This is my daughter, Mindy, who lives in Baka. I made Mindy this mask because we suffer from OOD in our family (Obsessive Originality Disorder). Okay, true this mask is not so original, it’s pretty simple – a rectangle of fabric, two ponytail holders and a few stitches... but who has time for more? We are too busy doing nothing!

It had to be purple because that is Mindy’s favorite color. She picked the fabric from my large collection that I have been saving for the quilt I plan to make one day. You would think now would be a great time to start, but then I would have to give up on doing nothing.

Mindy is working from home, but since she doesn’t have a car, I wanted to make sure she has a stylish mask for when she walks to do grocery shopping and when she goes to walk her elderly neighbor’s dog a few times a week.

First, I saw a YouTube on the low rate of corona in the Czech Republic, saying it was because they all wore masks. Then, on the night Netanyahu stated we should always wear masks, as he finished talking, I took a tea towel and fashioned this mask, sewing it by hand with a rounded piece to go under my chin and elastic ear straps - and lined it with a bit of old t-shirt. Afterward, lots of YouTube videos came out explaining much quicker and easier ways to make a mask!
