Too much going on in my mind these days to keep up with blogging, quilting, or just about anything else. It's all I can do to keep the worry about the destruction going on in our country and in the world from eating me alive. Already the dictates of our co-presidents have severely affected the lives of my children negatively. And we're promised that more mayhem is on the way.
Jesse found the little bear (photo above) in some of my throw-away stuff. I wish I could believe the bear's message, but I'm not going to throw him away.
Take care of yourselves, everyone. It has been a very long time since I've been this depressed. Well maybe not ever, actually.

Please move over a tad and I'll sit beside you and that hopeful bear on the Major Concerns bench. My method is to separate myself from all news about or from the Rapist Felon and cohorts who belong in jail (wouldn't the Republicans of our youth be outraged?). Instead, I read, try to find tiny hallmarks on inherited silver, read blogs, and put bird seed out for our songbirds and squirrels. Yesterday a squirrel came to our front window to implore me to put more seeds out. I did.
The only sewing I seem to be doing is making fabric scrap slabs so I can cut out more hearts to layer with batting and backing, machine quilt, add a loop of ribbon, and a button or 3 for decoration, then leave them hither and thither for some stranger to find and be cheered. See 'I Found a Quilted Heart'.
Yesterday morning our neighborhood was without electricity for 3.5 hours and that totally derailed me. DH and I were dressed like Nanook of the North just trying to stay warm as it sleeted outdoors.
Hugs!

Susan, I'm right there with you. It's all appalling and is sending my nerves over the edge. Big hugs!

I am concentrating on making my corner of the world better. I have started doing more volunteer work at a local place that serves breakfast to the homeless. I am donating more to the local food bank and this summer will be working for a community garden. Speak your beliefs calmly and firmly, but don't be silent. You are not alone!

I will not let them take away my joy. Yes we have some negative impacts being felt in my household too. We will figure out what is best for us. I plan on not buying anything on Feb 28.
