RBG Masks

... reversible RBG masks ...
"Thank you, Hebe."

Hebe sent two RBG masks in the mail, reversible, black on one side and decorated with a brown gavel on the other side.  She said they were hard to make and contained mistakes.

1. Catherine and Hebe cut the first one with the pattern upside down.

2. They forgot to put a nose piece in the next one.

3. The third, they got the nose piece in, but on the chin instead of at the nose.

It sounded to me like none of the masks contained mistakes for the mistakes had been corrected.

There was a lot of unpicking of stitches.  Hebe is sure I could see a few pin prick marks, but I could see none.  Hebe can sew beautifully straight lines now, a curved line and has practised zig-zagging over a chord.  Pretty cool.

Wyona had asked me if she could be Hebe's third grandmother and Hebe said yes.  I said that was nice because many people are afraid of Wyona.  Hebe wanted to know why.  I told her that is because she was always trying to buy her nieces and nephews off of their mothers for the price of 5 cents.  Some of the kids thought that they might be sold for that price, even given away.

Catherine said Hebe would willingly go live at Wyona's.  

I told Hebe that Chinese New Year had been an event to celebrate at Wyona's house.  Catherine said that about all they got to do was eat a plethora of different rice crackers.  Not even a lantern up, but it is too late for that.   The Festival of the Lanterns was two days ago.

Montreal is still under quarantine with $1,000 fines going to violations of the curfew.  

This makes Hebe nervous and she wants everyone to get home on time.

I wanted to show Hebe the daffodils at my house.

In return, Hebe showed me a card she had just  received  from last  year's camp counsellor.  The card came in a flat envelope, but then could be reshaped into a container that held flowers and butterflies -- something like a pop-up book.  Very cute.  Fabulous camp counsellor.
