Not a Morning Person

 So, when the kiddo came in a bit after 7am and asked that his mask be washed so it would be shiny clean when we left for a thing at 9am, my panicked reaction was

1: It can be washed, but it may not be dry by then

and

2: So it will be faster to make another mask

(he only has one he likes--with elastic going behind the head instead of around the ears--because he did virtual school last year, and will again this year, so has left the house very very few times since March 2020, when the school year ended early due to a combination of pandemic uncertainty and a tornado destroying two schools in town)

So I looked at my smaller yardages stash for probably longer than I needed to--again, not a morning person--and picked out a relatively neutral cotton print, the bit of high thread count sheet left over from the back of the bedspread I made at the end of 2019, and a piece of the thrifted heavy embroidery stabilizer that I have used for almost anything but stabilizing embroidery.

Ended up here


And then realized that I probably could have just reconfigured the elastic in the reusable fabric mask he got in the "goodie" bag with his second vaccination.

Not a morning person.
