Connection trouble

I was having trouble connecting to Blogger last night and this morning. I switched to a different browser and now I can post, but everything looks different! Were changes made yesterday? I guess I have something to research today!


I love zipper pouches and I tend to collect ones I really like. You just never know when you'll find a use for them! I had bought these last year when I was teaching high schoolers how to crochet. Even though I only worked with a small group, I was prepared for more to join in!

It turns out that these zipper pouches are perfect for holding face masks! I started making some for my four daughters, Mom, and myself yesterday. I'm also going to make some for my son-in-law. I have ten masks for each of the three little grandchildren. My plan is to finish three masks each for my three older grandaughters, and for the adults.

I found some really nice elastic on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08962WGV7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). It's a soft braided elastic, easy to sew, and quite stretchy. I've added pony beads to make the elastic straps adjustable, an idea I read on Sweet Red Poppy. 


I made a little more progress on my Harmony Tat-along from Tat-a-Renda. Daughter Carol came over for a short visit yesterday, and when she left I didn't feel motivated to anything. So, I just was lazy!


Mom has been busy weaving placemats and table runners. We found some packages of fabric strips that I had purchased on clearance at Hobby Lobby years ago. Mom was pretty happy to get three 12" x 15" placemats out of each package. It's fun to watch her weave. She has a technique down for weaving these beauties, and I have the benefit of learning by watching!
