I started the day with a trip to the post office lobby to use the self-serve scale to mail a package of 20 masks to a former co-worker in Anchorage. Then worked in the yard off and on. It wasn't as warm as yesterday, but was really muggy. Finished another dozen masks this afternoon for the local hospital. Lady and I had a mostly unsuccessful trip to look for cows. Finished the day with a sea turtle painting. I'm not totally satisfied with how it turned out, so I might do some more work on it tomorrow.

The pink masks went to Anchorage. In the past week I've made just over 4 dozen. I think I'm going to do something else for a while. I'm out of elastic and almost out of ribbon.
Wow! That's a lot of masks.
They're so bright and cheerful : )
Thought of some catchy alliterative post titles for you: New Norman Normal or No Norman Normalcy.
Love the colorful masks. Marie-Elisabeth found some instructions in the paper and is going to try to make some.
9"×14" rectangle folded in half. I use 2 layers, but the lining I just make 7x14 because it's easier to do the pleats and edge. My pattern says the edge binding is 2x6 inches, but I like 2.5x5.5". Those are folded in half and applied like binding. Elastic is 6". Ribbon ties are about 15" each.
I could make one more and take step by step photos if that would be helpful.
Thanks, but you don't need to, for now. Her pattern is different, but she's already got them done.
