becoming more quiet

My life is still revolving around my sewing machine.  The requests for face masks has slowed down but it is still going on.  I still am sewing every day.

I am going with my Beloved and Koda Bear next week to visit my Dad and he asked for face masks.  Again, more face masks.  I just hope I guessed the right size.  I am taking my patterns with me in case I need to remake them.  I have made over 150 so far.  And some of the chefs I know have seen my skeleton fish fabric.  There are more requests coming.  Most of them know I am traveling.

I did take time for myself over Mother's Day.  I made myself a wrap skirt out of two dresses I used to wear to my office job.  I will never wear those dresses again so I repurposed.  I may potentially run out of thread during all of this staying at home.  I will go to eBay for it before I buy new.  

Part of the difficulty for me sitting down to write at the computer during this time is both how much work I have and how much I am helping Koda Bear with school.  I am spending a lot of time on the computer with him.  I would teach his classes differently.  But I am here and not the teacher.  We will get through.

Traveling next week is going to be interesting.  But I will be glad to see my Dad.  We also plan to go to the mountain and I am looking forward to that a lot.  The next time a stay at home order occurs, I hope to have a cabin on the mountain.  That is where I will stay at home next.
