[h-cost] What's your dressmaker's dummy wearing today?

[Mary + Doug Piero Carey]

Well, top level is 3 of Dear Hubby's shirts that need ironing which I 
tossed there after I took the laundry off the line last night.  Below 
those is a hot pink blouse, circa 1970, which I am mending for my 95 yr 
old mother-in-law.  I've done the rotted seams & all that remains is to 
either find a pretty button which coordinates for her missing collar 
button, or replace the whole lot.   The fabric is of one of those 
peculiarly indestructible polyesters that just go on, and on, and 
on....  But this pink is FAR brighter than the energizer bunny!  It 
would have much simpler to just buy a similar blouse, but try explaining 
that to someone with intermittent dementias. 

After that, I've promised myself NO new projects until I've finished MY 
mending basket!  We've finally moved everything out of the storage unit 
into our new house, and all my bits & bobs are in one place at last!  No 
more finding that the item I wanted is not in the house!  If I can't fnd 
something now, it is my own fault.  <sigh of relief>
