The blog post I wanted to write about was all about Carrie bringing me mending. On Mondays, when she comes to do my "house management" for me (it is WAY MORE THAN CLEANING) -- I go down to the basement to do some sewing. AND I walk on my treadmill. (life is all about ying and yang/good and bad/black and white/sweet and sour)...
Because Carrie completely understands how much I love to sew -- every now and then she BRINGS ME SOME MENDING.
One day -- it was her husband Steve's favorite pair of Lucky jeans. They are at least 15 years old. And they were so full of huge holes, he actually cut up a denim shirt and tried to sew a patch on himself. HYSTERICAL...
Anyway -- the pictures are a jumbled mess...but you get the idea. I am a MASTER mender -- no doubt about it...
I happily spent two or three hours working on Steve's favorite jeans. The MINUTE Steve saw them -- he put them on and Carrie told me he had the biggest smile she's ever seen.
And he's been wearing them every day....
I mean -- HONESTLY -- what do people do who can't sew??
I'm still laughing Rita.....If you could see my Hubby's favorite Jeans......I mean REALLY.....I could post a pic of the patches upon patches UPON PATCHES......hysterical and he still wants me to patch them......THEY DO FIT BETTER THAN ANY OF HIS OTHERS......
