How have I not updated for 52 weeks? This year has been a complete blur. After the longest winter we’ve had since moving here 30 years ago – it was 69 on the First Day of Summer here, when it’s usually 90+ – to a summer of storms and straight-line … Continue reading Wait, What?

I’d like to say I’ll miss it, but to be honest, I don’t think I will – it’s been a lot like 2020 Part 3. It was a weird year for weather – the garden was pretty much a bust, as it either would not rain, … Continue reading Countdown to 2023]]> https://rifestitch.jaysez.org/2022/12/countdown-to-2023.html/feed 1 https://rifestitch.jaysez.org/2022/06/the-year-of-the-sal-a-mid-year-update.html https://rifestitch.jaysez.org/2022/06/the-year-of-the-sal-a-mid-year-update.html#comments <![CDATA[Karen]]> Thu, 02 Jun 2022 18:54:46 +0000 <![CDATA[Update]]> <![CDATA[Chatelaine]]> <![CDATA[cross stitch]]> <![CDATA[finish]]> <![CDATA[update]]> https://rifestitch.jaysez.org/?p=2976 <![CDATA[Look at me, updating less than 6 months since the last one! The benefit of taking a few days off of work is having time (or being sure to make time) to put a post together. I still have no idea how I used to do this every week, though I had less to update … Continue reading The Year of the SAL – a Mid-Year Update]]> https://rifestitch.jaysez.org/2022/06/the-year-of-the-sal-a-mid-year-update.html/feed 3 https://rifestitch.jaysez.org/2021/12/of-chatelaines-and-other-amusements.html https://rifestitch.jaysez.org/2021/12/of-chatelaines-and-other-amusements.html#comments <![CDATA[Karen]]> Tue, 28 Dec 2021 21:54:20 +0000 <![CDATA[Beads]]> <![CDATA[Chatelaine]]> <![CDATA[cross stitch]]> <![CDATA[halloween]]> <![CDATA[ink circles]]> <![CDATA[Mill Hill]]> <![CDATA[Ornaments]]> <![CDATA[purple]]> <![CDATA[Update]]> <![CDATA[beads]]> <![CDATA[finish]]> <![CDATA[Halloween]]> <![CDATA[Ink Circles]]> <![CDATA[mandala]]> <![CDATA[update]]> https://rifestitch.jaysez.org/?p=2917 <![CDATA[Well, here we are at the end of yet another year, and as bad as 2020 was, I can’t say 2021 was much better. On the global stage, the world is currently embroiled in a catharsis unlike any previous; civil liberties are being lost on an unprecedented scale, all in the name of “safety”, as … Continue reading Of Chatelaines and Other Amusements]]> https://rifestitch.jaysez.org/2021/12/of-chatelaines-and-other-amusements.html/feed 4 https://rifestitch.jaysez.org/2020/12/year-of-the-dragon-patriots-and-other-things.html https://rifestitch.jaysez.org/2020/12/year-of-the-dragon-patriots-and-other-things.html#comments <![CDATA[Karen]]> Thu, 31 Dec 2020 21:40:02 +0000 <![CDATA[cross stitch]]> <![CDATA[ink circles]]> <![CDATA[Update]]> <![CDATA[dragons]]> <![CDATA[Ink Circles]]> <![CDATA[Long DOg]]> <![CDATA[Pandemic]]> <![CDATA[Patriot]]> <![CDATA[sampler]]> <![CDATA[TW]]> https://rifestitch.jaysez.org/?p=2871 <![CDATA[I wasn’t sure I was ever going to post another update, as my last update created too much opportunity for harassment from the thought police, since being a conservative in America is to be persecuted openly and loudly at every opportunity.
