More masks...and a lot of work for nothing to show for it!

 As I don't sleep in the nighttime, I sew masks.  Here is the batch from last night, and I have more cut for tonight!  I go to bed at 10 and am up at 3.  Every night!  I might as well do something useful!
 I have been hugely busy cutting out blocks.  Tiny little strings were left...and I made a squishy little mat, rather than throwing the strings away.


LOL!  This is what I have been so busy on!  I re-use these paper plates over and over, to organize my block pieces. For example, this is block 15 of the current quilt I am working on.  Looks like a terrible mess, but I can just take the paper plate to the sewing machine and have all my pieces together. 


So on I go!  I was off work at noon today.  Because of the covid virus, we have cancelled all the elective procedures, including ablations, elective pacemakers, and bypass and heart valve surgeries that can wait.  So we don't have very many patients except for chest pains and congestive heart failure patients, along with the covid patients.  So two of us got to leave early today!  Whoop!!



Have a great day, everyone!

It seems like the social distancing is working!

I have been a mask making fool, too, Julie. :)
Love your squishy mats.
Oh, sleep can be elusive, can't it? If I lay in bed for an hour and can't get to sleep, I just get up and do something. Sometimes I finally get tired and get a few hours, other times sleep never comes.
Your organization system for your blocks looks very effective to me. We do what works.
So when you come home early do you ever get a nap, or is it sewing time (oh, and a little housework on the side)?

Wakefulness seems to be the new norm here, too; I hope you and yours have
a lovely Easter Holiday...~ ~ ~ from Julierose still at home...

You must be a silent member of our small group of poor sleepers! UGH My friend and I both have sleep issues but she's got is worse than me. Of course, I have been on nightly sleep meds for YEARS now and there are times even they don't work like they should. But at least you get stuff accomplished. Don't think I could sew at 3am. It's good you're getting off early and out of the Covid central. Continue your good work!

That doesn't look like for nothing. I only wish I could get by on 5 hours of sleep! I need at least ten or I'm useless. I want a planet with 28 hour days, so I can sleep and still feel I had a useful day. =) Your masks look good. Are you making them for your whole office? Nice to have a little extra time off, if it doesn't take too big a bite from the pocketbook.

Sleep does seem hard to come by these days. I lay in bed longer but get less sleep.
I figure that at least I'm resting my body even if I'm just laying there wide awake.

Julie ,,what size length elastic do you use for your mask...we have not been too successful for them being comfortable.. we are using 7 inches....switched over to tying strings for now
Love all you share....almost restarted my dear Jane with you...but just haven't gotten to that point yet...sometime soon...as soon as I get caught up !..LOL...one can hope! Thanks!

Hello, I am Theresa Williams After being in relationship with Anderson for years, he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem. His email: {drogunduspellcaster@gmail.com} you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or any other Case.

A large tree fell over with a mighty crash, half a block from our home.  We are all grateful that it fell toward the street!  If you can zoo...
