Pink Pussy Hats and Not Jurying for Memorandum Monday
































Remember last week when I was talking about possibly having to go to Jury Duty? Well, I called on Friday night and they didn't have any cases! Must be everyone was too busy watching all the news around swearing in our new president and knitting their pink pussy hats. So anyhow, my unhappy mail was then happy!

As far as the hats go & marching, I am all kinds of impressed that a civil rights movement involves a craft project. In fact, I hope that there is sparkly yarn so you can kinda knit in some glitter with your hat. In all seriousness,  I will say that it seems as far as numbers go that it's a rather dumb ass move to alienate all the minorities. It's like spare change, if you add it all up you might just find out you have more than you thought. Not to mention, aren't women half the population?



Anyhow, onto other things that are pink, like these cards! Both are heading to my friend Starlene who is hanging out on her couch with a bum foot. I am sending her one to enjoy and one to send along to someone else after she adds her own sentiment. I'm also including some tea, because well, tea rocks. As does super thick gold glitter and butterflies! (Thanks Lizzy!)

So Monday, here's to you for a fresh start! A wave to my friend Sian, our host for Memorandum Monday who is far away from the US and probably watching our shenanigans with her own cup of tea and ball of yarn. Also a big thanks to the Pink Pussy Hat Peeps for making their voices heard in peaceful assembly all the while looking stylish, displaying one of our greatest freedoms.

  2. Your cards are fab! Wasn't the hat thing genius? If you want one, you only have to ask. I'm thinking it's not too late: I hope everyone keeps on wearing them.

    Have a great jury free week Mitra

  5. Those shenanigans going on over there are certainly getting a lot of attention over here in the UK! It's taken Brexit off the headlines, that's for sure.
    Those cards are just so pretty, your friend will be thrilled to receive them.
