Having Tea with Me

Hello everyone! Apologies for the month and a half absence. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I've been a bit preoccupied with keeping myself and spouse safe and fed. Granted there was free-time, but I spent most of it playing Final Fantasy X or Stardew Valley. And for those wondering about the HTWM Facebook page, it's no longer there. I deleted my personal account and other attached pages because I grew very annoyed with Facebook as a whole and wanted out. Simple as that.
Anyhoo, I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during the Pandemic. Remember to stay indoors, wash your hands, and be smart about this.


Here's what I have done. I've been participating in the Taskmaster #Hometasking thing on twitter. One of the tasks involved doing something extraordinary with a pair of trousers. I didn't make the cut, but this is my hand-made plush. Hand-sewn and hot glued (I lost patience after six hours of sewing and failing >_<). It's supposed to be a little nod to Greg Davies' real Blue Ted plush. That's why it looks like a weird frog mutation. But I'm proud of it regardless.

The second sewing project I recently finished earlier today is a sort of frankenmask. I hand-stitched my own mask for when I need to go grocery shopping or do the laundry. It's made with the leftover green pants I used for the frog thingy above, a tie dye shirt, a pipe cleaner, some stretchy material from an old pair of long-johns, and magenta thread for extra color. It's by no means high quality, but I'm happy with the results and I'm happy I can wear something more colorful than those blue surgical masks any John or Jane Doe would wear when sick or avoiding sickness. Notice I had to do replace the reflection of my round sunglasses with one of my favorite Pink Floyd albums of all time because they help me pass the darkness on bad days and I didn't want what was in the reflection to be seen.

Be safe! Be healthy! Be Happy! Be creative! <3
