corona-cation, episode 6

as the unplanned retreat rolls on, doing my best to avoid the news most of the time.  it's always grim and makes me feel more helpless, so i just don't watch period.  this gives me more time to putter around the apartment and work on my sewing projects and cook those ever-tantalizing low sodium meals!  like many others, have made some masks...

my daughter requested leftover downton abbey fabric for hers and grays to match my son-in-law's work scrubs.....i lined them with a kona white cotton, a tightly woven fabric.  ***  then the black/aqua/white got to the flimsy stage at the same time more batting arrived, so this week's goal is to get that tied and finished for donation....

then, circles around the edge of the joseph's coat got sewn on....have to say these finish much quicker than the circles on the interior of the top...one side was done in short order and another all pinned.  this will get basted this week i'm thinking....

happy now that i finished this as i do like it, altho my mom has claimed it when it's finished....last but not least, got tired of seeing piles of fabric on the sewing table and the floor in various places, so took an hour or so to do this....

the browns go on the top (not seen), so essentially at the same level i have been since moving here 4 years ago....the reds/greens/tans are in those shoeboxes on the right and pieces 2 yards and over--backgrounds and backings--are in the canvas bag on the left.  no surprise that the biggest collection is blue fabrics, light to dark and everything inbetween.   taking stock just about cures me from adding more, altho did cave and purchased half yard of lobster fabric and half yard of blue crab fabric in homage to my "dual citizenship"...    ****  when this began, i had toilet paper so didn't rush to get any and, of course, it's been out of stock everywhere since.  my kiddos came to my rescue with 4 precious rolls which should last until the hoarders think they have enough.
