@smolrobots The perfect little friend for @visiblemending ! 
Another successful cozy #crafting night. Projects included retailoring a dress shirt for a feminine fit, painting a dog portrait onto a blank default card for a trading card game, resurrecting childhood knowledge of crocheting, and my embroidery. I have a shawl I got from Vinnie's for a buck or two that has a tear. I'm sealing that up with flowers and stems. They don't quite match the print, but it's close enough.
#visiblemending #upcycling this was a wraparound towel in an inconvenient size. It gives six dishcloths. The dotted edges are original, and I blanket stitch all around the rest while I play #ttrpg. I concentrate and enjoy the game better when I keep my hands busy.
Each dishcloth takes an hour and today we had a three-hour session XD.
@CAETFOOD Very nice! Tagging for #SolarPunkSunday !
Well, saving money is a good reason for #NoBuy practices. But even better -- keeping things out of the landfills! This is a trend we ALL need to see more of! For whatever reason one chooses not to buy, I'm glad to see it catching on!
How the '#NoBuy2025' trend could help you get your budget on track this year
Ivana Pino, July 21, 2025
Excerpt: "Many of those who take on the challenge start by creating a list of rules for themselves that align with their lifestyles. This could include hard rules such as 'no new clothes whatsoever' or 'no new technology,' as well as rules that limit the frequency of certain purchases, such as 'yes to takeout once per month' or 'yes to one nail appointment every two weeks.'
"Others have posted online about having a 'low buy' year, which means they’re limiting the amount of purchases they’re making, rather than cutting out non-essential spending altogether."
An attempt at faux #kintsugi. I made a replacement section out of femo, painted it gold, then glued it onto the broken flower pot!
Alrighty then. Let the #SolarPunkSunday posts begin! Not sure what we'll post about today... #Rewilding, #VisibleMending, #RepairCafes, #RenewableEnergy projects, #DIY? Let's see where things take us!
This was so much work but it looks reallly pretty.
More flowers. I just embroidered them.
One more flower. This one is crocheted and then i stitched a little bead to the middle and embroidered around it. It's like a pink daffodil now.

Nice. I embroidered two little flowers on the other shoe.
They're hugging! There will be a purple patch on the toe cap so i left space for the patch. I'll probably add more flowers to the shoe once the patch is on.

I printed this patch myself! Kinda cool what you can do with legos and a lil patience.
Something nice and big to reinforce the seam on the leg. The Last Pair Of Pants 
continues on its major repair journey~
(I'll skip showing the mending I did on the crotch. It looks nice but like. Lmao.)
I did some embroidery :3
Lavender and sparkles.

@vera Ideal auch für #patchwork #visibleMending #repair #repaircafe #reparieren oder #collage. Wäre schade drum. Schaut obigen Post an @sewing @textilearts @visiblemending @repaircafe_de
Andere Idee: gibt es lokal vielleicht Handarbeitsgruppen, denen du es spenden kannst?
@Ravimakes Tagging for #SolarPunkSunday ! #VisibleMending rocks!
Hubby has taken up a new hobby -- needlepoint! He describes it as both meditative and also challenging -- like putting together a puzzle. Here are a couple of his finished pieces! Also, an excellent used book I picked up last year, which covers embroidery stitches, patches and crocheting -- useful for #VisibleMending and fixing up some knitted and crocheted pieces!
I GOT TO DARN SOMETHING AT THE CAFE! The practice paid off! #VisibleMending
(Well, not visible because it was in the crotch of some pants. Discretion was requested)
