How is the mask situation in your part of the world? Are you required to wear one? In Germany, you have to wear one in stores and public transportation and some other places depending on the state. 😉
So I am getting used to seeing a lot of masked people. Or I guess I should be by now, but sometimes I am still surprised to see only half of the face of other people. And I am kind of sad to see mostly those paper masks because they get just thrown away after being worn, and that is not very sustainable and ecological. I mean we try to reuse things, and not use throw-away cups and such anymore, but we wear throw-away masks?
On the other hand, there are so many creative people making and wearing so great fabric masks. That is how I got the idea to design my own as well. I always make people smile with them as I showed and told you before:
I had Spoonflower print me 1m of each of my original designs and sold them. The first colours I sold out of were pink and blue, so I thought I would make some more versions of those colours… and some more in my colours as well. So the new designs look like this, and I made a one-picture-how-to for you as well:
If you like them, you can find them and the old designs here. I have them printed on organic cotton knit for the masks.
How is living where you are?
Take care, stay safe and healthy

We are recommended to wear masks in public crowded places. I have seen some nice masks out there. I have made lots too! Yours are really cute!
Thank you! So it is voluntary for you? Are there many that decide not to wear one?
It is recommended but there are no penalties yet, although they are talking about it. Some places though … stores, hairdressers, dentists, doctors, offices won’t see you unless you have a mask and follow the rules. Many businesses want their employees wearing masks. Schools are now just requiring masks. Every time something comes up in the news there are renewed arguments about it, but more and more people are accepting of it now. Some cities have gone ahead and made it mandatory, but not the whole country. It’s a mess of confusion. Simpler (and safer) to just wear one!
It is very confusing here, too. Since every state makes its own rules.
Oh well. I’ll just keep wearing my mask and stay safe. You too!
Sounds like a great plan!
