Happy Masks
Today I got an email and for the first time I had a "corona" moment.
I thought about all the people who have this virus, about those in the hospital without their family and worse those that die without the comfort of their family beside them. I thought about the health care workers who are surrounded and endangered by this virus. I thought about those who have lost their job or those who were notified they are losing their jobs. I thought about those who had to take a pay cut or fewer hours to keep their job. I thought about those who are blessed to still have a job. I thought about those stuck at home and the increased abuse that typically comes with crisis like this. I thought about those in leadership who are having to make tough decisions.
It broke my heart and the tears started flowing. After a few moments I prayed for God's mercy and grace for all affected by this pandemic. I prayed for God's comfort. I prayed that we would submit and say yes to Him and His way.
I still have a job and to my knowledge no one in my family has this virus, however, I knowing that others are hurting made me sad, so I needed something to make me smile and be thankful even in these circumstances.
I am part of a group that gave these designs for free. Since I already posted where I got the instructions and video in the previous post I won't do that here because their are no "real" changes.
Who knew the sewing supplies we take for granted would be in short supply. I was surprised to find I had enough elastic used for these masks. I will have to switch to ties for the rest of them.
I had to use a heavier interfacing because I am out of the sheer and I can't order anymore because everyone is out of stock.
Here are pictures of some of the construction.
