My forum for all things stitch (knitting, sewing, embroidery) and occasional snarky comments about politics or my research. Sometimes photos of my favorite little beasts even sneak in.
I am a feminist crafter who loves political wonks and a good bagel. I spend a lot of time making lists and counting stitches.

Yeah, you - the one who stole all our seedlings from the community garden plot. Did you know that you took them from an UNEMPLOYED PERSON who was actually banking on EATING this summer?!

grrrr. that SUCKS.
Stole seedlings?? WTF?!
Someone stole your SEEDLINGS?!
From a *community* garden?!
That is seriously f-ed up and twisted.
How RUDE!
Are you sure it was a person? I'm sure a small woodland creature would find your seedlings to be a great snack.
In any case, that sucks.

Wow how lame and incredibly rude.
I'd kick em sqwah in da nuts for you if I could.
Oh my! I did have some creatures eat my seedlings before but not every last one of them! And you can normally tell when it is critters, they just dig it all up in each little hole.
So much has happened for you this last month or so...it was great to come by and visit your blog and see all the exciting things going on with you. Hope you are loving the new place and Chicago!
Well, they weren't so much seedlings as 2-foot plants. I keep calling them 'seedlings' because Rock Star grew them with such great care all by himself from seed.
:-(
They were big enough to leave some sign if a woodland creature did it. My friend Greg just sent me this story about plant-nabbing in the DC area.
Grr. Argh. Hopefully they will be the victim of karmic revenge and the seedlings will turn into that plant from Little Shop of Horrors.
Bastards. Raised. By. Wolves.
What kind of ass clown pulls a stunt like that?
I'll box up the leftovers in the kitchen and send them to Chicago.
Boo.
This is not isolated, sadly.
In the apartment complex where I used to live, I had plants on my patio. Had some nice big hanging baskets of petunias - they made the place prettier, some of them were red and attracted hummingbirds.
One day they were gone. I thought, well, maybe someone needs them more than I did.
Later that evening, taking a load of trash to the dumpster, what did I find? My plants, in the dumpster. Someone took them and threw them away solely to be hateful. I mean, they were SMALL, TASTEFUL baskets. They were inside my patio area. It wasn't like I had the Ugly Plants from Hell spread all over the complex.
They took them and trashed them because they could.
I can't stand my fellow humans some times.
