Sewing Again - Garlic Knots, Border

I'm liking this border!  Using up scraps, but keeping them in a particular order, altho I'm not sure I'll have enough of all colors.  If I run out, it's doubtful if anyone will notice substitutions.   

 All the cleaning is done and ceiling and walls are repainted.  I'm still not sure of the new arrangement.  No pictures on the wall, and curtains not made yet.  Trim and molding are painted.  Finally I can access the (messy) closet easily.  All electrical is connected to the surge protector, and can be all turned on/off with one switch.  If the iron was left on accidently, the lights will be on, indicating I forgot.

 I can do cutting (below) here and also have access to business files.  One cabinet is turned sideways to reduce space  used by these cabinets.  I have a tall, folding cutting table in another room.  This is a small room - about 9 x 11.
The closet needs some attention.

If DH was here now, he'd be having an anxiety attack with the virus thing, and Dow tanking, and self-isolation.  Small blessings occur even with the worst events.  I am living my life, NOT sitting in a dark corner, not sucking my thumb, not boo-hooing constantly, altho I feel guilty about having good days.  I found his Christmas Card to me at the bottom of my messy purse, along with a Gift Card to my LQS, and he wrote, "Make Every Day Count", signed with his Smiley Face caricature.  He was a darned good man.  OK, now I'm boo-hooing.
