Special request


Daughter Carol requested some special face masks made out of fabric she purchased last year from Spoonflower. These fabrics truly reflect Carol's personality! She has loved Claude Monet ever since I can remember. She's also a big fan of Queen Elizabeth I.


Carol teaches AP European History, and the French Revolution is one of her favorite topics. Yes, there are two Queen Elizabeth I masks!


I was able to make two different looking face masks out of the same piece of fabric. Carol is also a big Jane Austen fan. She requested that Pride and Prejudice be front and center. I was happy to comply!


Carol also loves teaching about the Victorian Era, so I'm not surprised that she chose this fabric with old fashioned bicycles and street lamps.


Mom and I delivered the masks today. As Carol was going through them, I realized I hadn't made her Rasputin mask. It's possible that I had a mental block about making that mask. I think Rasputin is one of the creepiest figures in history. However, I will make the mask because it is what Carol wants.


I hadn't touched my Pastoral Lace Knit Shawl in weeks. I made a mistake, and after two days of trying to find the mistake (with no luck) I set the shawl aside and moved on to other projects. Last night I sat down with the shawl and found the mistake after about 20 minutes. I'm now back on track!
