Did they leave during a snowstorm? I have a visual image of people sliding down your icy front path seated on top of the bookcases.
I've cut and pinned and sewn this evening to finish a project for a friend. He asked for six masks, I think he's going to end up with about a dozen. I had a pattern from Joann's for a reversible mask to which I've added a third layer to make it more robust. I still prefer my 3D pattern, they're far more comfortable, but it's what the client wants that matters. Elastic ear loops and no nose-wires for glasses wearers. It's the fabric that matters.
I'm getting close to the end of a novel I've listened to for ages. Silly me, I have a print copy of it but still prefer the audiobook; I move a bookmark through the paper copy so I can sometimes look at the words on the page. Next month I have to renew my public library card so I want to finish this before I have to jump through those hoops (I use the water bill from my ex to show that I'm still in the city limits and can use the library.)
