Found some really pretty material in skirts, a Holiday vest, dresses, table cloths, curtains, scarfs and sheets. I was able to cut out 40 mask patterns out of one twin bed sheet. I'll use them for linings and filter pockets in my masks. The table cloth is like a brocade and is huge. I'll get a lot of masks out of it. The black and gold skirt is also large and kinda of silky. This haul will keep me busy for a long, long time. I did keep 2 blouses for me but if I don't like the fit they will also become masks.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlp1tXxc38o15Rls29PXUYEvOzOVOxO-OC5P5KFEN-281Pbc73YSMsZ7fhO0Eb70qw0JJlGdf5oZS7GGvEYByDyH5FTqJUwXK1HxnjyOQxXL8Pl7eehBHHginiCs-N_yDdgFOIyqtc3Ug/s2048/20200821_155502.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Now I'm making masks in preparation for the coming winter flu season 6 months away. This last February I had a really bad experience with the flu. Even though I get the annual flu shot I get the flu every year. This winter I plan on wearing a face mask every time I go out which is usually just to the grocery store. <br />
<br />
I continue to wear a mask during this pandemic and hope that others will be considerate and wear one as well. I enjoy sewing the masks and just completed my 100th mask.<br />

Just got burned out. Then recently, our community started a "Terrebonne Parish Rocks" Facebook page. It's an activity where we paint slogans and inspirational sayings on rocks and place them for others to find. Then photos are taken and placed on the Facebook page. It's really a lot of fun. <br />
<br />
Here are some of the rocks I have painted. Just completed my first batch of 36 rocks. Will start putting some of them out in a few days. I'll be saving some to take with me on my camping trip to Texas in November. I like to place one at each campsite I stay at.<br />

Some folks wanted to just stick them in the ground in their garden. Well, I wouldn't recommend that. They are much too pretty to set in the mud and out in the rain and sun. Others wanted to put them in a child's bedroom. Good idea. They will last a very long time indoors.<br />
<br />
Here are some suggestions for hanging the dragonflies.<br />

Met the owner Patricia and had a nice visit. Took a couple of photos of us and one of my paintings she hung up for a photo op. <br />
<br />
Delivered 7 paintings to be placed on consignment for 6 months. What a thrill to have my work in a gallery in New Orleans.<br />

Just finished arranging my Back Porch Studio where it has now become a wonderful work space for my craft work. I had been working at my small table in the kitchen where it was really crowded and hard to have my paints nearby. Now I have lots of room to spread out and my tools are near at hand.<br />
<br />
I purchased a 6 foot folding table, a 5 foot folding table and used my 4 foot camper table to make a "U" shaped work station. I have room for my sewing machine and paint supplies on top and storage under the tables for my inventory. The other side of the room will be for framed canvas paintings that I display on easels. <br />

I attached a light fixture under the shelf over my work station and also have overhead lighting and a table lamp in the corner. I brought my office chair into the studio and it is perfect for moving about while working.<br />

I really love this arrangement and am excited to begin painting once again. Just finished my Alligator Series and plan to do a Childhood Memories, Rocking Chair, and Front Porch Series next.<br />

I'm currently working on a series of alligator paintings that will be used in the children's book I'm writing. This is one called "The Alligator Fight." My furry friend, Ali Cat grabs my chair as soon as I'm out of it. Here she is covering her face. I guess she doesn't like the painting ;-)</div>

I add art work to my <b>Pages</b>, listed at the top, almost every day but not on my home page - so you'll need to check back often.</div>
