St. Petersburg launches Race to Safe Campaign to diminish spread of COVID-19 - I Love the Burg
St. Petersburg launches Race to Safe Campaign to diminish spread of COVID-19
Andrew Harlan December 7, 2020, 7:10 am
The city of St. Petersburg has launched a new Race to Safe campaign to encourage residents to take all the necessary steps to combat the spread of COVID-19 in the city during the busy holiday season.
This is a determined effort by the City along with the support of community ambassadors like the St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce, St. Pete Downtown Partnership, St. Petersburg EDC, I Love the Burg and other leaders who are part of the Mayor's reopening advisory panel. As a city always striving to lead the way in the state of Florida, the goal is to be at the forefront with the least number of cases of Covid-19, keep hospitals from getting overburdened and the population healthy and safe especially those most vulnerable. This is the race to safe.
"We're all working hard to Restart St. Pete and adapt to a new normal," wrote city officials in a statement on the Race to Safe website. "But, in light of the continued community health risks, we're shifting our focus to reducing Pinellas County's COVID-19 positivity rate and being Florida's most COVID-safe community."
Keeping the city safe during the holidays
As of December 4, Pinellas County's COVID-19 daily % positive rate was 6.19%. The two week % positive average is 5.72%.
"Our daily lives and important moments like holidays, weddings and graduations have looked a lot different, but we must continue doing everything we can to keep our community safe. Below, you'll find resources to navigate the pandemic and help prevent the spread as well as metrics with our curent standing as a community."
The Race to Safe website offers comprehensive toolkits for events in the city, COVID-19 testing facilities, where to get the flu vaccine, and an overview of the city's economic recovery plan.
Healthy habits for residents
Just some friendly reminders:
Wash your hands often for at least 20 seconds (hand sanitizer with 60% alcohol otherwise)
Avoid close contact – maintain 6 feet of distance between yourself and people who don't live in your household
Wear a mask that covers your mouth and nose when around others
Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or inside of your elbow
Monitor your health daily by watching for symptoms of COVID-19 like fever, cough and shortness of breath.
Keep an eye on the Pinellas County COVID Dashboard
Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces
You can see a full breakdown of COVID-19 testing sites on the Pinellas County dashboard.

For this week's rainbow design, a pattern, I was trying to go for this sort of look. I suppose I basically achieved what I was going for, but I expected more of a watercolor finish considering I used an actual palette of Crayola watercolors over a matte white base.
Unfortunately I had a hard time getting the watercolor paint to stick. I had to mix it pretty thick and go over each heart a minimum of three times to get it to all stay in place, therefore making it more opaque and losing the watercolor-ity of it. Still it was fun and something new to try! I probably could have gotten similar or better results with watered down acrylic paint, but now I know pretty well how they act on polish, so I know for next time.
I love finding different craft supplies to incorporate into nail art! Anything unusual you've created with art supplies on your nails? I want to know, I'd love to try it!


It feels like making patchwork with hexagons is a kind of right of passage for a patchworker these days. I can't tell you how many blog articles I've read about the subject, whether it is someone embarking on a very, very long labour of love to English Paper Piece (EPP) their first full size quilt of 1 inch hexies, or someone looking around for a machine sewn hexie solution because they are desperate for a hexie end product, but refuse to spend a chunk of their life making it.
My first hexie make was going to be a quilt, but at the time I was in my early twenties and all I knew about patchwork and quilt making had come from a Laura Ashley book on home decorating. Nobody amongst my family and friends at that time was into sewing and I've never discovered any family history of it. My Mum could knit although by the time I was ready to learn that, she'd forgotten most of it and was too busy working full time and running the home to teach me. That does sound a bit whiny – it isn't meant to be as I love learning new stuff under my own steam. Although these days the internet teaches me most things, I've always been an avid digester of books and there's not much you can't learn through those two mediums, if you're determined!
Anyway, back to my first hexie project. It was supposed to be a quilt. It turned out to be a cushion. At least it was a large floor cushion! It wasn't well made and I had to stuff it with old tights as I didn't have the money for anything else, but it was a first step and one I never forgot – I always wanted to try it again and do it better. I did some other patchwork between then and my next hexie make, but not a lot. Then, this year, I decided that I wanted to try another hexie quilt and having aged in wisdom as well as years, I set out to make a small cot quilt. It took what felt like a very long time. So much hand sewing made the skin on my hands SO dry. But I finished it. I was even pretty pleased with it. Where it let me down a bit was in the hand quilting, which I'd never attempted before and found out I wasn't very good at!
After making that small quilt, I felt that I'd ticked it off my list and would probably not use EPP and hexies for another quilt – the time it took was impractical. And what have I been doing this week, only 4 months later? Yes! Piecing hexies! Amazingly, although my hands are suffering in the same way, I am much, much quicker and my stitches are smaller and neater. Because I've been doing some learning and practising, even my hand quilting is much improved – very satisfying.
There are some great tutorials on working with hexies by hand or machine on the internet (this blog has some great resources and is a good read too) and there are so many videos about patchwork and quilting on YouTube. You don't even have to make a quilt or even a cushion – many people use hexies as part of another project or as applique decoration – just Google "hexie" and you will be amazed how many project ideas you find.
If you're tempted to use hexies to make someting, please do try it. Don't expect immediate results that you're delighted with, but think of it more as the beginning of a long relationship with a very engrossing, enjoyable and slow pastime that once tried you will frequently want to rinse and repeat!


-Yes, Mr. Frodo. It's over now.
-I can see the Shire. The Brandywine River. Bag End. Gandalf's fireworks, the lights, the party tree.
-Rosie Cotton dancing. She had ribbons in her hair. If ever I was to marry someone... it would have been her. It would have been her!
-I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee, here at the end of all things."
