FOOD & FIBER FLOOZIE
The continuing adventures of a floozie...
I am a 70 something Yankee, now blissfully retired in South Carolina. My husband spends his time golfing and painting and drawing, while I love all crafts and lots of baking. I sell most of my crafts to raise money for various charities, and my food goes out to lots of my neighbors and friends. Why am I a floozie? Because I am so easily seduced by the next new recipe and/or the next new and shiny yarn or fabric that I see. It's always fun to try something new!

Dresses for Iris's girls, SCCL Decorating, Susan's birthday, Merry Christmas!!!
The internet is branding tRUMP a big baby after his attempt at wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, that sent social media into a frenzy. Instead of promoting brotherhood, unity, and peace on the auspicious occasion, the POTUS criticized political opponents in his Christmas message. He took to X on the holiday and wrote, “Merry Christmas to all, including the Radical Left Scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our Country, but are failing badly. We no longer have O

During an interview earlier this month on POLITICO's "The Conversation" with Dasha Burns, Donald Trump went on a racist and unhinged rant insisting that birthright citizenship is meant only for the babies of slaves. While that was the original purpose, the Supreme Court expanded birthright citizenship to immigrants in United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898). 8647 ***************************************** Michael packed the car up for me Thursday morning (12/18). I replenish

Iris's 2nd totally finished quilt, caramel corn, Janice's totally finished quilt
Donald Trump is becoming that dotard. More so — he's becoming that crotchety old relative you avoid at holiday gatherings. The grubby sexist who, when not ranting and spouting all manner of insults, falls asleep at the table. Can anyone pull him back? 'Quiet, piggy.' That was the slur heard round the world. Trump was apparently so rattled by Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey, who dared ask about the Epstein files, that he lashed out the way he used to — the reflexive, disgus

Plus…..2 of my remaining candies need a working fridge…..so I decided a day in the studio is JUST what the doctor ord

And people wonder why the incidence of violence has gone up in America.....with a ''leader'' like this, it is no wonder: President Trump on Thursday suggested several Democratic lawmakers be punished by death for encouraging US troops to disobey illegal orders that the administration might issue. "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH," Trump wrote in a social media post, responding to a video from six members of Congress who previously served in the military and intellig

President Trump said Tuesday that he "could be" seeking $230 million from his own Justice Department as compensation for past investigations into him. "All I know is that they would owe me a lot of money. But I'm not looking for money," Trump said in the Oval Office, adding that he'd give away the money to charity or use it to renovate the White House . Though many of the details remain unclear, Trump acknowledged the unprecedented nature of the situation in which he would be

I cannot imagine a more childish or disgusting response to the THOUSANDS of NO KINGS rallies, than posting a video of yourself, in a crown, (ostensibly) dumping feces on the American people. This is the President of the United States. This certainly shows what tRUMP thinks (or doesn't) about the millions of people who are so upset with what is going on that they continue to have these peaceful protests. It doesn't affect him in any way, and this is the person who is ''leadi
