“Sheltering in Place” with Hermès

[diane278]

Well, I tried to make a face mask today. It didn’t work. I used the same fabric for both the top and the inside and it became too thick. I mean, it might work for a few months a year if you live in Alaska.

@tlamdang08....you made it look so easy. It wasn’t. At least not for me.
Oh, well, luckily no one’s health depends on my mask making skills.......

It looks nice honestly. If you’re afraid of the thickness, I think you can use it in the winter and make a new one.

When the fabric is too thick, try to use the inside layer with thinner kinds.
Your mask look so nice though.

I got more fabric yesterday. I’ll try again. Thanks.

@diane278 I miss this thread, although I am back to my normal routine I keep thinking about this thread.
Yesterday my SA sent me a picture of a cotton dress, he knew I would love it. And as soon as I saw the dress I thought of you. I will pick it up tomorrow but I can't find any reason not to post it here.
Does it look similar to your orange and blue oversize shirt?

I think the fading of this thread is likely a natural evolution. I’ll miss it too, if that happens, but there’s a lot that’s positive about the change: most of us are no longer living under the restrictions we‘ve dealt with for the past several months; and the fact that scientists and physicians have learned a lot about how we can stay safe. (I’ll admit that I’m still timid about going some places....but I think, with time, it’ll be easier....)

I think the dress will be stunning on you. The dress and oversized shirts share in that they both are embroidered, but the embroidery on the dress is a lot more intricate than that on my shirts. I love your tunics on you, so I’m eager to see you model the dress.

And, because of all the DIY crafts you, and others, posted, I just got a sewing machine. (I made the face mask by hand....)

I will likely "shelter in Place" with H for awhile longer since cases have risen dramatically in my area after attempting to reopen. It is very disconcerting to see the huge upswing in hospitalizations and positive cases. This thread has been a joyful respite from all of that. Thank you all for keeping this wonderful thread going!

I am still sheltering in place as much as possible, so there are only small H treats visible from my home command station. This rose shocking Ulysse PM notebook has been just a few feet away from me for the majority of the last ten years.

I’m also still staying home as much as possible. And I’m planning on staying around on here....even as things have already slowed down on this thread. Some items I need for my scarf craft project should arrive soon, so I should have something new to post.....even if the Project doesn’t work out as planned. My dining room looks like a bomb went off in it, so I’m really hoping that this design plan I have works. It’s a simple idea....or it would be, if I were more “crafty”!

Good morning, anyone care for a breakfast sweet/treat?
Outside is gray and misting... I am staying home until noon. We have a Father's Day get together and then curbside pick up
Have a wonderful day ladies and gentlemen!!!

I don’t have the Oasis in mind before I come in. All about the dress, shower gel and the swimming suit. But I can’t take my eyes of the sandals. The color is So sweet...
In store shopping becomes more dangerous too.
My outfit for tomorrow online mass

 

[diane278]

Love both the dress and the sandals....

I’m the same - I’ve been very busy with work for the last few weeks, so went missing. But I’m still mostly at home and still WFH because the US has done so poorly with the virus. We are still increasing in cases like crazy and people are acting plain foolish!! So home or masks and sanitizers all the way! happy sunday everyone.

I took these pictures and sent to my DH phone and said Happy Father’s Day! He texted back : “OMG, you wear these to clean the house? I thought “The housewives series!!!”
