So, something is better than nothing ;) <br />As I cannot obtain the proper fabrics that would make the best mask, I made mine out of sheets which are, at the very least, 300count weave. 2 layers adds a certain degree of protection ... dastardly to machine stitch through !!! I've made more and am mailing to family. <br />I am finding that when I go to my 'studio' and shut the door, hubby respects my art enough to leave me un-bothered ;) and I turn up my virgin radio station and enjoy my alone time for a few hours ... so we're working it out ! The only difficult time is when we need to eat ... I hate any minute wasted in the kitchen and he's just old-fashioned enough to think that this is MY job !!! I make good coffee and he's taken up making bread (by hand and machine), so we're doing fairly well :)))))) He's realizing that we won't starve and that it doesn't hurt to participate.<br />Enjoy your walks and breathe in all that un-polluted air !Threadpainterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00575214840766105122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5199320800173971648.post-89329932737427112020-04-12T03:17:42.443-04:002020-04-12T03:17:42.443-04:00Your mask is very fetching!

Opinion on the subject seems to be divided!<br /><br />I sympathise with you over retirement. It needs to be learnt! We've had 12 years of it and have worked out how to give one another space and to ignore (largely) those irritations we never noticed before. But 24 hours a day with almost no break at all from one another's company is a whole new place. Those walks we're allowed for exercise I take on my own and find myself enjoying them with a new sort of pleasure, especially when the sun shines - they're saving my sanity!<br />Stay safe and healthy. <br />Charlton Stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052815242463837033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5199320800173971648.post-82796192570115214252020-04-11T16:13:50.638-04:002020-04-11T16:13:50.638-04:00Familiar feeling : the laziness ... nothing seemed...Familiar feeling : the laziness ... nothing seemed to be working ...<br />Though just now I found I had to make something (stitched) for a dear friend who is terminally ill.
