After working on it quietly in the for the last few months, I’m finally ready to introduce you to a new collaborative project…

1 week ago by craftsanity I woke up at 4 a.m. then fell back asleep at 6 a.m. for a bit. There is so much to be concerned about, but isn’t this yarn pretty? I really appreciate random distractions like sun shining on yarn. Today I need to make a couple looms to fill orders, organize a sale of discounted seconds, unpack more boxes and most importantly wash fabric to sew face masks. My sister works at a nursing home in suburban Detroit and needs a fresh supply. She said she only has one disposable mask. That is so ridiculous. We need to get a
7 days ago by craftsanity When I pulled up the blinds this morning, this sweet creature was staring back at me. Even in this chaotic time, there is beauty. I’ve become quite the deer, squirrel, turkey, duck and other bird watcher since moving to the woods a few weeks ago. Watching all the animals coexist and problem solve gives me hope that we will get through this and eventually feel normal again. #nature #hope #deer #snow #puremichigan
6 days ago by craftsanity Am I really sewing masks?! I tried on my sample, looked in the mirror and, well, I still can’t quite believe how weird this all is. There’s a whole lot to be worried about right now, but I’m going to keep sewing face masks because I have loads of fabric and can do something about this.

Since the hand sewn masks are not as effective as N95s, I’m

All this brown is putting me to sleep. It was good to sew again for a bit today after my 3-hour google hangout with my journalism students. While not all my students are embracing our online classes, most of them are continuing to report from their remote locations. I’m headed out to my studio in a bit to make some looms. Since CraftSanity is a home-based business, I will continue to
5 days ago by craftsanity I’m so glad we can still go outside here in Michigan. We took a short walk through the woods today, but did not go anywhere else. Thankfully, I’m a total homebody. I can do this stay at home thing. I’ve trained for this my whole life. If we couldn’t go outside this would be much more difficult. We’ll see how we all feel about this in 21 days. ❤️
