still stitching ....

Image

Months have passed...
Time moves ever forward ....

and covid19 still rages across my city, my country, my world.

So I focus on the little things as I take each day, one at a time, as it comes.
I am still stitching here.

It is soothing to be creating something with my hands.

And moments scattered in-between, I make masks.

Stay safe.
Stay home.
Wear your masks.

My current wanderings ....

Currently, the world is awash with a fast traveling coronavirus causing a worldwide pandemic. 
Sadly, it has reached my home town ....  
I've been safely self-quarantining and am hopeful others will do the same soon even thought it is not mandated by any government official... yet. 

Will social distancing and self-quarantining help to successfully flatten the curve experts are concerned with?

I have no idea. 

Time will tell.

While this is a Hawaiian block made of my own design, it is giving me pause .... 
should I try to make a another that resembles covid19? 

I'm just not sure .... what do you think?

Meanwhile my current wanderings have been around my neighborhood and also across the keyboard of my laptop. I am learning new digital skills - how to make and share YouTube videos (perhaps I'll create my own station too?); how to set up and post information into my Toddler classroom on Google Classroom; how to create a private group on WhatsApp for my current toddler class and how to establish an account for ZOOM cloud meetings. In fact, I have three meeting meetings (or is it four?) scheduled for tomorrow?
Busy busy me.

Soon a new normal may set in --  I am hopeful that it will be a new normal that allows solid blocks of time to sew, to create, to daydream and possibly even to nap now and again.

Stay safe everyone!
Keep socially distant ..... 
let's hope this corona virus, covid19, passes by quickly and leaves us for good. 
See you there - in the future when we can hug and be together in gatherings of many sizes.

I hope to have numerous  completed projects to show you then too,
 ... once we are on the other side of this pandemic.
