How does one blog?

I've got nothing. The current state of the country is so horrible and unbelievable that it feels it cannot be real. But yet there it is. The government is murdering and violently abusing people and they are seemingly getting away with it. Felon47 flips an autoworker off for disagreeing with him and the autoworker gets suspended and Felon47 goes on his racist, insane way. I truly believe, 100% totally believe, that at this rate, the psychopath in the White House could point blank kill a reporter in a news conference and absolutely nothing would happen except his lackeys would say it didn't happen. 

What am I supposed to write about? All the words in the world are not going to convence the white supremacists who worship the felon in chief that he is other than a god. And anyone who is terrified by what is going on doesn't need more to perseverate over. Yet it seems weird to not address current events because they are so enormously horrible. I'm also not sure how many posts about what I'm making and what I'm reading (because that is my current method for surviving the madness) anyone wants to read. 

Really, what I want more than anything else... even more than I want that winning lottery ticket to fly into my hand... is to wake up and have the past year be some atrocious nightmare. Or short of that, hearing that everyone in, or connected with, this administration has been arrested and brought up on charges of murder and treason. Frankly, if I had to bet on one of those things happening, my money is currently on the winning lottery ticket because my faith in my fellow US citizen is at an all time low. 

And now everyone needs a calming animal picture to stop the hyperventilating.

Making bias tape... otherwise known as the Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway

Image
( Sorry, the contest is now closed .... though you're welcome to leave a comment if you like.) [This picture has absolutely nothing to do with this post, but is here solely to give Blogger a different photo to post in the thumbnail.] It's Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway time again.  I love bias tape.  It is so useful and so easy to use... finishing edges ... finishing seams ...  And while the pre-packaged stuff has it's place and I use it often, I really like to have patterned bias tape as well.  Enter one of my favorite little tools: the bias tape maker.  This one make 3/4 inch bias tape and I will be giving one away at the end of this post.  But first, I thought some of you might like to see what it does if you've never used one before. I don't have a rotary cutter, nice cutting mats, or even a proper cutting table (I cut-out things on my floor), so if I can do this, so can you.  Here is my admittedly quirky method. Step 1:  Lay out the fabric an...

Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway

Image
Sew, Mama, Sew! is hosting another giveaway day , the day where many bloggers giveaway things they have made or supplies to make things or both.  It is great fun to visit a lot of blogs and try to win cool stuff.  So fun that I thought I would participate this year. I had great hopes of making a set of coordinating mother/daughter aprons.  But reality reared its ugly head and I came to terms with the fact that my time is not limitless.Instead of aprons,  I must continue to spend quality time with yards and yards of red plaid flannel.  What am I making?  Well, as I tell my children, it is the season not to ask questions... I will be able to let you know sometime after the 25th. Instead of making something, I went to my favorite thrift store and found some supplies in the form of sheets and pillowcases (some of my favorite raw material).  I'm giving away three pillowcases and one twin flat sheet. I decided to go with bright, springy colors...

The mystery of the missing soap

You all know that I am an avid reader of mysteries, but sometimes we have our own real life mysteries here as well. Take the case of the missing soap. One of our bathrooms upstairs is the children's bathrooms, whose sink is lower than other sinks upstairs. Now, since it is the children's bathroom, it is not always pristine and things cannot always be found when they are needed. Are we the only house where things just randomly vanish, never to be seen again? This happens fairly frequently. Often the items are too big to have been taken by Borrowers , but every human in the house disavows any knowledge of the missing item. As far as they are concerned, they never even knew said item existed, so how could they have taken it? Often Mr. Nobody gets the blame and we move one, the item sometimes resurfacing at a later date and sometimes not. Early last week, when the little girls went upstairs to get ready for bed and found an entire bar of soap missing, it was classed as one of ...
