...Because the pandemic isn't over. Even though a lot of people seem to be bored with it. A friend of ours shared this song on Instagram recently and I think it totally sums up where we are as a country (unfortunately):
And so, I'll keep staying home, sewing masks. At the end of July, I sewed my 100th mask, and set a new goal of 200 - which I think I'll meet pretty easily, now that I have figured out an efficient system that works in our new apartment. And I keep ordering fabric because I keep finding more fun prints that I want to wear on my face.
Attention, mask-haters: it's actually kind of fun if you can express your personality with your face mask. I believe that's what's known as making lemons out of lemonade?! I mean, look at these two nerds doing a drive-thru coffee pickup:
We keep all of our clean masks hanging by the door so that we can grab & go on our way out - and then I also keep ziploc bags with clean masks in my purse and, now that we own a car again, the glove compartment of our car.
And since we have quite the mask wardrobe™ at this point, I have been gifting lots of masks to friends, family and essential workers in our area. I've been very fortunate to have steady employment through all of this, so donating masks to anyone who needs them is my small way of giving back.
Anyway, I hope everyone is staying healthy, staying safe, and staying home whenever possible.
