Ok US Songbird fans, I think I can continue to ship to the US (I had paused for a few days while I sorted things out!)

US orders will show any extra charges at the checkout and be shipped DPP (duties prepaid), so full transparency and no surprises at your front door!🧶

A red website header that says shipping to US will be available as before with duties prepaid. Below is some lovely bird-inspired yarn based on a Northern Parula.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Everyone they use as a mouthpiece should turn their backs and ignore them.

Tariffs and US shipping

As of Aug 29, 2025, the $800 De Minimus for small package tariffs is no longer in effect. I think I have the setting properly set up to allow smooth shipping via Canada Post/USPS. You will see a $2.00...

Rolling my eyes a bit at our drug “enforcement”; I’m from Palm Beach area. We used to jokingly call some of the fancy cigarette boats docked along the Intercoastal drug runner boats. Never mind some of the billionaire yachts coming in—think they were searched? 😎

The policy says reporters could have their press passes revoked if they publish information that has not been authorized for release by the Pentagon.

The seven social sins are:

Wealth without work
Pleasure without conscience
Knowledge without character
Commerce without morality
Science without humanity
Worship without sacrifice
Politics without principle

Please share with antivax family and friends ahead of those holiday dinners. Lives depend on vaccines. Talk to your doctor if you have questions. RFK Jr & his orange buddy are NOT healthcare professionals and are politicizing our health for political again.

Vaccines

A vaccine is a medical treatment that helps your body’s immune system recognize and fight disease.

Take several bottles of water for washing the chemical weapons out of people’s eyes. Take a disposable or locked phone only. And stay safe.

(The yarn company was good about it, btw. Meanwhile I have an apologetic friend elsewhere trying to send me a gift and realizing it would incur extra expense for me to receive.)
