SUMMARY: The speaker discusses their journey into crafting, inspired by their grandmothers, both skilled seamstresses. Initially a Broadway performer, they shifted focus during the pandemic, creating jewelry and quilt bags from broken vintage china for their wedding. The crafting business grew, selling at markets, and the speaker relishes customer validation. They emphasize the importance of learning handcrafts, as many traditional skills are lost in today’s machine-driven world. Making items by hand brings a sense of accomplishment. You can connect with their small business, “Not Your Granny’s,” on Instagram and Facebook, with an Etsy shop coming soon.

SUMMARY: Asian needle ants, an invasive species from East Asia, have been spotted in at least 17 states, including Mississippi and Texas. These ants deliver a painful sting that can pierce clothing and inject venom causing severe allergic reactions like anaphylaxis, which may lead to swelling, breathing difficulties, and rapid heartbeat. At least three people in Georgia required hospitalization after stings last year. Unlike the non-dangerous Joro spider recently spreading through the Southeast, the Asian needle ant poses a serious health risk. Experts warn residents to remain vigilant to prevent these ants from nesting and spreading further across the U.S.

The Asian needle ant has been spotted in several U.S. states, including Mississippi.

SUMMARY: Today’s First Alert Weather Kid is Anna Catherine (6/17). Katherine submitted today’s drawing, which shows rain falling with a person standing outside. The person’s umbrella appears to have blown away, and they look surprised, saying, “Oh no!” Many can relate to this scene, especially after the heavy rainfall that moved through yesterday. Thank you, Katherine, for your photo submission. You can submit your own pictures just like Katherine did. Stay tuned for more updates on the rest of the week’s weather on the other side of the break.
