HMF on Sunday

The last week has been a crazy dash to the finish line. I meant to blog this photo for Hand Made Friday, but just didn’t have the time. ☕️ #HMF

It's Hand Made Friday! What hand made pieces did you wear today? I'm wearing a chain maille pendant, one that I will never make again. :)

Have a great weekend!

It's Hand Knit Friday! What hand knits did you wear today?

Okay, I admit it. I didn't exactly wear this all day, but I did wear it long enough to take a photo. This is the Rio Calina Cowl designed by Cat Bordhi. This pattern, as with all of Cat's patterns, is genius. It is a free flowing river of cables that you place whenever the mood hits. Oh, and it's reversible. She designed it for a worsted weight yarn, but mine is made in a super chunky, super soft Malabrigo.

We lost dear Cat last month. I look forward to wearing her cowl on a chilly day.

It's Stay-At-Home Hand Made Friday! What hand made pieces did you wear today? AQI is over 170 today, so I'm back to wearing 2 masks when going out. The top mask is a hand made fabric mask and the bottom mask is a N95 mask from Vogmask.

Stay safe and wear your mask(s)!

Sorry everyone. I had my HMF post ready to go yesterday, then I heard about Ruth Bader Ginsburg's passing and that put me in a tailspin.

After a few hours, I saw Paul Fromburg's post on Facebook and it brought me back. Here's what it said:

Ok, I found my words.

Tonight: Grieve like crazy. Have a cocktail. Take a walk. Weep and wail. Get it out of your system.

Tomorrow: Fight like hell.

Don’t waste your time posting on FB or texting like-minded friends. Get organized. Target candidates in vulnerable Republican senatorial races or those who just hate Trump. CALL THEIR OFFICES ON THE PHONE. Call them every day. Say (as politely as you can) that you request that the senate not confirm another supreme court nominee until after the next president is sworn in on January 20, 2021.

Reports say that Lisa Murkowski has already stated she WILL NOT vote for a new supreme court justice until after the next president is in office. Call her!

Lisa Murkowski: (202) 224-6665 (Hates Trump)
Mitt Romney: (202) 224-5251 (Hates Trump)
Susan Collins: (202) 224-2523 (Is going to lose anyway – so should hate Trump)
Martha McSally: (202) 224-2235 (Vulnerable)
Cory Gardner: (202) 224-5941 (Vulnerable)

We have to have FOUR Republican senators who will vote against in order to save the supreme court. Don’t waste your energy complaining to McConnell. Don’t try to reason with him (but you said in 2016…) that is a waste of energy.

And give a sh*t-ton of money to every senate candidate we need to win an election and stay in office:

John Hickenlooper in Colorado: https://hickenlooper.com/
Mark Kelly in Arizona: https://markkelly.com/
Sara Gideon in Maine: https://saragideon.com/
Cal Cunningham in North Carolina: https://www.calfornc.com/

Oh, and this is the hand made mask I wore yesterday.
