Happy Mother’s Day to all

Yesterday we went to the Air Port to pick our Son and Daughter In Law. It is being revamped. It was designed to be easy to get to your flight and the baggage areas, but there is little space where you can watch the planes come in. Now with this virus there were very littleContinue reading “Happy Mother’s Day to all”

New Day, New Ways

This last week has been full of ups and downs as we are used to being on the go more. I have some very mixed feelings about everything opening up. But like a small child taking baby steps we are taking those wobbly baby steps finding out what the “new Norm” will be. In MarchContinue reading “New Day, New Ways”

A little of this and that

As of today we have made 830ish masks and have let things go. Yesterday was a cleaning day and I did get a little quilting done. Before I started mass mask making I joined a Facebook Quilt a long which started in Italy. It has been so much fun but I got way behind. YesterdayContinue reading “A little of this and that”

Looks like a break in masks

As I was dreaming of making masks at night and sewing them during the day, all else went by the wayside. Now it seems that as though there is a slow down to this and granddaughter who is a CNA at a hospital has asked for headbands with buttons on them. The nurses here areContinue reading “Looks like a break in masks”

Busy times, but for sad reasons

As I write this I realize just how Blessed we are. Our area in Missouri isn’t seeing a lot of the virus, but hear about it constantly. It scares and worries me. We have a daughter in law and Granddaughter who work in hospitals and pray for their safety. I felt very helpless and thatContinue reading “Busy times, but for sad reasons”

Crazy Times

I never thought that we would have to wear masks out in public, no handshakes or hugs, and standing 6 ft from another. Meetings on line, shopping on line( I am a toucher, I need to feel fabric before I buy it). It is hard for me to be positive and not allow myself toContinue reading “Crazy Times”

So Far So Good

We are staying in and trying to be good. It is amazing how we take the small things in life for granted. Today Mary(daughter) and I were making masks and “Miss Thing” 5 yr old Destiny’s nick name now, was out in the back yard playing. She comes running in and telling us that ourContinue reading “So Far So Good”

Not much sewing lately

The last 2 days have been full and not a lot in the sewing room. We had our yearly furnace/air conditioner inspection done and there were a few questions with the electrical wiring done. We called an electrician out and bottom line we HAVE to update the wiring in the house. This has now involvedContinue reading “Not much sewing lately”

Self Isolation

This week our area has been staying home more and have finally gotten into the routine of not going to exercise, run to this store or going anywhere. My Quild has started making masks for 2 of the hospitals here, but my problem is my stack is disappearing. Granddaughter is still working so 6 foundContinue reading “Self Isolation”

Happy Saturday

Yesterday was a “Pitty me” day. I get those from time to time and two wonderful friends called and we had a good laugh. As a retired person who lives within 3 miles of all my children and most of my grandkids, my life hasn’t changed a lot except the socializing. When I woke upContinue reading “Happy Saturday”
