Another HUGE Thank You!

Another huge thanks to our community!  85 masks donated this past week alone bringing our total to a whopping 154!!  I am so proud of us!  These masks will be going to Blossom Birth and PAMF!

 

I have been hearing back from the healthcare community that they really like the ones with two layers of fabric (more layers just make it hard to breath) and with the elastic on the edges – this makes them easy to put on and take off and they wash up really well.  Here is a link to a good tutorial for these types of face masks.

On Connie's Play Desk Today

I thought it would be fun to share a little about what I have been creating personally! I have been working on a hand pieced quilt call Grandmother’s Flower Garden. These are my latest “flowers”. If you’d like to see more of what I’ve been up to, please hop over to my personal blog: Connie’s Creations

Spool Knit Snail

I’m so excited to share this activity! When I was young, my grandmother lived with us. She loved to bake and craft and spent lots of time doing those thing with my sister and I. I remember spool knitting from my childhood and I’m hoping that you have as much fun with it as I did (and still do!). In this new video, you will not only learn to make your very own spool knitted snail, you will also learn how to make a spool knitter from things you have laying around your home. Take some time out today to be creative!

Thank you!!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

Our community is so caring and generous! We had collected 69 masks as of Saturday (photos attached) which were delivered to Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. More have come in since then. I am overwhelmed with how many people want to help! Masks are still necessary and needed. If you'd like to make some here is a YouTube video with detailed instructions - anyone can do it - beginner included! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3Mq5sftNuo&t=17s

Zippered Pouch

Let's Go Crafting is practicing social distancing and is closed for in person classes. To help entertain and make it easier as we are all sheltering in place, we will be releasing a video each day of a fun project that is appropriate for all skill levels and ages. Today's project is a zippered pouch - great to make for yourself or as a gift for others!
