It's been about a million days since I last posted.
In that time I have :
pulled out the weeds from the area formerly known as the raised beds
done same with 3/4 of the planting bed on the west side of the house. The remaining bit isgoing to be a while longer, as it is infested with poison ivy. Once the Roundup takes care of that bit ofgrowth, I can get rid of the rest of whatever is out there. (I think it's goldenrod). I've been making a list of bulbs and perennials I want to put in to take the place of the poison ivy and crown vetch that tend to overwhelm the area.
I've collected about 7 yards of various fabrics intended to become masks, but haven't gotten far with making them. I did complete 12 earlier on in the pandemic, but they're lined with flannel as per the request of local law enforcement and I find them quite uncomfortable. There is some nice white cotton muslin in the sewing room ready to be made in to linings now.
I just need to make it up to the sewing room and actually, like...sew. The room is still a certifiable hoarder zone, which makes it unappealing. I've done some work, organizing magazines and weeding out duplicates and projects that I'm never going to actually get around to making. That's been a bit of a help.
I'm finding it hard to cope with the fact that it's September, when it seems like this self-quarantine/isolation/social distancing has been going on for decades.
Yep. That's pretty much the whole past few months. Oh- I decided to let my hair grow out to its natual color of gray. I applied a pale blonde that included a color-stripper to make the regrowth line a bit less drastic, and so far I'm okay with the change. At some point I'll go in to a salon and have them do a better job of stripping the rest of the color and applying a silver toner but I'm not in a rush since the only people who see me are my husband (who likes it the way it is), my trainer, and the occasional waitress or cashier.
here's hoping for a lovely Labor Day weekend for all, with no riots and no Corona spikes.
