We're finding a common theme of face masks lately!
Harmony and Kathryn gave advice from their mask-making, and Twins' chatted about her plans for sewing some. Harriet has been making more. Booksaver is making a different kind for her that she hopes will be good for long workdays.

Nancy is experimenting with knitting, finished a shawl and shrug, and learned to make toeless socks! (Smile)
Booksaver sewed baby sleep sacks and kitty sleep mats for comforting charity.
Kathryn created an amazing space-travel cake for a happy boy.

What does your Creative Calendar show for November?

I have the spinning wheel upstairs and a bag of wool is carded and ready for me to spin up.

I have been enjoying fruty knitting pod casts. But they are an hout plus 15 min. Long.
Made a few pillow cases this week.
Some knitting & crochet but none of those projects are complete.

I took a photo of a couple other face masks so if I get my ducks in a row I'll post them. Some (not enough) straightening and decluttering of crafting things.

Dd's projects are a little bit of everything. She made hanging art of a grid of connectors she printed on a machine at the lab and Dremel-tooled here at home. That hung behind me in sewing area for a while but came down after she made her video of it for class. She has sketching going of a book on armadillos (assignment to illustrate this) and the interiors for the haunted shack is another assignment. A broken chair is being reimagined as an odd piece of art/sculpting.

Pros & cons : I have been using a face shield instead of a mask, it takes up more room when not in use, and I had to find a spot to hang it up by the door, and often needing to go back in for it often forgetting it. Winner because of my eyeglasses. However cloth maaks fit in my purse I have extras still in wrapper for just in case I forget one or granddaughter needs one.
