Crafting, living, and Misfits

 This arrived in the mail yesterday, a catalog raisonne of the 2019  exhibit in Boston of protest art after T***p was elected, and other artworks of political and feminist protest. It's a wonderful reminder and very timely again, sadly, since fascism is again threatening to take over.

Gnarly old  hand, that's made many things, ready to open this surprise

I was going to write more about this, but need to postpone that since my day was upended by getting terrible news from a friend about her health. That drove everything else

 out of my thoughts.

Meanwhile, I did finish the experimental weaving and it seems to work as hoped.  The yarn was a gift from the same friend who sent the catalog.

And Misfits delivered

that cardboard division you see in the box will become several pinlooms

some of the plantbased spicy sausage went with a spaghetti Alfredo for lunch. I've got yogurt working, to go with the blueberries.  The squash will join a bag of carrots waiting in the freezer, along with veggie scraps for stock, to make soup.

Please spare good thoughts for my friend as she deals with yet another health setback. In better days she and I were fixit buddies and knitting friends and cooking tipsters and gardening exchangers. Great fun.

Here's another way to honor Ukraine, by honoring Ukrainian art and artists.

Happy day, everyone, let's make our own art, whatever form that comes in for us today.
