more face masks

My life right now appears to be revolving around making face masks.  The place I was volunteering with has had problems sourcing materials and then the CDC said everyone should be wearing a face mask.  I am making fabric masks for family, friends, and in my Etsy shop.  The pattern keeps getting tweaked due to face shapes and better fits.  

But my life seems to fit quarantine and staying at home.  I could even do with more solitude.  What helps to keep me sane is a walk a day.  Face mask and hat is a requirement.  If we are under house arrest, that walk a day will be greatly missed.  Maybe just more outside is needed.

I did find that I cannot watch a drama that has an earthquake and rescue in it currently.  Or maybe ten minutes at a time.  My chest gets very tight.  

I am also finding words hard.  But the family is digging up the yard so I have pulled out seeds.  Bread gets made.  Dinner at home.  School on computers, both second grade and college.  I am at my sewing machine a lot.  I wrote on Instagram I am thinking of making myself a dress that I can ecoprint and dye.  Do I need a dress?  No.  Do I need the creativity?  Yes.

I am going to make camping happen when I can.  I also want to go to the Georgia O'Keefe musuem.  Something I was going to do this month but not happening now.  

Everyone stay sane and healthy.  Let me know if I can help.
