If you like sewing, how about making some masks? I know some hospitals could really use them right now.

Peggy, here's a project on those face masks

Well, I have been planting seeds and starting them in the house, some of the tomatoes plants are about 5" high. Also, started a ginger plant, bought it from a grocery store and learned they are sprayed so they won't sprout. I rinsed it off every time I was at the sink doing dishes and it eventually sprouted! Now it is planted inside and the stalks are about 2'tall. Fresh ginger year around.

Here is a tutorial for making masks without elastic since it is very hard to find elastic right now:

Hi Peggy,

Make plain sheets and pillowcases pretty by adding Lace or trim or coloured embroidery or stitching. Patchwork - Cushion front, Tablecloth, Chairback, Quilt - let it grow. Repairs is the top of my list!! All the things I have been putting to one side saying, "I'll do that when I have some time" Best wishes.

I’m sewing another one of these! https://www.frugalfamilytimes.com/2018/07/how-to-reuse-old-jeans-to-make-denim-quilt.html?m=1

Well, I continue carving wood. Nothing changed for me :D

I'm making masks for healthcare professionals, the elderly and disabled. Lots of patterns on YouTube. Using up lots of cotton fabric scraps for the pleated masks, and knits for the curved smooth masks.

Pillow covers are easy to make if you let the back overlap in the middle so all you have to do is slip the cover over a pillow.

Just got this simple stool project done a couple weeks ago.

Hi Peggy,

Face Masks, Scrape Quilt, Decoupage Picture etc. Have fun!

I found this during the pandemic. Pillowcase dresses and personal care items for young girls in Africa..it’s called Little Dresses for Africa. A good deed for those less fortunate.
