Mending

On a day like yesterday, which ended up not at all as I'd expected, after plans evolved, I so enjoyed sitting down at the sewing machine last night and mending. I embroidered bicycles to make patches for the knees of Aaron's khaki's, put ribbons around the marks on Nora's little black pants where I'd let down the hems, appliqued hearts on the knee and bottom of her little pants. Making the garments look like they'd been purchased that way. Yes, I'm definitely putting "artful mending" on my new business cards.

Connie, I think that's terrific! How great it would've been to have had somebody do that for my kids when they were growing up! I bet Aaron & Nora will love them!
