The 9th Circuit issued a decision in a civil rights/discrimination case against the DPS. You can read about it on the MLSC blog here.
It's good news.
And it will help to shape up our police force. The basic idea--you can't discriminate for locals or against Koreans or other non-locals in delivery of government services.
It would be good if all of our government offices got the message.

Just in case it's possible you're tired of seeing our cracked walls and subflooring...this is a crafts project I made earlier last month and didn't post yet. I bought these pretty barkcloth curtains on ebay and was looking for something to make with them. This is back when we could put our laundry out on the line! This post will also serve as a tutorial if you'd like to make this style of bag.
These are the fabrics I chose:
Here are the pieces cut out, two squares for the lining and two squares for the outside. Then two pieces to seam together for the flap:
This is the flap seamed together then overstitched:
The two squares are sewn together then box corners added to both the outside and lining:
The flap is lined, turned right side out then pressed:
Tuck the flap and handles strap in between your outside and lining and pin in place. I added my label to the outside first:
Voila! A cute case for a small sketchbook and pencil.
And here's the front of the finished case:
I entered this in the sewbeit contest but didn't win... It sounds like the other entries were more creative. But I love the case anyway so it was good to have the contest to motivate me to sew it and take a break from other work. And there's lots more barkcloth so hopefully I'll make some other things with it for the sale.

The old fairy queen hasn't admitted to having a name yet. Bertie is Arabella's brother. The old queen in their paternal grandmother.
Thanks for the tip! I had no idea that Etsy shop names were changable. And the needle case? Super-cute!
Great idea!

Love the needlecase. I spent several hours one day browsing the internet for the right pattern for one but none of them seem to address circular needles as well as straight. Per chance would you give directions on how to make one or sell directions? A friend and I started knitting a year ago and she said I could have her groovy knitting bag she saw first at a Thrift store we were at if I made her a needle pouch. I am a nominal sewer so have been on the lookout for the perfect pattern.
