Join us for a Community Sing-a-long
at the Pine Grove Community House
Dec 8, from 2 – 4pm!

“Now, in the darkest time of the year, let us raise our voices and our spirits!”

It’s time to gather, once again, around the piano to sing holiday and old favorite songs, share refreshments and socialize. Don’t worry if you don’t remember the words or think you can’t sing….everyone is welcome!…and we will project the words on the large screen for all to see. Participants are encouraged, though not required, to bring cookies to share. We will provide hot cider and lots of enthusiasm.

This is a Conscious Aging and Community Connections event. Our intention is to bring people in our communities together, get to know one another at a deeper level, and to encourage one another to live our best possible lives. We look forward to singing with you!!!

Get to Know Your Sewing Machine
with Cindy Erickson

Saturday, November 29, 2025
1:00–4:00 PM
HeartWorks Studio | 395 Nehalem Blvd, Wheeler, OR
Sliding scale: $5–$20 (details below)
Register: www.heartofcartm.org/workshops/p/know-your-sewing-machine

About the Class
Beginner-friendly, hands-on class to learn sewing machine setup, care, and stitching basics—then create something new using reclaimed materials. This class is designed for you to learn on your own sewing machine, so please bring yours to use during the session.

What You’ll Learn
– The basic parts of your sewing machine and what they do
– How to thread your machine and wind a bobbin
– How to adjust tension for smooth stitching
– Essential machine care and maintenance
– How to use basic stitches to complete a simple project

What to Bring
Your own portable sewing machine (in good working order) and its instruction manual.
Scissors and thread will be provided, but you’re welcome to bring your own if preferred.

Please Note
Class begins promptly at 1:00pm. To keep things flowing smoothly for everyone, please plan to arrive a few minutes early to get settled before we start.

Keep in Mind
Learning to sew is like learning to play an instrument—it takes time and practice. Once you understand the basics, your skills (and imagination) will grow with every project. This class is a perfect starting point for future sustainable sewing workshops at Heart of Cartm.
———

At Heart of Cartm, we run on curiosity, coffee, and community, not big budgets. Your registration keeps the gears turning and the scraps flying.

Tinker ($5) — For when your wallet’s light but your creative spark’s still bright
Maker ($10) — Covers the cost of materials and a coffee’s worth of inspiration.
Resourcerer ($15) — Powers the machine so we can continue to offer more reuse magic.

A little early…

I know it’s a little early, but I am hosting a small fundraiser to put towards lovely gifts for strangers on Valentine’s Day. The funds will mostly be used for fresh flowers which can really brighten people’s day. I’m starting early because if I order flowers well before Valentine’s Day I’ll be able to get them at a more affordable price.

I’ll be venturing into Portland for this but have done this prior years here on the coast.

With everything everyone has gone through the last couple of years, random unconditional love can go a long way!

I’ll be teaming up with Kajsa from the Good Mail project (kajsa.love); she’ll be making love letters to pass out!

Open to proposals of sponsorships/ads (such as a business contributing in exchange for sharing stickers or flyers of your business). We just want to be able to share with as many people as possible and see what good it can do!

Please learn more here and contribute if you can, any amount: gofund.me/ecca4d23e

Thank you!

Get vaccinated

Vaccines are safe and our most effective tool against disease.

With the ascendance of anti-vaxxers into the U.S. government, U.S. residents need to be sure we are receiving medical information that is accurate, unbiased and free of propaganda.
Sadly, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and many Federal sources are no longer completely trustworthy as sources of scientific information.

For those of us who are older, the risks of severe illness are higher if we do become sick. With North Tillamook County having an older population we are also at higher risk from the unvaccinated.

Due to vaccine hesitancy, the U.S. is seeing severe outbreaks of preventable diseases this year.

If you have a trusted doctor, they are the primary source of current and safe information.

The American Medical Association (AMA) continues to be rated well for disseminating reliable health information: www.ama-assn.org/public-health

Sources outside of the United States can also be reliable. A comprehensive study on vaccine safety has been published by a Danish source that may be of interest:

Large Danish Study: No link between vaccines and autism or 49 other health conditions
Facts about the study
Researchers from Statens Serum Institut (SSI) used Denmark’s unique health registers to analyze data from more than 1 million Danish children born between 1997 and 2018 to investigate potential long-term health effects of aluminum-containing vaccines.
The study examined 50 different conditions and found no statistical association between aluminum content in vaccines and increased risk of developing autism, autoimmune diseases, asthma, or allergic conditions such as hay fever and food allergies.
The study has just been published in the prestigious medical journal Annals of Internal Medicine.
Source: Statens Serum Institut (SSI)

Hope everyone has a safe and wonderful holiday season.

A Clearing

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: jettkeyser@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
A Community of Peace and Sharing

In all these relations and this time of descending,

it is possible to receive light.

A Clearing

If there is a way to this opening,

it will not be marked.

Crossing over to what is beyond,

carried on the energy of understanding,

the deep caring for our mother earth

and all that is impermanent,

a sacred entrance may be offered .

There will be a clearing where

every being is invited to rest,

appreciate these luminous bodies,

the dust of distant stars twinkling light.
