I hope it will be the last mask you make but I think the worst is yet to come if the doctor’s are correct
Well, the Dr’s have not been 100% correct yet, so I am not worried. Remember, a rise in cases does not equate serious cases, it means more people are being tested and we still have over 90% of cases being mild, asymptomatic, or recovered. Look at hospitalizations for true impact. > >
hospitalizations are up in a lot of places that is what they are looking at – especially in my area right now – I hope you are right but I think we will have a lot more cases before the year is up – I hope you and your family stay safe – so far mine is all ok
There are just too many factors that go into this to justify a blanket shutdown across the nation. My hometown has only had 6 deaths, it’s the 3rd largest city in the state. The small town next door has had 29, their spike was nursing home related, so that right there tells me it is a deadly virus for at risk population, not general population. > >
Love the baby mat!
It is adorable. > >
Way to go on those wedding toppers! You’re almost there!
I know I can!!! But I still have to find a pattern for the wedding ring runner! LOL > >
The photo mat is SEW sweet! Stress shopping? I can totally see that. Congrats on the final approach for the wedding topper project!
Well, it wasn’t exactly stress shopping, LOL! I knew he was in excellent hands and would be fine. Thanks! > >
Well done for a week without time to sew! Love the baby mat, and bravo for the 20 made out of 22 😉
Thanks! I can’t believe the wedding is fast approaching!!! I should be more nervous, but I am sure that will come in a week or so. > >
I said I was done making masks too – but then my cousin needed 2, and then a friend needed a couple. Hopefully I’m done making them now. I’m sure each one you made was appreciated. So glad you are completing that wedding sewing with some time to spare! Enjoy that wedding!
I am sure if someone asks I will make them, but it’s more that I really do not believe the cloth masks are an effective deterrent to viruses, and there are many Drs who say the same. They cause headaches and migraines for my daughters, and cause me to be light headed, so I’m kind of anti masks at this point. > >
Hi,
Great projects your working on.
Have a great day!
Thank you!! I am losing my mojo, so trying to not let things fall behind! > >
Hi Chris! Good job on the knitting! Yay you. ~smile~ Roseanne
LOL, yes a whole 23 yards of yarn knit in 1 week! Oh well, it’s not like I need a shawl right now. > >
I am SO over face masks! Once again I’m way behind on blog reading and I seem to be catching up by reading them all out of order. I hope your husband’s procedure went well.
It did, but now he is likely in the throes of a bladder infection. Not a happy camper! Waiting for the Dr’s office to call, but I am pumping cranberry juice in him. > >
Sounds like one of those weeks with lots of stress and medical drama. Those are definitely not fun. You’ve done well to keep up with the 15 minutes each day. Congrats on having all but 2 of the table toppers done. That has to feel good. Hope this week is a bit calmer.
Thanks, he’s been through the ringer, still fighting some issues, but hopefully they clear up. > >
