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.

Since I am working full time from home now, my personal desk is now my work desk, and I just don’t want to be here on such a constant basis. So, I pretty much didn’t turn the computer on at all on Saturday or Sunday. Or many of the other nights this week. I’m finally doing this now, because I really, really don’t want to end up in a situation where I am posting two TWiPs on one day.

We’re living in an interesting time. Right now I’m trying to enjoy the fact that I am getting to spend so much time at home right now. I’d like this experience to reinvigorate my photography projects, as they’ve been in somewhat of a rut. Spending so much time in an office environment over the last few years has taken away some of my artistic inspiration, and I’d like to regain some lost ground there.
