This week is cruising along! Today, again, I’ve gotten so much accomplished. A trip to the post office was needed to mail out both jewelry and masks to buyers. I’ve made jewelry since 2009 and fabric face masks since – well, you know when, this April. In addition, I needed to mail thirty new pieces…
Today was spent being happily occupied. I was busy sewing most of the day sans a trip to the dollar store, post office, and bank in town. From 8 o’clock until 12 noon, I worked on making more fabric masks. This afternoon, I was back at it again, with the exception of playing with our…
This is an unusual time, of that there is no doubt. But, in some respects, life must move forward. I have a son moving out, he’s 20 and going to start college again in the fall as a transfer student. He attended a college two states away for a year, as a 2018 HS graduate….
I am hoping that the curbside fad disappears after the pandemic is quelled. Yesterday, I had a short but unorganized experience picking up more fabric for masks. Last week, my sewing machine needle broke. In the middle of making PPE’s and a quilt, it was not good timing. I searched my drawers and came up…
Last year, when I worked for 8 months at a local Land Trust, I stopped most mornings that I headed into work for a latte. Drinking a latte 3-4 days a week was the one way I got milk into me. I am not a fan of this dairy-derived beverage; I never have been. I…
Today, I went to our local grocery store to pick up a few things. My husband offered but I have not been out of the house since last Saturday! I told him that I felt I really needed to go as I was getting a little “loopy” from being housebound. I have been on several…
People I know take shopping road trips all the time. Part of the reason is that we live in a smaller area with less human density. This is a good thing. But, once in a while, it is fun to take a trip to spend a day shopping. This is especially so since no one…
Yesterday, I just didn’t feel good. I had an early morning dental appointment for a cleaning to which I went with a headache. Despite some ibuprofen, the headache persisted for most of the day. By evening, I felt like I had not gotten anything done. Of course, this wasn’t true. I had actually done a…
Recently, I was shopping a consignment store to which I bring some gently used items. I’ve never taken a check from this store but rather, get some “new” items for my house. Until a month ago, I never purchased a gift this way. But, there I was shopping – not really for anything in particular…
