It was trying to snow again..
We had a early lunch..
While hubby and younger son went to do the food shopping.
I had some facemasks to make.
The thread on the first bobbin snapped.
The thread on the second bobbin got all tangled up....
Let's try the third bobbin!
By the time my hubby came back, I was on my second facemask.
I finally finished my 6 facemasks!
Now to carry on watching some Superheros movies...

Sleep tea time.
Off to get into a warm bed before the cold Hump appears 🐫
