Repair Job
We are feeling quite a bit better around here. A few sniffles left, and hubby caught the sore throat, but the rest of us are well.
We are having a lot of weather again. Today, I shoveled about 6 inches of snow with big drifts in a lot of areas. Right now it is raining. On top of snow, that is just nasty. Most likely it will freeze and become a big, icy mess. We are expecting avalanches tonight along hubby's route to work. So it is going to be interesting in the morning to see what happens. He leaves super early. Before the plows are usually out. Maybe the highway department will be proactive. I don't know.
Tuesday I had a Dr. appointment late in the afternoon an hour away from home. I had my dad drive me. So while I was waiting I did some repair work on one of my gloves that was falling apart. It is a knit glove with leather stitched on to the palm and fingers. This was a pain to work on. Some of the stitching around the leather on the thumb and palm had come undone. So I wasn't repairing any wear and tear just re-stitching.
I had to figure out how to keep the knit part of the glove stretched to stitch the leather back into place. Putting my own hand in was not helpful or efficient, and I kept poking myself. So I worked up a vinyl disposable glove filled with rice and stuffed it into the glove like a hand. Worked great! Going through the leather with the needle wasn't very easy either, but I tried my best to go through holes that were already there.

Good as new!
