.S. to that -- sorry I get on the subject and get furious
ReplyDeleteI have felt great despair in the last couple weeks - daily there is something horrible happening. I just keep writing my senators and representative - maybe someone will start to realize we don't want this! Glad to know Aidan wanted to try again with the tennis team and your FiL is doing well, too. That wagon with the quilt hanging over it is such a pretty design! I would start right there, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for what you are feeling about the political stuff...we are getting worried here in Canada too. I'm not watching much news these days. Anyway, your cross stitch design is such a pretty one. Do take good care of your feet- you need them!!
