Doing your part to keep the bees going, thank you ever so much.<br /><br />I sat down in our patio chair today, just for a moment, to wait for Driver to finish bug spraying inside, just like Smitty, I was gone in 2 shakes of a lamb's tail! That's what good strong sunshine will do, I suppose. Or maybe it's the 2 hours only of catnap from the night before.<br /><br />We *think* we have formulated plan B now, although, truth be told, I think we may actually be on plan H by now. We'll miss Papa's hundredth birthday bash, but then again, were not even sure they'll have one!kchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15012014316959117841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-81581806029107188942020-05-11T04:08:10.141-07:002020-05-11T04:08:10.141-07:00It was a very full day for you!

It’s a nice contorted mask that is most requested by friends and family. https://www.craftpassion.com/face-mask-sewing-pattern/#face-mask-pattern I use her original patterns. She has options for ties, elastic , nose wires etc. I highly suggest a nose wire if you wear glasses as it really helps keep forging of your glasses at bay. We may be wearing masks for quite a while. And my feedback is this is the most comfortable one if you must wear one shopping etc. though I find none of the masks to be truly comfortable for me. I must be claustrophobic or something.

Your garden flowers are so beautiful right now! My Mom requested masks with the elastic around the head, like you made for Mike. How long did you make those elastic pieces. I'm doing 7" pieces for the wrap-around-the-ear kind, and my masks start with 6"x9" fabric.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-63419189195885339932020-05-10T06:49:28.624-07:002020-05-10T06:49:28.624-07:00I just ordered Sweet Land of Liberty and I'm b...I just ordered Sweet Land of Liberty and I'm blaming it on you. I've never "colored" on fabric before, but I have your posts as guidelines.<br />Your azaleas are my favorite colors, can't wait to see the white one in bloom; and that rhododendron in the purply color is so pretty. Your garden looks big! Smitty in the cherry tree - lol! Wow on the menu plan - it all sounds delicious.

I never even thought of that, although my elastic supply was gone quickly. I think I'm done with masks now, unless someone asks for some. I love the rhodies and azaleas in your yard, and I cannot wait to see the peonies. I can smell the lilacs. I enjoy seeing it all, as well as the kitties. It is chilly here with rain today, so I'll head to my quilt room. Maybe today - maybe - I'll get the binding on my vintage UFO. Procrasintation, anyone?? I'm sure your family get together was lovely!

I used to love embroidery but now, after just a few stitches, my fingers start to buzz and my wrists seize up. Oh well. I do have two slow embroidery pieces that are partly done, started other times when you inspired me, so I should use this new inspiration to get back to those. And masks, I have made a lot of them, at least a few dozen, and every one looks like an experiment. They are all functional, but clearly my heart isn't into mastering perfection. I have become very much a 'finished is better than perfect' kind of gal.gpchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18054854655973836794noreply@blogger.com
