Make do and Mend Challenge Update
Make Do and Mend Challenge:Mended some tools at work that I use for my job. Mended my toque to keep my head warm as shown in this photo.

I'm just about to go sew some buttons onto my husband's jacket so that it will be good as new! Also mended a pair of jeans.
ReplyDeleteLets see, I glued my cake decorator back together this week.
ReplyDeleteI turned an old cigar box and a messed up felting pad into a holder for my felting needles.
I am turning a pair of my husband's cords into clothes for the dolls because they are beyond my skills to repair.
A mouse chewed a strap on my snowshoes and I didn't realize it until had to hike a mile to our car in the middle of the solstice snow storm. So we took an old nylon strap from the highchair that we don't use and hubby poped a new rivet into it and filed it down because it was a little long. We gave it a good test run today ( sunhy and 33 degrees) while iking on a neighbor's land.
ReplyDeleteI just found your challenge and it's almost done. I wish more of us made do and repaired. Great thinking!
ReplyDeleteMelinda- I am always sewing buttons on- the JoAnns store calls me Button Boy cause I always need odd sized buttons.
ReplyDeleteStephany- Have you ever seen the Alton Brown show "Goodd Eats" on tthe food network- his one show on cake - he made his own cake saw set up out of two pieces of 2"X 2" and a saw blade and turn table out of a Lazy susan- made me chuckle whne I thought about the expense my Mom and aunts went throught buying those things!
Fleecenik- damn mice- I am sure they are good for something, but I haven't found a use for them yet!!
Candy- never too late! I am hoping this becomes the norm for people instead of just a challenge!
Just finished superglueing the Hedwigish looking ornament of Joon Bug's that the dog knocked off the tree with his tail!
