This year has been absolutely insane, like an end time sci-fi horror movie … and it doesn’t look like next year will get any better anytime soon.

I mourn the parties and conventions that didn’t happen and hope that at least a few of them can take place again in 2021.
I had the biggest “party” this year on Halloween: A double birthday party with my best friends. There were six of us and we had pumpkin soup, pumpkin muffins and pumpkin omelets and two of us were even in fancy dress ;-)
The picture is the only one (cell phone picture) that was taken at the “party”.

I wish us all an end to this pandemic and that we can meet again in person with all the dear people in our lives, hug them and celebrate together :-)

Take care, stay healthy and feel hugged!

Yours,

Corona came and with it a new fashion trend: face masks!

But joking aside: Masks were needed, masks were sewn.
2020 will go down in history as the year of the face mask!

And here they are, my different models. I made most of them with the pattern from NähFrosch, but some also after the video in Zeit Online.
I made the folded model only because the other ones did not seem to fit men very well. To get the fitting even better, I added nose clips. I used the long metall parts out of filing strips.

Completed: (currently, 20.5.2020) 60 masks

Status: I kept some for myself and gave the rest away (curently, 20.5.2020: 39 masks given away or traded)

Do you remember?
Back then? So four weeks ago?
Back then you could party with your friends.
Like in the pictures from our Halloween Party 2018.

I miss that very much….

But I think the measures to minimize contact with other people in this situation are necessary and correct so that our health system does not collapse and we do not have to lose too many dear people to this virus.

The world has changed… and very quickly.
We will adapt… just because at this moment there is no other way.

Take care and stay healthy!
Keep calm and carry on ;-)

Yours,
