No Elastic Scrub Cap Sewing Tutorial for COVID-19 Support
My sister is an ICU nurse, working directly with COVID-19 patients. She mentioned that a lot of wonderful people are making and donating much needed masks, but at her hospital, they also really needed scrub caps to help supplement and extent the life of disposable ones they are using.
I looked at several patterns online and even tested out a couple, but many had problems. They were tooâŠ

Hey, Kid:
You know all that reading you love to do? Exploring the shelves of the library on your own and randomly choosing things that appeal? Keep doing it.
Also, those stories you like writing, and that diary youâre putting all your thoughts and feelings into are very good uses of your time.
Both will really pay off for you, though I donât want to spoil the surprise.
In fact, youâre about toâŠ

Dear Ten-Year-Old Tricia,
A letter from the next century! Shock-er-oo, right? Before you read this, hereâs what you need to do. Tiptoe into your bedroom, lock the door and pray that the barbarians (those four younger siblings) donât start banging on it. Privacy! I remember how impossible it was to get any in that crowded little house. I remember daydreaming about living on a houseboat, or aâŠ

When I look back at you from the distant future, I see you playing with your two best friends at recess. Two years ago, you made up an amazing, complicated game, âAll News Channel,â in which the three of you are investigative reporters who run around solving mysteries. You play the news anchors. You play the interviewees. You play the sports reporters and the weatherâŠ

So what? Why do you care what anyone thinks of your choice of reading material?

Definitely keep doing your whole mad scientist thing, too. All those experiments you dream up (most of which fail spectacularly, but are fun anyway)? Those totallyâŠ

The bad news? Things are kind of crappy right now. Your parents are on the verge of divorce, your best friend has a new best friend, and your hair is a disaster.
The good news? Things will drastically improve.
But you do have to get through the next few years, and thatâs why Iâm here. Iâd like to give you some advice that I think might help. Ready?
