If you look at the previous TWiP entries for this week you will find Ocean City, peonies, and my birthday in most of them. This year for Week 21, I guess I have to settle for one out of three.

All of the TWiP mosaics from this time previous years involve beach pictures from Ocean City, NJ. This year, for obvious reasons, we had to skip the trip. I’m trying not to dwell on it. There are so many reasons why I love May, and our annual Jersey Shore getaway is only one of them.

It’s been a stitchy week. I’ve been essentially living and breathing mask-making. I’m getting enjoyment out of the whole process, from the pawing through my stash for the perfect fabrics, to sewing them, packing them, and dropping them in the mailbox (or the pickup box on my front steps for the locals).

I’ve been spending every spare moment this week sewing masks. But this post isn’t about this week. This post is about last week. And last week wasn’t so dominated by sewing. It was dominated by a crochet project I undertook for my bedroom.

I’ve been working from home for over a month now. I like it. I wonder, when all of this is over, if I can get permission to work from home a few times a week on a regular basis. That would be nice.

It was a colorful week, thanks mainly to the pretty fabrics I’ve been playing with. These have been stashed away for far too long, and I’m glad to be putting them to good use now!

Global pandemic or not, we had occasions to celebrate this week! Our 25th wedding anniversary, and Eamonn’s 17th birthday. We managed to find ways to make our special days special.

It’s summer, so naturally I have gotten in the mood to supplement my handmade wardrobe. There was once a time when I loved sewing and I did quite a bit of it, but now I see it more as a means to an end. I love having a handmade wardrobe, and the most efficient way to add to it is to spend a few nights sewing. So, once or twice a year I do that.

This week marks the fifth anniversary of TWiP 🙂 Every week, I look back at the previous years’ posts and see how much has changed (and surprisingly, how much has NOT.) Sometimes, I admit, it’s a pain in the neck to come here on a Saturday morning and post this roundup, but I’m always glad I did, because Future Me would miss it if she didn’t have this week to look back on someday.
