Finally! I´m A Cat Momma!



Yah, OK, was only half the truth.
Since yesterday masks are required in supermarkets and public transport, so Ingo was busy making masks, as we cannot buy any.
We went to buy fabric, no proper rubber band, but Ingo can do.

And. What happened????



Darn cheapy gave up.

Hence we went to get a new one.

Haha, stupid us!!!
No masks, no desinfectant, no rubber bands, did we really think we can buy a sewing machine?!
Sold out.

Online?
Sold out.
But before that happened Ingo got this far - Meow by hand, though, isn´t that a sign? ;-)



Gosh.
I went to the grocery, I had to.
Spooky with everybody wearing those masks, and worse!!!

Now people feel "safe" and come close!

After a while my cats really came close, too, wee, breathing free is differently.
Now I have an idea how my Mum must´ve felt under the oxygen mask.
Henry´s Sibling isn´t happy, either!



Also Kings & Co are banned...

What are "we" doing here right now?
If only... a real cat, huh. Or two.

Die Masken sind nicht angenehm zu tragen, aber es geht. Man gewöhnt sich dran....Es gibt auch Anleitungen im Internet für Masken ohne Nähen - aus alten T Shirts gemacht. Dir ein schönen Tag mit und Ohne, GlG, Valerie

Masks are not required here, BUT everyone is wearing them. It is the best way to keep safe, I don't go places where I have to wear a mask. That means I stay on my own property and don't go outside when someone else is out there. Stay safe, dear. LOVE the kitties. Sorry about the sewing machine. I'm nearly out of needles.

Valerie, Ingo hat noch sein Dreickestuch aus Harley-Zeiten. Aber das mit der Nähmaschine.... Murphy´s Law!!! ;-)
Sonnig hier, dir einen schönen Sonntag, GlG, Iris

Eliszabeth, well, as masks are only to keep others safe and people don´t get it... I just want back to normal, is was really spooky.
Ohhh. Needles we do have! So useless now! Irony at least makes me laugh! Meow!

The Virus! When I was in Australia I had contact with a various locals. Crocs, snakes, spiders aaaand biting, sucking, itching, a.s.o "Insects" (you know sweet little ants?) We survived, found new friends and still alive.

Iris Flavia said...

We were lucky. I nearly touched a deadly spider. We never checked our shoes, collected wood with bare hands and were just lucky. Those were "Invisible" threats, too.
"Corinna", I´m not sure, panic or real? I´d like to be back in the Australian Outback now!

Stevenson said...

Oh Iris you have a cute selection of fabrics!!! And I love that Ingo did some DIY Masks which makes it a little fun than just buying them. Please stay safe my friend and sending you hugs from the warm warm Philippines!

Tom said...

...at this moment who knows what "safe" is? My best wishes to the both of you!

William Kendall said...

A lot of people here have taken to wear masks.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you Stevenson! Yes, maybe it´s good we cannot buy masks and make cute ones at home!
Stay safe in your beautiful weather, dear friend! And safe,too!

Tom, I have no idea, some say this, some say another.
People should use their brains, that might be safe, huh?

William, I´m not sure if it´s for the better or the worse!

Iris Flavia said...

I think Ingo´s will hopefully do and we´re back to normal soon.
And maybe even buy a sewing machine, he wants to make me a skirt - I have to do some excerise ;-)
From Henry and me: Hugs

Ella said...

How good Ingo can sew!
The kitten mask is beautiful …
Thanks for the info, Iris! So, if I want to go shopping in Kaufland do I have to wear a mask?
Have a nice Sunday! A little big hug for you! xoxo

I love the cat fabric. I can't believe sewing machines are now sold out. I am so TIRED of this whole thing at this point. Masks were required here starting Monday (April 20). I'm lucky my older sister made me a few before it became mandatory. :-(

My name is Erika. said...

Oh no. That is just what you didn't need to happen. Luckily you got that cute cat one before the machine died. I really like it. Have a super start to your new week. Hugs-Erika

Natalia said...

Good we somehow thought about it much earlier and many weeks ago we bought last masks online, those proffesional ones that even doctors wear. But your masks are so cute! Stay safe and healthy everyone!

Jeanie said...

I like the masks. Well done, Ingo, especially with a broken machine. We are wearing masks on our walks, although I will lower it if no people are in sight so it is easier to breathe. I know what you mean about the breathing -- it's different. I'm going to do a post about some of the people who gave us masks. They were hard to come by here and I don't sew!

Bill said...

I like those cat masks. We don't have to wear them yet but we do not see many people until we go grocery shopping and it's usually in and out getting what we need and not talking to anyone except the checkout person. When out walking, I may see a few people but all we do is say hi as we're moving right along.
Sunny here and coolish. Have a great evening, Iris.

gigi-hawaii said...

Too bad about the sewing machine. David bought me a mask at the market and it fits perfectly.

Sami said...

What a pity your machine broke down and you can't find a replacement.
Love the fabrics, specially the cat one of course.
The crowned lion is very nice.

The Happy Whisk said...

Fun fabric! Happy Sunday.

RedPat said...

I wonder if we ever will go back to "normal" after this is over. Will half the people still wear masks?

At Home In New Zealand said...

I don't do well with masks as I always feel like I am suffocating. Hopefully they won't make wearing them here something that we have to do (not that I am going out anywhere!). Take care, Mxx

Iris Flavia said...

Ella, yes, you would have to wear a mask there! Örks!
But, well, we do, right?
A little BIG hug to you xoxo

____

Anne, OH YES. Nor more to add!

____

Erika, thank you, to a good new week for us all! Hugs, Iris

____

Natalia, yes, that was clever. Better safe than cute! These only help to not infect others... To health!

____

Jeanie, yes, we lower them, too, when out of the store. Looking forward to your post!

____

Bill, we only wear them in shops, keep away, but greet.
Only 6C over here, but sunny, seesh, we get no rain at all!
Have a great Monday!

____

gigi, lucky you!

___

Sami, Murphy is just everywhere ;-) Yes, the cats are my fav, too. The other Ingo made me would be appropriate for a kid ;-)

____

Happy Whisk... the only cats I´m "allowed" to have! ;-)

_____

RedPat, in some countries this is normal, but I felt like I don´t get enough air!

____

Margaret, yes, it´s not a good feeling! Take care, too, Ixx

River said...

A hand sewn mask is better than none.
My sewing machine lives behind the bedroom door, I haven't touched it in years.

Iris Flavia said...

Send it over, please ;-)
Hubby said he´ll sew me a skirt!
