I felt very pleased this afternoon - Will split his sandbox shorts I made him (the ones with the echino leg) about 2 weeks ago and they had sat in my sewing room waiting to be mended. I finally summoned up the courage to attempt to mend them this afternoon (- did a pretty good job of it, I have to say!)
Anyway, that's not why I feel happy/satified - when Will came home and I told him that I had mended them, he immediately took off the shorts he was wearing and put his handmade ones on! Sometimes I'm not really sure how much my kids like the things I make, but this showed me that at least one of them loves his shorts!
