It seems I haven't had much to say. Every time I think, "I should write about that", it stops being important about five minutes later. I'm suffering from the same ennui and low-level anxiety that everyone is these days, with a heaping tablespoon of feeling trapped. My apartment is not big and three people live in it. It's a lot.

I spent the past 45 minutes digging in my closet to get at a fabric bin that was buried at the back and on the bottom. I have a mighty need to make more masks (Declan will need more for back-to-school as it is), and feel like I am not accomplishing enough (or anything, regardless of that I do manage to get done in a day), so maybe some batch sewing might help.

I have more fabric, and I bought more online (again with this mighty need) that I still have to wash, dry, and press before I can do anything about it.

Oh, and a couple of days ago, I stubbed my toe, the little one on my right foot. It fucking hurt, yo, and now my toe is a pretty shade of purple. And I shaved my head again. Fuck having hair. It's too much work and I just don't have the bandwidth for much of anything these days.

Now I think I will read another book (I've been doing a lot of that) and try to escape for a bit, if only in my own head.

Three people is a lot for our apartment, and we have 3 bedrooms. I often think of you and yours, and wonder (and hope) about you getting the space you need.

Any recommendations on fun places for online fabric?

*hugs offered*

I know a lot of people like Spoonflower, but I find them REALLY spendy. I picked up this: Quilting Cotton Remnants Bundle. Because you don't know what you're getting, it's a bit of a hit-or-miss. I did get some lovely black and white chevron cotton that I'm going to use to make some Twin Peaks Black Lodge face masks. When I, you know, find the time/energy/bandwidth.

OMG! So while I've never seen Twin Peaks, it's apparently Spice's thing, and would you have any interest in selling one of those Black Lodge face masks?? She would adore it.

Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one that was a little Eek at Spoonflower prices (although such pretty!!)!

My sister-in-law does fabric jewelry stuff and mentioned her favorite Queen West store, so I was thinking, you know, for her sake, I should go check out some early christmas gifts ;)

I can do that. $10 for the mask, plus shipping. Email me relevant details (like where I should send it).
