Celebrating the spring

[galadhir]

Time for some new spring time masks!



Probably not the fabric I'd have chosen for myself, but rather than let anyone inside the shop to browse the fabric choices for themselves, the fabric shop has put a table in the doorway to stop you coming in. You have to ask the assistant to choose the fabric for you. I asked for spring material and she came back with a selection of four rolls of which I quite liked these two.

I know they have many much nicer choices which I could have found if I'd insisted on her going back and trying again, but these weren't so terrible that I felt like sending her traipsing back and forth to find something better.

It's very odd to roll up at the haberdashery shop and place an order at the window for two fat quarters of spring material, a metre of black felt and a metre of velcro, but it makes a lot of sense and keeps everyone safer, so I'm all for it.

That is some cute fabric and should make for some nice masks, I'm thinking. (^^)

Thanks! We have to seize these small ways of cheering ourselves up when they come along :)

Our daffodils just started blooming last week and right now they are covered in 3 inches of snow! But that fabric is very joyful.

May Day, just 3 weeks away...

Aaaactually, two weeks isn't it. I was counting by practices, the first of which was this Wednesday, then two more, and then it may actually be spring here...

Scary, isn't it? We've only just had the lockdown eased enough to have our first practice on Saturday, and it was a disaster. I don't know whether we can get up to speed enough to do a proper dance out on mayday. But we're certainly going to try, after last year was just everyone doing individual jigs in their own gardens/sitting rooms :)
