 When did I post last?


I can't remember. I guess I'll have to look it up.


What's been going on since then?  Mostly Covid  😓 and Covid-related sewing, like masks, although I've not gotten too far along with those.  I have fabric for about 1000, but motivation to just pet the fabric.  (I have some REALLY good fabric!)

I haven't seen my kids since last Thanksgiving, haven't seen my smocking pals since June, except for one lunch meeting with my chapter VP last month; masked and distanced. 


I lost my best buddy, Kali, 2 weeks ago to Feline Squamous Cell Carcinoma.  She was diagnosed in early September, and gone in November.  I miss her.  


The Christmas dresses I started for my +2 nieces are still in bits up in the sewing room.  I have a week to finish them for this year!  There's pleeeenty of time, right?  I'm also still working on a silk reticule, a lace baby bonnet, a christening gown that was for a baby born 18 month ago who got cheated out of his baptism by The Plague but is now expecting a sibling, so there are now TWO garments to make.  The older one will get a button-on suit rather than a gown, as he's likely to be 2 years old by the time they can schedule a ceremony.  I'm guessing it will be a double-do, so the baby will get a gown.  I'm really hoping we don't have to wait til these kids are 7 and 5 to get them baptized!

If I have readers, I hope you are well and chugging along during the restrictions without a lot of problems.
