Speed weave / darning loom

 A while back I bought a little speed weave  Here

But I have been to busy to play with it until now. It's a very cool 😎 gadget don't you think 😁  If you never heard of a speed weave, it's a tiny loom for darning.

I had a really good time trying it out. 

This was my first attempt of darning with it 

Not to bad for a first attempt. 

My second attempt turned out a little better 

I don't think it was very fast, and I would have done it much faster using a darning mushroom 🍄 

The end result however was much better and it is a fun way to darn socks 🧦 

I'm of course joining Evelyn  for some Mondaymending over at Instagram.

If you haven't listened to the interview with me and  Suzie over at Sew organized style hurry up and listen as there will be a new episode on Friday 😁

I am also making a slow progress on my mother's sweater. It is a lot of work, but it will be worth it in the end 🔚 

I have enjoyed late summer and spent much time outside. Today it is more autumn weather and rain ☔ 

Wishing you a wonderful new week ahead

Sew Organised Style podcast

 I have had a long summer break from my blog.

Hope you all have had a lovely summer.

I have not had a break from mending and this sweater is what I have been working on lately 

This woolen sweater was was full of pills and had a few holes and stains. I actually said it was beyond saving... 🙊🙉🙈 Magic words... I obviously had to give it a try 😉

First I gave it a good shaving 

It's very worn and I did make a few extra holes while shaving it, not to mention the job was much bigger than I expected 😝😝😝

It made quite a difference though 😁😁😁

It's still a wip as I am planning to hide all the darns with flowers and beads

And now I'm sitting outside enjoying the last bits of summer and mending 

Today Suzie and I am Guesting over at  Sew Organised Style podcast

Talking  about our mending community Mendingmayhem and mending

We had great fun making this podcast and hope you enjoy listening 

Thanks to Maria and Sew Organised Style for inviting us 

More hearts 💕 and a bit of mending

I hope you are having a lovely Easter 🌷 🐣 🌷
I have made some more hearts 💕
I crochet a few from a Pattern I found on Pinterest.

 Me and Suzie  have launched an initiative to make, create, spot, and search for 2020 hearts - to symbolise hope in 2020.   Over at our mending community Mendingmayhem at Instagram.

They can be sewn, painted, knitted, drawn in the sand, crocheted, chalked on the pavement, found in the shape of a stone or a leaf - a shadow, a cloud!

When you start looking for hope you find it everywhere, and you can make your own too!

So please will you join us in spreading hope during this crazy year? 

Share your hearts by tagging #2020heartsforhope and please tag #mendingmayhem too.

Feel free to share this initiative.
So if you are on Instagram please join us to raise hearts.

Since the weather got warmer our snow chicken melted. I still wanted to share some hearts with people passing by so I made two hearts out of some branches and put some solar light on them. I'm really pleased with how they turned out

I finally found time to replace a fabric with holes on a friend's pillow. I hope he likes the cadillac.

I also had to repair my hubby's denim jacket, it's very much worn and it got a lot of holes since last time I mended it.
First I machine darned the holes but I didn't think it looked so good and made elbow patch.

My hubby is definitely over the mend my clothes invisible 😜 as he also wanted an embroidery on the back.

Wishing you a lovely Friday
Stay safe and well

Winter coat

Her highness 👑 🐶 is wearing her visible mended winter coat.
She got a lot of holes in it after chasing a mouse in some bushes. Not to worry she never caught it 🤣
And not that she really needed her winter coat today as she refused to walk and would rather sit inside my winter overall 🙄

The weather report say warmer weather and plenty of rain ☔. I don't think her highness will be happy about that either...
Have a beautiful day 💚
