Day 11, mask making and more knitting

 

Happy Blogmas


I am so wanting some colder temperatures  

These 70’s in the middle of December seems so wrong.

 

Well today I spent sewing on some new face masks for my youngest daughter and myself.

My daughter works at an animal diagnostic lab for the State/federal government. They wore masks before Covid so it’s not a change for her. I made ones this time in Christmas fabric. Been meaning to get these finished last week but I’m a little behind schedule.

I had made her 3 others a couple weeks ago.




These are the ones I made for myself



I like this pattern out of the other ones I’ve tried. Fit’s without slipping down and room to speak and breathe easily.



Just realize how this could pass as a mug shot……LOL

They are comfortable.  I found it on YouTube, I think the channel was called Japanese Sewing Book, free pattern for a 3D masks.

Seeing how the virus is still around, I wear one indoor around crowds. I am due for my booster soon but I believe in being careful.


Here is todays mini and now I think this my favorite 



Would make a beautiful sweater.


I said I would show you a picture of our new Subaru.




Big Blue.

The Ascent is the biggest sized model they have and in order to get “the man of the place”  to ride in the car and not his truck had to get one he felt comfortable in. He always said the Forester was too small for his long body. And it is smaller. 
Look forward to some road trips in the future.  

Till tomorrow 
Kat.

    Your masks are very festive, and it is really smart to continue to wear masks when in public indoors. I like that pattern the best too. I just got my booster a couple of weeks ago. Congrats on the new car!

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl c...
