It's kind of an unusual time right now.....not only with the Covid19, but with this program. No matter what I do, it won't un-underline in the part that I see! The button doesn't work! And, the photos are perfectly lined up from my side. But not when I look at "preview". You probably thought that I just arranged them in a creative way! Who knows what this will look like when I click "publish." Oh well; it's always something!!Anyway, we've all been quarantined for quite some time. The first 2 weeks of the quarantine I happily painted away everyday. Then, I needed a bit more to do. I started sewing masks. These are just a few of the masks that I made. They all went to friends, family and donations.This was actually a lot of fun for me. Maybe I'm a bit of a fabric scrap hoarder, but I had all of these scraps in a huge box. Most of the scraps are from things that the kids and I made through the years. Flannel pajamas that our son made in junior high; shorts that I made for our daughter in pre-school; fabrics that used to be on the family room pillows that were chosen by the kids when they were small; on and on. It became somewhat of a nostalgic project. Also, I might be an elastic hoarder. I had enough elastic to make 45 masks! (Making ties is really time consuming. I didn't like that! And at that point started to lose interest; although I persevered for quite sometime.)I'm now back to painting (and reading, going for walks, and watching Netflix.) I've been working on landscapes for an upcoming show. I have work in two virtual shows this weekend. But, more about that in my next post.
