So I listen to Check Your Thread, and inspired by the episode about the Winter of Care and Repair, I'm trying to talk more about what I mend and fix.
A couple years ago, I thrifted a small shirt that said "Sorry I'm late. I saw a dog." I cut the text out and whipstitched it onto this navy blue shirt with tiny white polka dots. And I've worn it maybe 5 times, because it comes across as an attitude tee, which I don't like. So, I took the text back off!
I'll probably pass the base shirt along because I don't like it either. I'll recycle the letters for some other undecided project.
Also, the handle on my frying pan has been a ~wiggly boi~ for a while. I finally got out my screwdriver and tightened it back down. So happy that it has an actual screw rather than rivets or some other non-repairable fastener! It was the first thing I looked for (after food-safe-ness) when I went thrifting for pans.

i have not worn makeup since i got this cat, which was my first mistake. trying to remember the only look i know how to do, which is a brown smokey eye with perhaps just a touch too much gold in the inner corner highlight, gold liner to about the middle of the pupil, normal black liner from the middle of the pupil back and along the lower lash line. nothing fancy! nothing too dramatic! the gold and my eyelashes distract from the indifferently applied amokey eye bc i have never really learned how to adjust for a left eye with more of a hood than the right!
anyway this fuckin cat. hopped up on the bathroom counter, tail went bristle brush, thought about hissing, didn’t, but got spooked anyway and leapt off in such a way that all my makeup brushes somehow landed IN her litter box. under the sink. this is no huge loss bc they were elf from six years ago but like!!! bro!!! come on!!!!
