oh my dear dear darlings...sorry about the neglect! i launched my show this weekend, and it was a lot of work to get rolling. i have a bit of a reprieve right now, so i'm taking the opportunity to catch up on some things that have been waiting to be mended and attended to. i'm going to do a bunch tonight to fill in the days i missed.

the first is a mending for others project. my dear n. was in town this weekend and he showed me the most dilapidated notebook:

i insisted on mending it. i took some good, solid upholstery thread - which is what i had on hand - and looped it through all of the holes. loose enough so he could turn the pages but tight enough so the book held together.

the result was pretty good in the end - for an improvisation, anyway!
