Just when I was all out of ideas, this guy landed right around the corner. #BalloonFiesta #AlbuquerqueInternationalBalloonFiesta

Hot air balloon shaped like a brain with the different lobes color coded. The balloon basket is on the ground and people sit within and on the sides.

Petunia Pickle Bottom is the Louis Vuitton of diaper bags, as all my real friends know. We hit the secondhand shops today and there was a PPB green and purple peacock diaper clutch in perfect shape for $25. My youngest is 8yo and I’m still considering going back to buy it.

Sounds like the source of the shrimp contaminated with cesium 137 has been identified - a scrap metal factory in Indonesia. My first guess is they were recycling contaminated metals, either unknowingly or intentionally.

Have you ever canvassed for a candidate? I’m very excited about @alexforabq.bsky.social but I’m even more excited about the dogs I met today.

Here’s a progress pic. I used water soluble interfacing. This lets me draw or print a design and easily transfer it to the fabric, and it holds the knitted (therefore stretchy,) fabric in place so the stitching doesn’t warp the material. I embroidered on the inside front of the shirt.

An embroidery hoop in a stand with the black speckled t-shirt held taut. The design is drawn on light colored paper stuck to the shirt.

I found this t-shirt on the free table at Bubonicon, and I can see how it ended up there. I don’t want to walk around with a transphobic billboard on my boobs either. But, this was a good quality shirt in my size! I’m thankful that someone left it on the table instead of throwing it away.
