Happy New Year! Can you believe it, it’s the end of the first week of 2022!
Christmas 2021 is behind us, but virus variants don’t seem to be letting up! So, we go cautiously into another year of uncertainty!! And now they are saying we should start wearing a particular type of mask — when many of us weren’t wearing any at all! I’m still making my double-sided cloth masks with a variety of prints for men-women and children and will probably continue to do so, as I feel some protection is better than NONE! They are reversible — after washing — so that you don’t breathe in the “exterior” germs! The section over the bridge of the nose has to be adjusted when you switch sides of the mask which “warns” you not to do so if it hasn’t been washed!
