I see the Russkies are still using SKS’s as ceremonial rifles.

I’m seeing a lot that say “F*** You Gov. Wolf” on them.

LOL I think that’s paramilitary police acting as traffic wardens.

I have been making masks until I feel like I'm going blind but I thought these were unique. My son-in-law's mom is in her 80's and in bad health. He asked if I would make two for her. I said what color. He said anything pink with hearts. So, she got pink hearts. LOL Not something I would wear but she was happy.

My masks all have pockets in them for filter material like a coffee filter, etc.

Nicely done. My wife has been using a similar pattern for her lady friends and associates, although hers have ties instead of elastic over-the-ear bands. Kudos.

These are designed so you can use elastic ear loops, elastic behind the head, or ties from cloth or shoestring. 😁 We ladies are having fun making them. I love to sew and it gives me a reason. I have been giving them to friends and family.

Thanks! One of the most useful skills my mom ever taught me.

I can’t sew that great so I have been watching a lot of no-sew videos.

I have found at least two designs I like and will try.

Instead of elastic hair bands I will use knee highs cut into loops or strips of the t-shirt material.

If you ever used those looms with the loops to make pot holders you know they will stretch.

Speaking of useful skills, about 1967 or 1968 Dad insisted I take typing class at high school. He said it was an important skill to have. Little did we know PCs would come out 15 years later and We would all be typing all the time. I used that skill every day of my career. I’d watch the other men (and women) laboriously hunt and peck away at the keyboard with their index fingers while I could touch-type. I always told Dad “thanks” for making me take that class.

The irony is that Dad himself never, ever touched a keyboard. He always said “that’s what I have secretaries for.” And that wasn’t a sexist remark, either — just the fact of the matter.

My wife has made many masks with “Long Beach Strong” embroidered on them. Big hit.
