I’m still sewing masks. Not as many as when the stay at home order began. I have a small pile of masks that I can launder and re-use, but masks are fun to sew and good practice. It’s gotten a lot easier and I’m getting used to my sewing machine. My lines are straighter and the machine doesn’t jam as much as it used to. I should say, I don’t jam it as much as I used to! I’m getting into the flow and hoping to start some slightly more complicated projects.

There are so many awesome designs out there, it’s hard to stop buying fabric

I also did some gardening a couple of weeks ago. I don’t have much space to plant so I use a lot of pots.

The woods are right behind my house. A lot of small animals come out of the woods from behind the bench. I’m convinced Saint Francis of Assisi is inviting them to spend time in my yard. I’ve seen cardinals, robins, chipmunks, squirrels, and rabbits sitting in front of him. Last week I saw a large hare sitting in front of him!

I can never get a picture, though! I scare them off if I sneak outside and pictures taken through my living room window are that’s OK. I love these little animal visits.

I also love my jack o lantern planter! I keep it out in every season! This is Salem, after all.
