It has been quite the week. I work for an essential service, so a good part of my weekend was spent working. Move aside stapler, these are now my new office supplies.
There is no hand sanitizer, Lysol wipes, masks, etc. to be found. I decided to try making a mask using a tutorial by Button Counter. I used different widths of elastic -- what I had on hand.
I don't recommend the wider elastic -- it doesn't stay snug around your ears. But in the absence of another option, it's better than nothing.
Last night, I needed some sewing therapy, so at 11:00 p.m., I made a quick needle book.
It didn't take long to make, but it was enough to keep my mind occupied on happy things.
I don't know if I'll find more time to sew this week. Stay safe and healthy friends. #FlattenTheCurve
Sewing therapy certainly helps to calm me. Keep safe and healthy Anja!
ReplyDeleteI hope you can stay safe and healthy, too, Anja. The needle book looks like it was great sewing therapy (and so handy, too). I am happy you used oranges for the masks. :)
ReplyDeleteSewing therapy can really help. So glad you got a chance for a little bit of stitching. Stay safe and healthy! I love thinking of you in those orange masks!
ReplyDeleteI’m with you on there need for sewing therapy but also the lack of focus on my part... I love those masks and planned to make some under the direction of my nurse friend Danielle.
ReplyDeleteDelighted to see that even these have a bright Anja colour . Keep well and keep safe my friend x
ReplyDeleteNice projects - sorry about the need for the masks. I find all of this surreal, as I am sure you do. Wishing you well on the Project Quilting endeavor and managing the new world we are in!
