soc_puppetFor April 11th:
Mom and Dad went to the bulk food grocery store; they found a lot of instant yeast there, to the point where they called and asked what type I might want. They brought me home a pound of the kind we use at work, so I think I'm set for a good while! I should at least be able to get through the rest of the bread flour they bought me last time.
They also picked me up some table salt. Dad was apparently unable to resist the half-gallon sized bulk bag. "It was only $2.50!" says Dad. (Mom tried to talk him into a smaller batch, to no avail.) Barring contamination, it's not like it'll go bad in my lifetime. And even then...
I went out and did my Pokémon drive; I got back just as Mom and Dad were leaving to drop goodie baskets off with my brother and SIL, so they invited me along. Mom handed the goodies over on the porch from arms' length, and Dad and I waved from the driveway; my brother and his wife work at one of the local hospitals, and see a lot of people on any given day, so they're being extra super duper cautious.
I finally made myself some cloth masks tonight! I've got five done, and cloth cut for another four. It's from the fat quarters I'd originally gotten to adjust some of my pockets, but I think this is probably a better use for it. Plus, I'm pretty sure I've still got enough in scraps to extend at least ten pockets, so I should be set.
And that's it for today! Er, yesterday. I got real close to updating before midnight this time 😅

Date: 2020-04-13 02:49 am (UTC)Awesome! I'm planning to mostly share these with my own family; I've already got a good few other creative projects to eat up my time, or I might make more. Still, we'll see what the month brings...
