2/2 I do believe that prayer can be an important spiritual discipline to help people stay on the path they have chosen, but when you add magical thinking to it, it goes very sour.
This quote from Terry Pratchett's "Wyrd Sisters" is possibly the best description of how I think prayer actually works:

Luckily I had saved all of the leftovers from this project. (I have a bin for fabric I save for “patch kits”). So now I’m going to see what I can put together, if you compare the 2 photos you can really see how faded the old pillow covers are.

Tonight’s sewing project is re-making covers for the den couch. I made the originals many years ago and this year the fabric finally gave up after much wear & UV damage.

If the current CR passes the Senate I'll be adding names to the list in my "Primary Me" jar (like a swear jar, but helping me remember to put funds aside to donate to primary campaigns in '26 & '28).

I realized I didn’t have any good photos of the shirt & pants. Since it’s my understanding the first Star Wars costumes were heavily influenced by Japanese historical clothing, I used similar sources to design the shirt (as the only part that was visible in the film was the very 1970s collar).

I used an orange cotton fabric for the shirt and had to design my own stencil to create the pattern on the shirt. My housemate (who's really good at color matching) helped me mix the color for the stenciled pattern (it's a brownish black, not a true black).

This is the full outfit. I patterned and sewed everything except the shoes. It consists of a shirt and pants under the robe and a jacket over the robe.

Two photos taken at the end of my work today. I got the last few rocks placed & spouse came and helped me spread the gravel. I worked on this for 2hr & 46 min (with breaks), & walked 2.1 miles, just in my backyard.

I received the embroidery frame & stand yesterday. After getting it set up I did some work on the more finished of the 2 chair covers. The frame really helps! Thanks so much for the suggestions.

Sharing this slightly awkward statement from the Episcopal Bishops of the diocese of New York because it supports the trans and non-binary community, & affirms that trans, non-binary, & LGBTQI+ people are worthy of love & respect simply by virtue of their existence. (I grew up Episcopalian)

I'm working on finishing #needlepoint chair covers that my grandmother started. I saved them when she died in the 1990s. Any tips on tools that would make the work easier? I've done a lot of different crafts (knitting, sewing, etc) but seeing folk's work here encourages me to ask for tips.

I made what I’m calling a Primary Me jar. It’s like a swear jar but for money I want to give to whoever is willing to take on spineless Dems. I’ve stuck a list of the ones who voted for the Rep. CR to start with. Whenever I feel helpless or angry I’m going to put money in the jar.

Judith actively cutting off the head of Holofernes is one of my all time favorite paintings! Now I can add the Elizabetta Siranii Timoclea painting to that list! Here’s the Artemisia painting if you haven’t seen it:
