As we begin to open up after our eleven week
lockdown,
there is still some nervousness about how life will look
in the near future.
It is wonderful to see people enjoying our new-found
freedoms-
Getting a haircut and new glasses were high on my
priority list!
The spectacles are my usual shape but I do love the
green!
I finished this dress a while back.
This is the "Emerson" Stylearc pattern, which I altered
slightly, by not having it button all the way through.
I also had a little trouble with the Mandarin collar so I
just bound the edge, as I would a quilt!
I finally decided to begin a new quilt, by sorting through
my scraps, yet again!
These are 16-patch blocks made from 2 and 1/2"
squares.
This is the quilt I am using as inspiration.....
but first I need to make a trip to my LQS for some
white solid fabric.
While not all retail is open, many innovative businesses
are able to set up shop on the footpath outside.
All this will change on Friday when we will have 80% of
our 16+ population vaccinated,
allowing regional travel and retail/entertainment to reopen!

| Here we are in Vietnam, New Zealand, France and Melbourne! |
anniversary!
So there is some cause for celebration.
Unfortunately our plans for a meal in a restaurant together, for the first time in who-knows-when have been scarpered......
by a malfunction in the kitchen of our chosen
restaurant!
Life certainly is looking a little different from last week, from last year AND from 1981!
😄
Happy days!
