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!

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

New fridge delivered, 2 lap sized quilts quilted, thoughts on over consumption of goods
What a loser....... 8647!!!! *************************** Friday morning (11/28), Michael headed out for a workout and I headed to the studio to load up a couple of quilts. I really can’t do anymore candy until I buy more bags…and today being BLACK FRIDAY, I don’t want to attempt to go out, but maybe after dinner everyone will be shopped out and I’ll go then. Plus…..2 of my remaining candies need a working fridge…..so I decided a day in the studio is JUST what the doctor ord

MESIG Show & Tell, Iris's 1st totally finished quilt, SHQ Show & Tell
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

What a loser....nod off Don........ 8647! ************************************* Tuesday morning (11/11) I was back early at the long arm, stitching away more rows on the emergency quilt. Iris came for her first official quilting lesson: and got all of her strips cut for bindings on her 2 quilts and got most of them sewn together and pressed. She only got to stay for about 2 hours, but little by little we are getting these quilts done. I continued to quilt during the day un

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

BG's visit
Just your daily reminder that the President of the United States openly admits that the 4,000 layoffs of federal employees were done out of spite, not necessity. Members of the military are lining up at food banks because they did not receive paychecks this week, but at least Wall Street investors in Argentina got a $20 billion bailout . ********************************** And the farmers are also in crisis mode due to this one man: US soybean crisis is a 'man-made disaster ca

Travelers waiting in airport security lines across the US will now be met with a new video blaming Democratic lawmakers for the government shutdown. It's a notable departure from standard practice, as TSA checkpoint videos rarely feature political commentary. Are you kidding me? Are there no lengths to which the Republicans will not go? They control the House, the Senate and the White House , and have been told by the Speaker of the House NOT to show up for work....but De
