Recipe for a Quarantine reflects my experience during the COVID-19 pandemic in spring 2020.
My husband, Bret, and I are following the stay-at-home orders together in Ballard, Washington.
Much of our time and thoughts revolve around food. Planning, getting, storing, preparing, eating and cleaning up. We never use this whisk and every time I see it in the drawer, I want to bead it.
Each beaded design element is drawn from what is happening around us. The upended world shakes me to move away from my usual palette of Comanche colors and design patterns I might never have created.
I use my iPad often to find recipes and to use Zoom, Facetime, and Facebook. Personal Zoom calls are fun, out of the norm highlights during our confinement. Connecting and re-connecting is entertaining, educational, and essential.
Our street memorialized our neighbor last week with paper cranes, candles, wine and tango music, on our doorsteps. His wife is expected to recover.
As of this writing the future is uncertain, but the sun continues to rise.
