Good Bye Angel, We love and Miss you


I can't believe I'm writing another one of these. Angel crossed over The Rainbow Bridge yesterday afternoon. She hasn't been herself for a while. She was Ty's cat and he wanted a quality of life exam. That difficult decision was made again. She was his best friend. He got her when he was in 6th grade, as a kitten from Mary who used to work in Dr Canga's office, he's 32 now. He named her after a series that he liked at the time "Dark Angel". We're all pretty numb......

Good Bye Katie, I love you


Katie crossed over the rainbow bridge Easter evening. She was such a great friend, companion, confidant, and more. She helped me get thru a lot of hard times.. 19 yrs was just not enough. She is already greatly missed.
She can now run with Cyndar, Toby, and Bailey.
I miss all of them and all the ones before them so much right now.

I'll be taking some time to unplug for a bit.

Everyone stay safe and stay well ♥

2 ways to Make a No Sew Face Mask





New CDC recommendations endorse using face masks when in public to help combat Covid-19. Many DIY designs are circulating that you can sew at home. Those needing something easier, or lacking a sewing machine, have used t-shirts, scarves, and bandanas — shown to be less effective than an N95-rated product, but still much more useful than nothing at all.

Here are 2 ways you can make a face mask with absolutely no sewing.
You can make a no sew cloth face mask with two elastic pony tail holders and a bandana, or any piece of cotton fabric and even rubber bands.

You'll need a bandana or other fabric 
and 2 pony tail holders or elastic bands

 

Be sure your fabric is 100% cotton.


#1     Lay flat and fold each end to the middle



Flip over


Do the same thing again - bring each end to the middle



Get your pony tail holders


 and slide one over each end,
about the 1/3 of the way in. 


Fold each end over the pony tail holder toward the middle


Place one end into the other, pocketing one end
 into the folds of the other.




You can adjust the top


and the bottom
to cover to cover your nose and mouth.


#2      Fold bandana in half


fold in half again


Slide a pony tail holder one over each end,
about the 1/3 of the way in. 


Fold each end over the pony tail holder toward the middle


Place one end into the other


pocketing one end
 into the folds of the other.


Slip the pony tail holders over your ears 


 adjust the bandana to cover your nose and mouth.



This is not a medical-grade mask by any means,but if you’re an asymptomatic carrier of Covid-19, it can help reduce the spread of the virus. An additional suggestion to add a paper towel or coffee filter to its interior may also increase its capabilities.
