We often ask how you're passing time if you are trying to stay home during the pandemic. Bob and his daughter Michelle made this. Michelle was visiting for 6 months from Boston, so father and daughter crafted this media cabinet. Bob is a skilled woodworker and Michelle is becoming one herself, and enjoys learning from her dad.

And here's another creative way to break up any pandemic boredom. Kathy is fine-tuning her wreath making skills...and it looks like it's paying off! She likes to work with silk flowers in wreaths and pots, and gives the final product away as gifts. Looks like a lucky friend will have a lovely reminder to stop and share a Happy Moment.
