In more positive news, chatting to people here about #MendItMay inspired me to mend my rucksack strap.

Have had this rucksack since I was a teenager and I hope to always have it around ♥️ 💛 💚 💙 🌈

In this second photo the frayed section has been darned with a rainbow of embroidery threads in pale blue, green, yellow, pale pink, dark pink and brown. It looks much better.

Got a proper darning mushroom and needles!

I think I'll have a go at my #mending pile. If anyone wants to share mending projects or #craft pics, that'd be lovely.

The stats for why #repair is great are pretty compelling:
