For the last few days Iāve contemplated how to address the current world situation. Some of the blogs I follow have just carried on without mentioning it. Embroidery folks are all-in on hand sanitizer holders. One sewing site did a roundup of DIY mask tutorials even while saying they donāt really work~~, which is awful but gotta get them clicks, I guess.~~ (edit: they are not a substitute for the real deal but when I wrote this I didnāt expect the shortage, and felt like it was encouraging people to use poorer-quality masks because they were ācuterā or something. Used carefully theyāre better than nothing!)
We were an early adopter; I had been buying extra non-perishables every grocery trip and stocking the freezer. We went to see Onward on opening weekend and thenā¦ went home and didnāt leave the house. Itās not a big change for us, so weāre three fewer potential vectors running around out there. My husband is wfh, the kid is not in college this semester, and I have a home-based business.
On which note: today I decided mailing little plush dragons around the country wasnāt a good use of shipping resources, so I put the shops on hiatus. Etsy is in full vacation mode; the site shop is still up but not shipping. Iāll put digital items in it soon, I hope.
Take this thing seriously, folks.
