Becky sent me an email this morning with a link to the website describing this grass-roots project: http://www.horseproject.net/ She wrote an article for Portland Magazine a few years ago about it. Do take a look as it IS cool.

Okay–who even REMEMBERS mending. Besides me, I mean. My Mom would have a basket of socks to be mended and would sit and mend them by putting the “darning egg” in the sock and then sort of re-weaving the fabric to cover the hole. My friend Karen reminded me yesterday of the lovely store “And […]
