After the spiders' prompt (finding the inexplicably crawling on me in the car - tiny ones) that I should be spinning - it IS that time of year, after all...I've been spinning.  More hemp and bamboo for facial scrubbies.  The ones I made before are holding up, so I will attempt to make these more attractive and perhaps give them as gifts.

Please repost if you agree that women should be the final decisionmakers in matters of reproductive health care and should not be made criminals for miscarriages or made to carry children conceived in cases of incest or rape.  This measure will be voted on Tuesday in the state of Mississippi, and there are similar measures up for voting in several ( Read more... )
