I’m an introvert, so all this social distancing is right up my line. Spring Break began Friday, I always keep my deep pantry well-stocked, and we are cancelling any planned excursions. It is a strange thing to read about the empty shelves and lack of toilet paper, diapers, and wipes in our stores. I’m not quite clear how we’re going to manage school in a week, as our schools seem to think they can manage despite gatherings over 250 being banned.
In the meantime, I’ve had a massive allergy attack from seven years of dust and all the pollen that has filled the air. There’s too much to do in the garden to stay inside, but I plan to “let” the kids help me with outside chores this week.
Sewing has been hit and miss. I explained to the big kids last night that everyone old enough to help needs to assist in EVERYONE getting a break from obligations, since I can’t exactly drive away from the house and go to a store like I sometimes do. I am moving along on my Irish Chain quilt, although I did miss a day or two. I finished one skirt. I hope to finish one last courtyard step block today.
I hope all of you stay safe and well and have many happy hours of sewing ahead of you! I do still need to find time to visit all the other blogs this weekend.

I'm all in on social distancing as well!
I've never been one to get cabin fever is a snow storm, but this "social distancing" thing is making me a bit crazy! I know it's for the best. Stay well!!
Hope you get a nice balance of sewing and family time the next few weeks, Katie! Looks like you have some fun things up on that design wall!
i am a homebody to begin with--and social distancing seems very practical during this time...

I think it's also okay, even if they resume school in a week, to choose to keep your kids home until the numbers of cases go down. You have a baby, that's all the reason you need.
As an introvert, I've been practicing social distancing for years!
Enjoy your sewing and 'letting' the children help in the garden! 8)
I could be a professional in isolation. As long as there is fabric and food. Hope that the pollen dies down soon. It has been crazy here as well and we are hoping for a bit or rain to wash it down a bit.
I've been noticing that I've a bit wheezy here lately too due to allergies wanting to kick in. However, on the flip side I've noticed a lot of leaf budding as I take my dog for her daily walk. There's always good with bad and, consequently, bad with good. I try to concentrate on the good! And, speaking of which, your teal blocks are looking GREAT! I hope your children appreciate the extra time they get to spend with their MOM!
