When I think about it I do seem to write quite often about my repair and recycling projects. I guess that’s just a reflection of my life!
My latest project was to make something out of my favourite trousers. I bought them back in...

About 24 years ago I think, a work colleague moved across the country and invited me to visit. I was delighted to see her again and to have an excuse to see another part of the country but I had one problem - at that time I never...

It’s funny but not so long ago I was chatting to Little One about modern lifestyles and how things have changed. We were doing some sewing and I was talking about how useful it is to be able to make and/or mend things and how life...

I have had this old folding chair for many years. I'm not even sure where it came from originally, I might have rescued it from being thrown out somewhere.
For a long time it was rather tatty-looking, with its striped canvas...

Next on my list of minor repairs was this lap tray. I’ve had it several years already and it gets used a lot, for writing and drawing while sitting on the sofa (for me or the girls), for writing or using my laptop in bed, and even...

This is for you @JudyEv!
My daughter (‘Big One’) has some boots she loves. But sadly the zip pull on one of them broke right off. And not just the little dangly bit that you actually pull, but the part of the slider that holds it...

A comment by @BarBaraPrz just reminded me of this. A couple of years ago I was visiting a friend one morning. She also had another friend visiting at the time and was making us all tea, for which she was heating water in a kettle...

Another minor victory in my fight against waste.
This folder was not so useful as the elastic straps that hold it closed had got old and saggy and continuously fell off. It would be so easy to toss it and buy another. And a new...

The next thing on my list to fix was this - do you know what it is?
It’s a very simple bed heater. I guess it’s just one step up from the old warming pans where you would put hot coals inside (yes I have one of those as...

I’m going through a bit of a ‘make do and mend’ phase here at the moment. Not that I don’t normally mend things, it’s just that sometimes they have to wait a while before I get around to fixing the problem.

Looking in my garden we have a sand pit and four bags of sand which we haven't yet used yet. This is because of bad weather last summer. Let us hope we get good enough weather this summer. My daughter's slide was outside all...

We always fall in love and we are very happy about being in LOVE, but what if you get broken hearted? How do you mend a broken heart? I have been broken hearted before and I always see to it that I am with my friends because they...

People change, just as relationships change due to some circumstances that aren't expected to happen. There are husbands and wives who fall out of love no matter how much they were in loved when they tied the knot and married each...
