Last Notes npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @nprofile…v9vp my pet peeve is that the Alt button is on the left while scrolling. If the image is text, it obscures the text and makes it hard to read. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue 6 petal California poppy!

Working out my design and building up my tambour skills. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @nprofile…ugpy Hope is also a 4 letter word. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue This this black lump of spilled ink is a bane to productivity. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue Annual tamale making. Fueled by pan dulce. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @nprofile…e4ry The problem is finding modern products that are actually durable. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @nprofile…e4ry I hate debt with a passion and have successfully avoided it, outside the normal big ticket items like cars. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue Love this image of a woman in a poke bonnet. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue I finished it! npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue I just felt a mild, distant 3.2 earthquake while sitting on the toilet. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @nprofile…e4ry It's not made sense to me either. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue My husband has hit the "fuck you, pay me" phase of the shut down. People are starting to call in sick. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @nprofile…e4ry What make a city infastructure feel alive to me is that it is an amalgam of different choices layered over hundreds of years. Thousands of tiny choices: how thick to make a window frame, how tall above street level is the main floor. Buildings built by individuals then repurposed, styles changing over time. Untold layers built up over decades. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @nprofile…jytp I am out of town one weekend and have a kid's b-day to plan! npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue Realizing I have 3 weeks to make a Victorian bodice. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @nprofile…6urt My middle schooler is obsessed with the series. Since they were 7. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue Holy crap, I just mind melded with a dress maker who lived and worked 150 years ago! npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @nprofile…args who am I to judge. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue Small repair to kiddo's jeans. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue Omg, moody teen is actually being receptive to help! npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue Only took me 3 years to finish! It is 8x8 inches, 18 count Aida. Over 20,000 stitches/pixels. #crossstitch #embroidery #sewing #StarWars npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue Finished my blouse just in time for our trip. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @nprofile…jx7w well, at least it wasn't a finger. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue Oh dear god. I don't think I've ever been this scared, professionally speaking as an engineer. I just read federal government request for amendment for a very very hazardous material. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue California poppies from my yard. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue Finished my 1935 evening dress! I feel like May West in the dress - all curves. I love the "barely staying up" feel of this dress. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @nprofile…vdm6 My husband works for them. He's basically the top of the chain in what he works on, the final (non medical) call for the more legally complex decisions like qualifications like disability. Qualification is primarily based on case law, so it is very complex. It took 2 years training and monitored work to do his job. He's a top performer to boot. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @nprofile…jmhf an impressive nest for a pigeon regardless of the spikes! npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @nprofile…args Oh interesting. On the west coast we call those Waldorf schools. Had to Google steiner. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @nprofile…jx7w No, he's not. The head of his agency has already resigned in protest, very early on. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue Sigh. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @nprofile…args That is why ants should marry grasshoppers. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue Unacceptable. Your fabric is in my sleeping spot. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue I need to get some photos off FB before I delete it. Any advice? npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @nprofile…dtk0 @nprofile…qz4x Engineer here in a safety related field. More human focused that pure engineering. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @nprofile…cl5w My daughter goes to a school neurodiverse kids. They grade on knowledge, not conformance to a format, allowing each kid to pick a method of presenting information that suits their needs. But much smaller classes and individualized learning plans. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @nprofile…cl5w We will need to go back to oral testing (common before literacy was the default) to validate knowledge levels. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue Thank you Google. I had already searched for vinyl rugs and didn't find what i was looking for. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @nprofile…fynq I've heard you can judge the size/density of a city by how fast people walk. The bigger the city, the faster the pace. I believe they covered it in Radiolab years ago. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @nprofile…jx7w Full bust adjustments are trickier because of the overlap with wrap fonts. They can be flattering, it's just harder to get there with a full bust. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @nprofile…jx7w I would wonton more like this npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @nprofile…jx7w what is the hand on it? npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @nprofile…args @nprofile…ew68 I use one of those cast iron pots to make my tea while I work. Mainly because it retains its temperature. It holds about a half liter. So, it's not huge but not tiny. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @nprofile…args I find the tea gets weaker with each brew. Do you add a few new leaves as you go? npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue This one is pink. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @nprofile…args @nprofile…00n0 The Economist was doing this too. I ultimately had to unfollow because I couldn't digest a daily dump like that. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue Coffee mugs seem to be sprouting on my desk like mushrooms. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @npub1lzz…jhl3 I was looking up Project 2025 to better understand what will happen to hubby's government job in Social Security. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue I can't help but wonder, long arch of history style, if the recent rise of fascism and turmoil is related to the impacts of a new communication medium. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue When you let your 13 year old pick the bathroom art. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue My great grandmother, who just turned 100, voted for a Democrat for president for the first time. Or at least for many many years. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue Today is my 22nd wedding anniversary. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue I may have impulse bought an embroidered border print chambray. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @npub1zdp…vqv8 Made me think of you! npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @npub1ks7…eg5u Please double check the date on this post. Did she die in 1877? npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @npub193f…u6xr He would immediately be called Boba Fluff in my house. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue My garden right now. Heaps of flowers. Hard to believe this was a wasteland of lawn a year ago. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue California poppies from my garden. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @npub178r…qekt I can't speak to airplane regulations exactly, but I am an engineer in a highly regulated industry so I can speak to how these types of laws work in practice. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue My teapot broke! I recently rediscovered my love for loose leaf tea, but broke the spout of my glass teapot last week. A mere tap of the tip of the spout and it broke apart in my hands. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @npub1ks7…eg5u @npub1kvn…hm73 Reminds me a bit of Goya. They were contemporaries if I remember right. Would be interesting to know if/how they interacted and saw each other's work. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue This most ambitious historical sewing project I've ever done. It is my own variation of an 1876 designer French ball gown, unusual in its use of princess seams. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @npub1pmx…exkq @npub1x4n…7h77 @npub1qny…y0sg @npub1ps6…80vw @npub1gxp…8dpd @npub18fz…hy22 I use a battery analogy. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue Nice little crafter+baby+airplane story. A woman made a stranger's baby a hat on a plane. Seat neighbors, the baby was very interested in the hand work, so she made baby a hat with leftover yarn. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @npub1cus…6789 My kid is severely, profoundly dyslexic. It is far far worse than most realize. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue A 90 year old cast iron bathtub is getting a new lease on life. Work has re-started after a holiday pause. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @npub1k0n…dj0k The "state's rights" mantra was always a lie. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @npub18p3…03wh I think it because there was simply so much immigration. Immigrant stories are more recent and powerful. My husband's family has immigrants and natitive New Mexican roots, so culturally New Mexico and Mexico is very strong, talked about and obvious. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @npub1gsf…fhkr @npub1d7c…gkzk @npub1qzc…yetl I study risk for a living as an engineer. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue Last of SE Christmas ornaments. Today was my group party so they have all been delivered. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue More Christmas ornament embroidery. Just having fun with stitch designs, what ever strikes my fancy. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @npub1typ…c8hh I'm an engineer who writes and QC's technical documents for a living, often instructions for processes that can kill if done wrong. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @npub1ks7…eg5u Oh, the steam engine that used alcohol caught my attention. I'm a mechanical engineer and know a bit about steam engines, though no expert. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @npub19fc…ay3c it is also your age. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @npub19fc…ay3c Death on the Nile was one of the most visually breathtaking films I've seen in a while. The romance of that boat was something else. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @npub1zdp…vqv8 I'd you are curious this kitty, here is the reddit thread this image originally came from. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @npub150l…r96e rumor mill has it they are about to go bankrupt. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue Need help! Am playing with lace trimming/shaping. A bit of fun just because. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @npub1v2s…mqq5 I'm a Californian and solidly for Gavin in 2028. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @npub1qzc…yetl It will take crop failure, massive starvation and death to make the ruling class care. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @npub1503…uxwg The curving escalators were always my favorite. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue @npub1auc…gwhk In California it took the LNU lightening fires to accept that it was climate change. The Camp Fire with its many deaths wasn't enough, as it was caused by the electric company. npub1v8qaxtpq7zzrd92eecdxw4tghmlmxg90ne84wkqkk9g99x7ydndqj7vk9c SewBlue I use Gavin Newsom as a positive example for my dyslexic daughter of what can be achieved. How it doesn't have to be limiting.
