It's the day we share our workspace, with all who are involved with our hostess Julia HERE
My Desk:
Continuing to 570
the desk today : well well, well : BLOGGER changed it's format and it's Icons.
It was a process but I got a couple. Last week I made some Face Masks 2 from bandanna's and 2 from left over scraps.. You tube is a great help and glad to have had the info.
A first for using a new heavy duty machine. It was great, no computerized info to read about operating and threaded up very easy. I'd love to take a class for a serger. I've had it 2 yrs and yet to figure it out.
My desk today, from play yesterday, trying out some new stamps and dies. The layering kind, not a fav, had 14 stamps to make 4 different flowers. A few things have opened up for us here.
Church is all video. Grocery stores (I don't go) a total kaos DH is great about taking a list and wants things to do. A few restaurants, limited seating. Our little near by town has great food and not much population so we had a great fish sandwich with some awesome french fries Sunday. Went for a drive around the area. Farmers are pretty much finished with planting corn and beans. Perfect weather.
I see no place to download from phone. So did it the old fashions way ~!~ Wishing you all sanity at it's best, Stay Safe and thanks for your comments and visits.

Hello Sylvia! I am embarrassed to say how long I have had my sewing machine and don't know how to use it. It is on my list of things to learn. I would love to make simple things like pillow covers and maybe some curtains. But I never seem to get around to it. That's fantastic that you made some masks. I have some friends and family that have made some masks. Nothing beyond essential is open here and even if they were, I would be to nervous. My husband does the grocery shopping every two weeks. I did go last week to Lowes with my husband to pick up soil, seed and look at new stoves. Mine has died and it's time for a new one. But other than that, I stay home. Stay well.

Sergers scare me! I often wonder if I'd get any use from one but don't think I have any real need. My sewing machine is like yours, no computers just a solid workhorse and it has really been worth its weight in gold these past few months. Your masks look great, love the fabrics. I'm glad you and hubby got out even if for a short time, bet the fish was yum. All our restaurants are still shut in the UK for now, you can get takeaway food but my family aren't bothered much about it so we all take turns cooking.
Glad you're safe and well,

I am not too keen on the new blogger format either Sylvia, but it doesn't seem to give you the option of sticking with the old one. Well done with the masks. I still haven't got round to making any. Your desk looks busy. Layered stamps are slow but make great flowers. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #5
Good to hear you have been able to get out a bit Sylvia, Shop days are still pretty much the same for me as I always do my Mum/MIL's shop every week but I really could do without the queues. I think lots will be cautious when lockdown is lifted here in the UK. Your masks look great, I love my machine it does exactly the job I need it too.
I've not clicked that *Try the new blogger* link.. i'm hoping it will just disappear. Take care & stay safe Tracey #6
my blogger hasn't updated yet. sounds like that is a good thing! Hope you get to grips with your new machine. take care and stay safe.. Helen #1
Well aren't you the clever girl making your masks. My sister is a Nurse Practioner at a nursing home and she has made many many masks for everyone there. She is even making me a couple!
Hi Sylvia. Those flowers look great, but I rather imagine they are incredibly time consuming? A meal out! Oh my!!! What a treat.
Take care of yourselves. Stay safe. God bless.

That's a lot of stamps for 4 flowers! I have some of these sets and I am a bit on the fence about them, although when it all works well they can be quite stunning. Glad you've been able to get out and about - we are NW London so really not venturing out much and not in a hurry to do so. Just enjoying our lovely Spring weather in the garden. I hate change - so new blogger has no interest to me, dreading having to change things! Hope you get the photos sorted! Happy WOYWW, Stay safe, stay well, Cindy #18
I love the masks....I really must learn how to use a sewing machine at some point! Stay safe and well, with love and God Bless, Caro xxx (#17)
Hi Sylvia, my sewing machine rarely sees the light of day, I'm afraid. Lots of nice projects on your desk I see.Have a lovely week, stay safe, Hugs, Shaz #8 X
