Thanks for the plug GM :-)

SallyKate also has an Etsy shop selling masks - she’s raising funds for a cat rescue, mine are in aid of a bellringing teaching centre.
I was ordering Christmas fabric last night

I’ve adapted fairly well to masks too. Like some others I wasn’t an early adopter as I didn’t really go into shops that much.

At work I have to wear the medical masks when walking around. I mostly find them fine - they have no impact on my breathing and I can walk up several flights of stairs with no problem.

Yesterday I got a bit breathless when doing quite a bit of talking. It was probably anxiety and ironically I was explaining and describing anxiety and the fight flight response and helping someone with relaxed breathing 😂. We now have to wear visors too when seeing patients so I think it was that (and my glasses were steaming up over my mask and under the visor). I’m sure I’ll get used to it.

How do we find these Etsy shops? There are so many selling masks. I could do with a few more and am a bit rubbish at sewing them.

I knew there was another Fetchie with masks on Etsy, but couldn't remember who - of course it's SK!

I bought this one a few weeks ago, can't remember where from, but I like what it says and I'm a Hamilton fan :)
