I signed up for the pink postcard swap on swap-bot, and realized none of the existing postcards were pink enough… I’m not allowed to BUY postcards while this year of postcards is going on, so I located a handful of pink fabrics, including the outrageous pink floral from my youth (I always hear that as "from me yoot" from a book I read long ago). I felt quite pleased with myself for figuring out how to follow, roughly, the outlines of the big pink flowers with embroidery, and then cut the interiors out of a couple. The surface is interesting close up. At least two more pink ones, and the color is getting interesting with use (thanks jude for the pinkspiration)

Poor Alice is having major school stress. I found her weeping in bed this evening. She was dreading school next week. Even though we only have two and a half weeks left, it can’t end soon enough for her. Her comment, "I like being a feral child – I have to be tame all week… 30 hours – it feels like forever". That is the most coherent statement of the issue I’ve gotten out of her so far.
