They will need 60 votes in the Senate, and only 53 GOP. I sincerely hope 7 Dems do not cross the aisle.

A hand made card stamped with the word "happy" in top left, the purple letter "k" running along the left side and a portion of the bottom, an Eiffel Tower stamped in black near the k's along the left, a small rectangular brass plate with inspirational words along the bottom right, all on cardstock that has been blended with various distress inks. This sits stop a brown envelope that has also been distressed along the front edges and back flap.
Sometimes making a simple art card to include in a random gift to a friend who has been going through it as a fed gov't contractor is the highest use of an art practice on a Sunday. I hope everyone is making something this weekend!!! #voiedevie
Pretty much never been on it.
Photo of dining table with slightly scratched and beaten up top, with a series of crochet squares in a line with either cream or deep burgundy centers edged in speckled 🩷 for spring with tea light holders on top. Second photo same, only from a different angle.
Just a wee spring table refresh. Pattern: #voiedevie Cuppa Coasters; 🧶: a mix, including #voiedevieyarn TNT worsted in blushing ice wine colorway. I hope you are making something this weekend!!!
Composed purchases of latest Noro knit + crochet magazine, a tin box of Crayola Crayons in all the colors, a box of twist Crayola pencils, and 3 skeins of Malabrigo Silky Merino in the Fresco Y Seco and Lettuce colorways.
It is just all about the color, my crafty friends! 😂 #ahandmadelife
That Sat panel discussion at 5p!!!
For any crafters/makers out there, kinda big news from early evening yesterday. All the stores will be closing. youtu.be/r5T4lsuRbZ0?...
Photo of striped crochet raglan pullover folded over showing the first sleeve completed. Mostly random stripes of peachy pink, cream, sage green, tomato, and various shades of purple that start lighter at the neck and get progressively darker to the hem.
Ok, one more sleeve to go, and then the finishing up!!! #voiedevieyarns #crochet
Photo of striped crochet raglan top in progress. Stripes are random in colors of cream, light peachy-pink and green and get progressively more color-filled as the pullover is created. A ball of hand-dyed, hand wound yarn and a crochet hook sit atop the pullover, and a peace candle holder and mug of half-sipped coffee are at the top center of the photo.
Working on finishing this crochet raglan top over the US holiday weekend. All yarn with color hand dyed by yours truly. Center yourself by making something this weekend! #voiedevieyarn
Photo of a pile of crochet WIP project with balls of hand-dyed and undyed yarn with scissors and crochet hook to the left and a candleholder with "Peace" written across in gold letters.
Sunday vibe.
Reframe that: an unelected, Congressionally unconfirmed private citizen with many conflicts of interest who also donated millions of dollars to help elect the current president.
This right here.

A white plate holds a slightly eaten breakfast omelette with goat cheese along with a raspberry applesauce muffin and cutlery on the left side. A white mug sits at the top left of the plate, and all on a dark brown dining room table with yarn ephemera in the left background.
I am so thrilled to live in a place that recognizes and celebrates MLK, Jr.'s birthday. Here's a little visual fuel to energize you for the next 4 years. Stay centered, stay true to your beliefs, and know that we are in this together.
Biden did not enforce the ban. Tik Tok went dark on its own and has come back on its own - Trump did not and *could not* do anything because he has not yet been sworn into office. The a$$hat tech bros may be genuflecting, but the legal ticker tape tells the accurate story.
What a great photo!!!
And guerrilla marketing would include posting in all kinds of public spaces.
Photo of brunch plate with veggie omelette+ goat cheese, homemade breakfast sausage with cutlery on the side, a white mug of coffee to the top left of plate with crochet hook and crochet swatches to the right of the mug.
Sunday brunch-at-home vibe. MLK, Jr. would want you to go make something ... and eat well!
Dear Stephen: I appreciate that your heart is in the right place, but resiliency in the face of this disaster is truly key to recovery. I hope you will still vote, and then work towards making changes to the show that contribute to helping the community come together.
*Substack* duh autocorrect.
Thanks for this info!!! I will check it out - I am currently researching all social media options, and Substance is definitely not my choice because of the ownership.
That right hand pillar is doing all kinds of public service!
Photo of a ball of hand dyed Voie de Vie blue yarn in the Ice Block colorway inside circular needles with the beginning of the back of a knit winter cardi on them, all atop the magazine that contains the cardi pattern.
Yarn scape of 3 Voie de Vie hand dyed skeins of yarn in the Impressionist Pie and Chartreuse-ish colorways on a brown wood second hand dining table, ready to start creating a spring lace crochet pullover.
Yarns of greens and cream in a project bag. I cannot describe much else because this is a super secret project.
Projects I'm working on this wknd (l-r): the back of my knit winter cardi; my hand dyed yarn picked for a spring crochet pullover; + a peek at a project in its plastic bag - this version for me; the orig sample sent months ago + ready for 3rd party pub in a few months. So, what's everyone making?
Would love all of my book-loving followers to give this a share (& sign up) - my new reader-facing newsletter As Seen On Booktok - as well as showcasing the BIG books, will also incl quieter books that booktokers love (in translation, short stories, debuts etc)

They are such impressive animals!
And if I wasn't so clear, I reposted on Threads something today from The Ink. Sorry about any confusion.
What amount of *free* do creatives engage in on social media vs. a paid environment like, say, Patreon. I have no answers. I am still working it out, tbh. All I do know is I am done with
a$$hat tech bros.
I need to read that piece; I also posted something on The Ink about social media as well. I am still working it out in my own mind, although I have felt the rumblings of change on social media use since last February.
Anytime!
