I thought long and hard about what meant most to me during lockdown, and what was it that I treasured most. Eventually I came to the conclusion that my most treasured items in these unusual times were the things that I used daily. I started writing a lockdown diary, I used my iPad to listen to audiobooks and much much more, I have taken part in numerous group Zoom meetings and courses, so my laptop was replaced for one with a camera which enabled me to join others online. My container or bag was designed to be just large enough to hold my daily ‘Lockdown First Aid Kit’, of the following items:-
Laptop
Headphones,
iPad,
Fabric roll of coloured pencils,
Diary and pen,
Neck craft light
And craft glasses with clip on magnifying lenses.
As an avid recycler, my bag is stitched from things I already had at home, an old linen shirt, trousers, blouses and skirts, 2 zips unpicked from a skirts, thermal curtain lining scraps and threads from my stash. All stitched by either hand or machine. It was great fun, so thank you Amanda, and I am so thrilled to now have a very personal daily ‘Lockdown First Aid Kit’. It certainly works for me, and will continue to be used daily even when lockdown is over.
