This isn't the mending that I was able to do on Monday, it is the mending I was able to finish since the last time I wrote to you about mending that I have had a chance to mention it. Actually, not all of it is mending, some is alterations if we are to be… Continue reading Mending Monday – Halloween
SweeTango
Not the dance... Just my favorite apples of all time. Sweet, tangy, crunchy. Their season isn't very long each fall, but I wait all year for them to arrive.

As I type, I am still experiencing personal illness (darn cold). Let me up date you on my progress up until today. :D… Continue reading Workbasket – progress despite illness

I noticed that my light colored under-lovelies were grey instead of white, after only a few runs through the very unimpressive washing machine. 
I decided to hand wash the delicates and my socks. I divided them into lights and darks and then started with the lights. A couple of years ago I found this… Continue reading Possibly Gross – Laundry
