gnarly tree

Doug and I got out for a nice walk along the trails of a local conservation area.  It was so good to be out, beautiful sunny day, and not too crowded.  My camera is not up to the task of photographing any of the birds we saw, but we also came across this very cool twisty old tree.

mask attempt

I barely know how to use a sewing machine, but since I’ve got one in the house, I want to get  more comfortable with it, and masks are a necessary project.  Clearly, I didn’t cut my two fabrics to the same size here.  I also forgot to turn it back rightside out, but you can’t tell.  Regardless, it fits, it’s got a pocket for a filter, and comfortable ties.  So it’ll do.
