@StitchDifferent good enough for dr onslow
This is actually a more comfy design, it's more like a traditional surgical mask. Have now run out of this spotty material so will be using remnants from a cotton ballgown I made in 1990 😁 #covid19 #Furnessmasked

This little one gives us all so much joy! She is creative, intelligent, beautiful, an out-the-box thinker and makes my heart sing! There may not be a school for her but I want her to know this doesn't mean she won't find her tribe.
