@tagesschau es kommt nicht von Ungefähr, dass es im Oval Office jetzt aussieht, wie im Schulleiter-Zimmer von #Hogwarts: Wer selbst nicht glänzt, versucht gerne im Licht der Helden der Vergangenheit zu stehen.
Im Gegensatz zu Hogwarts können im #OvalOffice die Portraitierten nur leider ihre Bilder nicht verlassen. Ich bin mir sicher, sie würden vor Scham nicht in das Bild zurück kehren, solange #Trump im Amt ist. #merz #amerika #america

Ah, the Trump administration, always finding new ways to redefine #diplomacy by treating #Harvard like it's #Hogwarts and international students like they're illegal potion smugglers. 🧙‍♂️🚫 Meanwhile, #NYTimes assumes we need JavaScript to comprehend that their content is behind a #paywall – a plot twist worthy of M. Night Shyamalan. 🍿🙄

The New York Times · Trump Administration Says It Is Halting Harvard’s Ability to Enroll International StudentsBy Michael S. Schmidt

This week's #WIPWednesday is me finishing the letters in the banner at the bottom of this #Hogwarts #crossstitch. Now I can concentrate on the coat of arms in the background and, later, on the backstitching.

I actually couch instead of backstitching. I find the lines go where I want them to go more than when I backstitch. If you've ever struggled with getting your thread to sit just right when you're doing the backstitching on a cross stitch project, try couching the strand of thread instead.

Let's see how much I can get done on this today.

I've been working on this #crossstitch on and off since September 30, 2023. It was meant to be a friend's Christmas gift last year, but turns out I miscalculated the number of stitches, and it is twice the amount of work I thought it was. It'll be her gift this year.

That means it's crunch time, now! Let's do this 💪🏻
