First of all, our daughter that lives in St. Louis sent me this one last week:
Delta was a happy camper...her mom had to work from home part of the day.
Then today, Lorelei started sending me pics of their babies.
Poor old Otto...he is getting old. I am not sure when he was born but I think in 2007 or 2008. He was a puppy that belonged to neighbor but kept coming to their house. After about the 3rd time of taking him home, they asked the people did they really want him. They didn't, so Sarah and Jeremy just kept him.
And above is Rosie...she is approximately 5 yrs. old.
And of course there is Kitty Soft Paws. She is a little sweetheart.

I have 3 more leaves finished...
We had some sun peeping in and out...was porch sitting temperatures. It is wonderful to be outside without having to wear a jacket.
I don't know if I will ever have enough of these to make much of anything, but the process of making them has been fun...
And the pile is growing bigger...
I have lost count of how many there are. But over 50 for sure.
And I made these from scraps...
One of my daughter's friends, well, she is my friend, too...sent me a link to making these masks. She is a nurse at a hospital in Indy and said they could use some. I only had one package of the elastic so could only make these 7. I have ordered elastic, but it says it will be up in May before it comes. But we shall see. I have to go to Walmart to pick up a prescription and I am going to check while there.
See that red fabric with the cars, etc? A quilt shop I go to has a plastic bin they throw their scraps in. I am assuming from the classes they teach. And one can fill up a gallon ziploc bag and buy it for $5. You never know what will be in the bin. You choose what you want. They even encourage me to pour it out on the counter if they are not busy. There is a second quilt shop I go to that has a big wire basket with scraps, not quite as cheap as the other place.
Anyway, I got that piece of car fabric, not having any idea what I would do with it, But it was such a nice size for a scrap that I got it. There is still enough of it to make at least two more masks. I figure a guy might like one like that. The very top one with the gold vine/leaves is a fabric I made pjs with, all the rest used for these are from those scraps I buy. The mask is reversible?--not sure what the word is. Each one takes two 6 inch by 9 inch pieces of fabric...so either side can go out. And I use two different fabrics on each one.
While I was picking out fabrics for these, I found two scraps of orange that I will use for leaves...and also found a scrap of orange fabric I used in a dress for Lorelei. I was so happy to find it...I had been meaning to look for it but kept forgetting.

I am still waiting on fabric to finish my other project...the fabric is supposed to be here Saturday. Hopefully when it comes I can get busy with that.
I hope all of you are okay while we stay home. The staying home does not bother me too bad...though I would dearly love to get out for a slow, rambling drive. For the most part, I have really enjoyed not getting up and getting ready to leave ever morn.
Normally, I try to find a little something funny to post...but today I leave you with a 7 yr. old...
Hope you enjoyed it...I hate to think what I would have sounded like at that age, not that it isn't even worse now.
See the box above? I did not think to put the flaps down, but you can easily see where they fold. The box was not quite square but almost. And those two items in front of it are all that was in it. They must have been running short of boxes.

It was also time to order something from Amazon. What used to cost me $22, was $49 through a seller where as before it was from Amazon Direct.

Taken a couple nights ago....but I hope it leaves a smile on your face now.
