I am trying to be calm, after seeing the headline that Matt Gaetz is going to be the new
Attorney General.
This is hard.
So hard.
Horrible people with their own agendas, put in positions of power.
What are we doing America?????
OK, I will try to be good.
Another "egg towel" warp on the loom.
Twenty new egg towels coming up.
Naya loves to lay on my bed and look out the window.
She is a princess, isn't she???
When I first bought this house 20 years ago, I took note of this beautiful door in the basement. It separated the old part of the house, 1790, from the newer part, 1820. But then the duct work for the furnace was put through the door way, since the alternative was to break out a stone wall.....
And suddenly the door had no purpose.
I loved it, and planned that one day I would get it out of the cellar.
Well, that day came.
Here it is coming out into the sunshine.
The door is 54" wide, and 75" tall.
I couldn't sell it. It belongs here.
So..............
It has a brand new life inside my back door, where everyone comes
into the house.
A place for coats, and shoes, and everything else that would normally get thrown in the corner.
Here's what it looks like in the dining room. It may not be for everyone, and it may not fit
into everyone's house,
but it's perfect in this old house.
While trying to concentrate on this post, I heard the local news say that the House and the Senate are now in total control of the Republicans.....so the Congress and the White House are in cahoots........nothing to stop them, nothing at all.
I fear this is gong to be a very painful lesson for this country.
I wish I didn't have to think about it at all.
I feel that the world has gone mad all around me. Every day I have to keep looking for
sanity, and serenity. I wonder if this feeling of panic will ever subside.
Panic lives inside of me.
ReplyDeleteI do love that you made that beautiful door into a set of cabinet doors! That warmed this shivering heart. :)
Your warp is beautiful. Your reuse of door wonderful. As to the US politics, I've got nothing; I can only fantasize a Bannon/Musk brawl, and that someone records it.
ReplyDeleteYour new towel warp is beautiful and the new cupboard doors even more so. As to the orange menace, I will invent my opposition as I go.
ReplyDeleteI feel we have to pay attention, but plan to reach outside myself and help those in need and issues of my local community. Be the good, if you will.
ReplyDeleteI am with you! What we CAN do is contact every Congressional democrat and President Biden, VP Harris, Democratic Governors and others who can pressure Biden to get the National Archivist to certify and publish the ERA in his las 60 days in office. All the necessary states have ratified it and it must be added to the constitution immediately. Women need Constitutional protections now more than ever!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a time! Here's hoping we can weave our way through it. I can't believe how perfect the door cabinet turned out, and how clever you were to think of splitting the door like that! I am always so happy when you post something. (And your dog is a princess cloud.)
